Being indecisive is one of my best traits. Lets celebrate! I have finally decided on THE new project. I am excited, inspired and ready.
Mahalo to my dearest and best friends…..gathering ideas has been wonderful.
Love you beyond……

Pink And Protein
Breast Cancer fact: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers.
***
Yesterday, between conference calls and reports, at lunch, Larry, Pink and I went to the blood donation center. Larry gives double reds twice a year. Yesterday was the day. I cannot give blood.
When Larry donates, we never know what will happen. He gets ill, passes out, or various other interesting things happen.
That is why, whenever he gives blood, double reds, we go and have a hamburger after. Even if he does not want it, this is what we do. The protein seems to help him very much.
Today before he went to work, Larry and I walked our laps at the lake. He seems fine. {for now} It is Friday and I am glad. It is going to be a busy weekend, but one filled with special people.
I wish you a wonderful weekend too.
Love you beyond special moments.
Me.
A Red Hat
Breast Cancer fact: This year, an estimated 41,760 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S.
I hated sharing the above fact with you. There is one way to change that number. Have your yearly screenings.

Today is going to be hot…again. My afternoon is super busy but this morning is just for me. {Larry is in Dallas}
Since I finished Lauren’s Christmas gift, {don’t worry about me mentioning her gift. She never reads ze blog} I am starting on my Halloween costume. We have a few events that I wear a costume to and waiting till the last minute drives me mad. Besides. I love how happy people are around Halloween.
Today is “Hat Day” using the pattern shown. The hat I am making is the view on the bottom left. The hat will be red, lined in dots.
It was a coincidence that I chose the dot fabric. It matches the boots I bought weeks ago!
Will you celebrate Halloween this year? {I dislike when people say that they do not celebrate Halloween because it is an evil holiday. Halloween can be anything YOU want it to be. Please don’t use the excuse evil….because, if your heart is true, you can do anything} My plan is to make people smile this year! Last year I had the same plan. BUT I tried on a huge costume head at the market to make Larry laugh. For my reward and trying on that huge head, I got my very first case of pink eye. Go figure. Sixty four years old and getting pink eye for the first time The fun thing is, I can still hear Larry laugh when I tried on the costume head!
My sewing machine has brand new red thread threaded in it and I am off to make a hat! I have never made a hat like this before. Stay tuned!
Please make today, whatever you want it to be.
Love you beyond Pink and tulle,
Me
Team Believe 2019
These are the names who will be carried next to my heart during the Komen Race For The Cure,
I will be adding: Larry Tolbert, Jami and Jared, Lauren Josh and Matilda to this list. There are not enough words to thank you all. I do not know what I would do without you.
Pink surrounded us
and strength grew with each breath.
You are the pink that stirred
the positive karma that restored health.
Healing comes in all forms,
rejoice in the journey.
Love you beyond the moon.

Team Believe/Thinking Pink
http://www.info-komen.org/site/TR?fr_id=7500&pg=personal&px=18846402
Yesterday, I registered My Larry and myself for the 2019 Komen North Texas Race. It will be held at “The Star” in Frisco, Texas on May 18, 2019. This is my annual renewal of dedication & promise and to encourage “Early Detection”…plus a 5K. Please find the link to my Komen page above.
I honestly don’t know if I will auction/raffle anything off this year. My thinking cap has been on strike some time now. All suggestions are welcome. {Please}
Excuse the wrinkles, but I dug an old Team Believe shirt out of the closet this morning. The new Team believe shirts will be much like this one, but a little different. They will be available to order {from the T-shirt Company} in a few weeks. I will let you know the details after the prototypes are complete.
The Photo below is of the back of the vintage Tee. This is my original design and I entered it into a contest years ago. I did not win, but the people who sponsored the contest decided to use the design and profit from my work. I know that entering a contest relinquishes my copyright but…crap. I just hate when that happens.
Please support finding a cure for breast cancer by a donation, prayers , walking the 5K with Team Believe {or any team} and by having your annual mammogram.
If perhaps you are going through this difficult disease, I am always here to help.. Email me at: [email protected]
A forever thank you goes to my friends who have been such an amazing support during treatment and even now. I love and adore you all.
Love you beyond the pink.

High Tea
One week ago,
Larry and I were in London at Kensington Palace, having tea.
It was a lovely way to celebrate this time of our lives.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time
to support me and my journey.
Last week during tea,
we toasted EVERYONE.
Including you.
Beautiful, beautiful life…..
Love you more than candy.
