BOOBIES – Hug them-Love them-Save them
April 4, 2008 in Current Affairs, Well-Being
We’re so proud of our Boobies and so glad to have them! We all jumped at the chance to show them off. The saying on our t-shirts says
“BOOBIES – Hug them-Love them-Save them”
We’re wearing them in support of “Race for the Cure” on April 20 here in Spokane. Our Monica (center in photos) put a team together to walk the race, but she didn’t stop there. She and her team (Team GiGi) have created these t-shirts, tanks, necklaces, buttons & bumper stickers to raise additional funds. 
All proceeds taken in will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Monica, in shock by her Mother’s recent diagnosis of Breast Cancer was inspired to raise money for 
Breast Cancer research and awareness as a way to feel like there was something she could do to make a difference. The good news is that her Mom (who goes by the nickname, Gigi) recently finished chemotherapy and is doing very well. We, here at DM Studio are very proud and inspired by Monica for being proactive and also for using just the right touch of gentle humor to deal with a scary diagnosis. So many of us have experienced a family member or friend who has dealt with the devastation of Breast Cancer and/or live with the fear of negative results from a Mammogram. My mother very bravely dealt with this diagnosis 5 years ago. It was a mammogram that revealed her cancer. 
The good news is that it was caught early which made the prognosis as well as the treatment a little less traumatic. So remember the slogan, “BOOBIES – Hug them-Love them-Save them” and do your exams and get your Mammograms. Check out this link if you’d like to support Team GiGi or get a t-shirt. Grace and Blessings to all who have suffered.

What an awesome idea! I hope your fund raiser goes BIG! Woohoo!! About 4 years ago I lost two dear friends to breast Cancer, within 2 months of each other....The one thing they both said is "Get those mammies done and early detection can save your life!" Thanks girls for keeping the candle lit!

Tilda - I'm sorry to hear about the loss of both your friends. What a shock to lose two friends so close in time. It's a wake up call that this is serious business. Debbie

Great recycling ideas for the calendar pages...they are too good to throw away. One year, I took a great Santa Claus and decoupaged it to a painter's canvas (8 x 10) and painted all around it and stenciled "believe" on the bottom. It was darling if I do say so myself.
Thanks,
Charlotte
