Our Craft Lounge ~ Sneak Peeks & some photos...

First off ~ I have a fun new set to show you from Our Craft Lounge. It's called The Bees Knees. How cute is that title for a stamp set? Do you know what it means (originally I didn't, so I thought I would ask you). Well it means ~ Excellent or High Quality ~ who knew?

Anyway, this fun new set is by a brand new artist for Our Craft Lounge & she is FABULOUS! Her name is Debbie Corbari & I adore her new designs! You might be able to see that I used some of the new Brown Sugar Sparkly Fluff on the bee hive ~ too cute. Do you have some the of the Fluff yet? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ~ IT'S FANTASTIC!

We will have sneak peeks all week ~ you can check out the following blogs for more fun peeks:

Yesterday's Event ~ Race for a Cure!

So yesterday, my husband, kids and myself walked in the first ever Northern Indiana Race for a Cure. It was great and I thought we all did very well. Here we are at the starting line just before the race.

This picture is when we were on the Survivor Rally. As a 3 1/2 year survivor, it was cool to be part of the sea of pink!

We had an unseasonably warm day for late-April. Thankfully, it was a bit overcast, so it wasn't too hot. Here is a picture of the pink trail of people behind us on the River Walk in downtown Mishawaka, Indiana.

A life lesson ~ At one point during the race, my son (9 years old), saw a shortcut that we could take. I simply told him that sometimes we have to take the harder or longer roads in our lives. Since I didn't get to take any shortcuts during my treatments, maybe we shouldn't take any today during the race. He agreed...

I was very honored to be part of the walk this year. It's not just a "walk" for my family, it is literally is a "Race for a Cure". I pray all the time that there will be a cure ~ not only for me but for those who will follow.

I am so fortunate to have raised $755 as of last night & I'm thrilled to say that most of that money will be used right here in the Northern Indiana area. How thrilling it is to know that the cancer center where I received treatment, will benefit from my walk.
