Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As most of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  We, as ladies, need to fully aware of this.  Even though it is one of the most curable forms of cancer, it still takes thousands of lives every year.  Please be aware of your bodies.  Make sure that you get your annual check up and do the monthly at home exam.  If find anything, and I do mean anything, unusual, get to the doctor as soon as possible.  I had my own scare a couple of years ago when doing my exam at home.  I found a lump in my left breast.  Talk about freaking out.  I made an appointment with my doctor, had a mammogram and an ultrasound.  Thank God mine was just a calcium build up in a milk duct.  After having three aunts suffer through breast cancer, I don't take any chances.  You shouldn't either.

So, in awareness of this issue, the Greeting Card challenge over on the Outlawz for this week is Breast Cancer Awareness.  Our cards had to have something to do with this theme.  I found a too cute image over at Beccy's Place and knew I had to use it.

Too cute, right??  I love it.  The DP paper is actually a baby girl sentiment page, but the words on it fit perfectly with this challenge.  Words like Precious, Beautiful, Special, Happy, Future, Cute.  These are words that I would associate with a survivor of Breast Cancer.

Thank you so much for stopping in today as we honor those suvivors and remember those who fought a good fight until the end.  God bless you today.
