Can you believe it? It's Our 3rd Annual BREAST CANCER AWARENESS CRAFT CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am inviting all CRAFTERS (beginners, hobbyist & professional) to join this challenge.

I am so inspired by the survival stories I struggles I have heard surrounding the Breast Cancer. I thought a "Craft Challenge" is a great way to continue the awareness (BTW - this challenge can also be adopted for other awareness issues as well)

Here's the challenge:

Create, Repurpose, Recycle or Reuse an items to create a craft that celebrate those affected by Breast Cancer. Keep in mind the national awareness color for breast cancer is pink. You can incorporate other colors but keep the theme. All mediums are accepted: Papercrafts, T2T, Mosaics, Computer, Sewing, Painting etc... whatever your precious heart desires...

The challenge begins today Thursday, October 2, 2008! It ends Thursday, October 9, 2008. That is the deadline to post your pictures. You only have to post a picture of your creation. We will all vote on the final entries from Friday, October 10th to Friday, October 17th. The winner will be announced on Saturday, October 18th. The winner will receive a special gift from me - a gift box full specialty BC Awareness products.

Participants of this challenge are encouraged to gift their finish project to a survivor or donate it to a local organization or fund raising event.

Are you ready? Who's up for the challenge?

Please share with your friends on other boards... I need you all to market this challenge to get the word out & to help raise awareness. Let's make this a huge success!

Why not do something to help make a difference?

Unplanned Curb-side Shopping

Ran out to Michaels to get this nifty little tool called the Crop-a-dile Its a great tool that allows you to punch different sized holes in a variety of materials. It also allows you to set eyelets without even breaking a sweat.

On my way home I discovers a lot of great items on the street. Upon further investigation - I found out it was Bulk Junk day in Fanwood ,NJ. Tons really great items just sitting on the curb. A resident told me that most people put their stuff out days before pick-up day as they want the good stuff to find a home! How about that? Recycling or shall I say Freecycling at it's best.

So I found a few good things I could use in my Tomboy Tools
demonstrations!

Have a great day! Get out there and "do" something good!
