Ribbon Roses

Thank you for coming over today!

This week, I've been sharing photos from

the "Walk for A Cure" event that I

attended last October 16, benefiting

the American Cancer Society.

Pardon the fuzzy photo; the lady walking in

front of me wore this badge. It says, "I'm

creating a world with more birthdays,"

which is the American Cancer Society's

goal through early detection and

raising funds for the cure.

Isn't that TADA!?

And what a challenge in perspective.

How many times have we complained

on our birthday, "I'm getting old!" or

"I"m another year older!", when in fact

a birthday & a new year added to our

life is a gift that we should never take

for granted because tomorrow

isn't always guaranteed.

Anyway, here's a craft inspiration

for the day:

These are ribbon roses that a lady was selling

at the event. It's a play on the pink ribbon,

the international symbol for breast

cancer awareness.

The folks who bought the roses

wore them in their hair or on

their T-shirts.

You can make your own by using old, blah

ribbon & turning them into TADA! roses.

Just follow the instructions here & here.

Have a nice day!
