PINK SATURDAY

Ladies please enjoy my PINK SATURDAY
post. Also please go to howsweetthesound.typepad.com at Beverlys blog
to see the list of more Pink Saturday participants! Beverly is a wonderful hostess and has a lovely blog!

The story behind my post....My Godmother Frannie has breast cancer,this is her second go around...she remains strong,has FAITH in herself and a HOPE for a CURE for all. When her battle began I was at a loss for words so I wrote her a poem and made her a doll! She is truly inspiring to me.

"FAITHFUL FRANNIE"

She is full of HOPE,
Hug her when
It's hard to cope!

Faith in self and
In finding a cure
Can make all this
Less to endure!


When everyone saw her doll as she went to all the Chemos and hospital stays with Frannie I had requests for more! I started to make more,one of my favorites was a special request for a "Bald is Beautiful" that had no hair. I am currently making them and giving all my profits to our local charter for Breast Cancer. Each one is made with alot of love,has a tag with the poem attached,
is signed and dated and if requested has a special note to the recipient.




Thanks for joining me today,I hope you have enjoyed my Faithful Frannie post and girls please join me in a HOPE for the cure. Let us all have FAITH that someday no woman shall face this pain!

  2. This is so awesome...this is also something that I try to spread awareness about. Breast cancer is so bad..I HATE IT. I am proud of you for doing this to join the fight. I have a special friend that needs one of these lovely dolls...I will email you and place an order.
    Thanks for the best pink post.\

  5. What a precious jester. You are too kind and thoughtful. My mom is a two time surviver of cancer and one brother died two years ago from it and another brother was just diagnosed with leukemia two weeks ago. It seems as if its everywhere I turn.
