If you happen to be a mom and from Texas...

Cassie, with Fleishman-Hillard in Dallas contacted me to see if I could help spread some cancer awareness information for her client, Texas oncology. Me, being the pushover I am said, "Of course!" So here you go: (click on the link to send a sweet reminder to the mom, sister, aunt, friend in your life who needs a gentle reminder to have her screening done)

I personally have never been screened for cancer, although it's on my mind quite a lot. My husband's grandmother died recently from cancer and it just seems like everyone knows a woman who has it or has had it these days. Of course, I'm not avoiding it, but without insurance coverage, it's easy to avoid the costly preventative measures that cancer screening provides. So no more excuses, let's get it done. Shall we?

I'm a Dallas-area Texas mom. I think about cancer a lot also, because it's so prevalent around us. I finally made it in this week for a lot of my annual check-ups too, because I'd been feeling guilty for not being regular lately.

All good things come in Threes - a giveaway!

***If you're here via Bloggy Giveaways - please go to item #3 - that's the giveaway!*** Mondays are good days for announcing things, don't you think? It's long been known that I'm a maker of lists and enjoy the pleasure of accomplishing tasks and marking them off of said lists, if for nothing else than just the satisfaction of seeing something was actually completed. 1. My brand-spanking new Design Blog is finished. I am so excited about it - I coded it myself (which explains why some of you who have MSIE6 and FF2.0 will have viewing issues - working on the bugs still). You can visit it if you like, or not. I still have some work to do on it and there are still a few pages that are either buggy or not complete, but honestly? I just wanted to get it out there so I could announce part two of my list. 2. My order pad is open for business. Yay! I already have a wait-list of five people, but I will accept new clients as well - please go to my new Design Blog for the ne...

Biggest Bloggy Giveaway Carnival Ever - get ya some!

Image
It's finally here - the latest edition of Bloggy Giveaways. For information on how the carnival works, check here -- in a nutshell, lots of bloggers are having giveaways on their blogs and all you have to do is comment for a chance to win. This is my very first-ever and I'm so excited, because I actually have one of these necklaces myself, so if you win, we can pretend to be bbff (bloggy best friends forever). This is a 14K gold cherub pendant worth $125! I purchased two of them about a year ago with the thought that I would eventually give one of them away, so I guess I was waiting for such an occasion as this. And just in time for Valentine's Day. You can keep it for yourself, or give it away -- you decide. Heck, I'm feeling generous -- I'll even throw in the silk and velvet bag it's pictured on. :) It's quite dainty, measuring about 16 inches total length. How to win: 1. To enter, just leave me a comment. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter, but you ...
