Hi my dear friends….

My jewelry post is coming but for now I am asking for a favor… I know …. I know… whup me with a wet noodle…¬† as its way overdue¬† …. but once you read this …. I know you will forigive me …

I¬†realize that times are tough ….¬† the economy isnt where we need it to¬†be but I¬†need help¬†….. in order¬†TO¬†help…… someone dear to me…. with a goal…¬† if you cant … hey you cant… this is not a pressure post… and I completely understand if you are not able…¬†¬†¬†

The friend is Deena… she is a¬†sweet soul and a breast cancer survivor … I admire her strength¬†¬† …¬† to me she is special ….¬† she has a page on the Susan G. Komen website and it is called THE RACE FOR THE CURE¬†¬† …. where one can donate …. she is trying to reach a small goal of $500… which isnt a lot… if you are unable to donate… perhaps you can help us by getting the word out and providing a link to her page….¬† she has $150 so far…¬† UPDATE:¬† SHE HAS NOW REACHED $175.00…¬† UPDATE:¬† NOW AT $180.00….. UPDATE: WOOO HOOO… UP TO $210.00 !!¬† UPDATE: $230.00 AND COUNTING!!¬† Almost half way there !!!…. UPDATE:¬† $280.00 !!!¬† …. Halfway and then a few!!!¬† UPDATE:¬† WOW!!!¬† $305.00¬† !!!!¬† Just a few more days left¬† …..

This is such a wonderful cause… as we all know… and there are many of us whose lives¬†¬†have been touched by¬†breast cancer either directly or indirectly…¬†¬†

If¬†neither is possible ……¬†a word of encouragement will do the trick too…. whatever your dear hearts are able is A OK !!!¬† ….¬†

I truly appreciate the wonderful friends I have made here and I look forward to many more years of blogging with you¬†¬† …..¬†¬† the other day I realized that it has been over a year that I started blogging and that some of the same people that first left comments are still with me today…. this is such an honor to me… I value you …. for being you….
