Scrap Pink

Every year in October, Green Tangerines holds a Scrap Pink event. Scrap Pink is a weekend filled with crops, fun give aways, & the opportunity to raise awareness for breast cancer, as well as other forms of cancer. Proceeds from this event are donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Green Tangerines is hosting our Scrap Pink, Scrap-a- licious event this weekend.

I was able to do the make n take with our croppers last night. I had so much fun!Meredith created this darling cupcake album that each attendee was able to create.

She even printed off a few yummy recipes for different kinds of cupcakes that fit inside the album. This girl is SO talented & SUPER sweet. Her mini album was a hit. Way to go Mer!
Meredith also created exclusive t-shirts with our scrap-a-licious logo on them. They turned out really cute, pink & all. After dinner, the ladies were treated to a cupcake bar for dessert. Everyone got to decorate their own treat. Talk about FUN!


While last night was very fun, it also served as a good reminder to help fight the fight when it comes to cancer. Today is my Mother in Laws birthday! She died 11 years ago. She found out, in (late)April of 2007 that she had Ovarian cancer & died 5short weeks later on June 1st 2007. With October being Breast cancer awareness month, I encourage each of you to do your monthly exams & go see your Dr. if something isn't right. Make this month, the month to focus on yourself. Make it the month to take care of YOU. We really are our own best advocates.I have an Aunt & a cousin (mother/daughter)who are breast cancer survivors. I am so glad they fought the fight & are still here today! Aunt Pam is one of those survivors and today is her birthday! I would like to wish her a very special Happy birthday!

We love you!
Have a pink-a-licious day!
