Back in September, I decided to host A Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge. For some reason, this has been a passion for me. Thank God, I do not suffer from the disease, nor does any immediate family members. But I feel a strong need to raise awareness. So I promoted this craft challenge to create a work (all creative mediums accepted) and post to the board.
Well the response has been slow but powerful. I have received numerous emails from survivors & their friends/family members championing this event. Like I, they all thought it was a grand idea. The suggestion has been that all items be gifted to a survivor or donated to an organization or auction for the cause.
Here are the 7 entries we received:

Shannon/Paintitprim won with 28% of the votes. She will receive a "Pink for a Purpose" Hammer Out Breast Cancer hammer as a gift. These lovely two tree ornaments were carved out of wood and designed by the artist. Please see above pix.
Although this event was treated as a challenge, and there were votes.. we know that everyone is a winner. The main reason was the Awareness! Early detection is Key! Each entry will receive a wonderful hand stitch card magnet compliments of Granny3641. Thanks Jean! Hopefully next year I can have my own website to host the challenge! Whoo-Hoo!!!
