I want to apologize for this slipping my mind but I wanted to post here about the recent Pink Party that I had! Yes, that's right, a Pink Party :o) What's that you ask? Well, it's a celebration of being breast cancer free and for me it's been eight years!

This was loads of fun but also physically and mentally exhausting. To read more about my party and see some pictures, please visit my Blog :o)

Pink Tree and Tuck

Terri gave us this pattern back in December and here is mine all stitched up. I stitched a small butterfly from DMC for the tuck I won.

A First!

I put together my very first beaded fob today! I'm quite happy with the results :o)

Now, I just need to find some more breast cancer charms....

The 3 Day

I found this to be a very interesting way of getting involved in Breast Cancer Support and Fundraising.

Beyond Magazine

I'm not sure if everyone remembers me mentioning the magazine called Beyond. It's 100% dedicated to breast cancer issues and the articles are very inspiring and chalk full of information.

Well, I found out a few weeks ago that they will be on hiatus until 2009 :o( I was already looking for the spring issue but alas, it will not be there.

I'm not sure the reasoning for this but was told that sales weren't as high as they expected. But I never noticed the magazine until I saw it on the magazine stand so I think they really need to do some good PR work because I'm sure it would be a hit.

So next spring, take a look at the magazine stand and see if you can spot Beyond and either buy it or buy it for someone you know with breast cancer. My whole family has read every issue so far!

Peace Love and a Cure - Lizzie*Kate

Go Red For Women

Write a Note for Hope

Let me prefix this with some history. I am a nut about how pens feel when I write with them. When I was purchasing school supplies for the past couple semesters my school bookstore has been selling Paper mate pens that are pink (Write for Hope pens) and some of the proceeds go towards a cure for cancer.

When I join the group - I mentioned it to Kim and the thought came to me ...write Paper mate and thank them. Which I did today and found....

Write a Note for Hope. You write a short note and submit it to the website and enter into a chance to be awarded $500 to be donated in a person's name & the money goes to support City of Hope - to help find a cure towards breast cancer.

Wanted to share!

Plus for every pen and eraser sold in 2008 - 10 cents is donated until they reach $200,000.

Grab a pink pen and start Writing a Note for Hope!

Free Quilt Pattern, great for Cross Stitch Designs

Received this email from Michelle -

Hi Kim, I'm up late shopping for quilt fabric and came across a free Quilt Pink quilt pattern at Moda Fabrics. http://www.unitednotions.com/fp_quilt-pink-2.pdf

I immediately thought of Stitch Pink! I don't know if this would be of interest to anyone (other than me) reading Stitch Pink so I wanted to check with you before I posted it... or if you want to post it... or whatever. I think it's just darling. I also think the quilted blocks would look great with cross stitched blocks alternating, checkerboard style, too.

Let me know what you think. :) Thanks! MIchelle

Thanks for the info Michelle! I agree would be great as a cross stitched designs with a quilted twist.

Breast Cancer Freebie Finish

I just received this email from Leigh...

Kris and Kim,

I was directed to the Stitch Pink blog by a stitching friend. I am very glad for it. I downloaded Kris's breast cancer freebie, not knowing if I'd ever stitch it.

Shortly thereafter, I got a Christmas card from some dear friends. We found out that my friend * (poster asked that the name be left out for public posting) had recently overcome breast cancer. He is one of the very lucky men who found it at stage 1 and was able to be treated quickly. Most men die, because their breast cancer is usually found until after the cancer has metastasized.

Well - I knew exactly what to do with my freebie. I adapted it to be in blue and pink (since he's a guy).

I hope you like my version. Feel free to post this adaptation.

Thank you for the project.
Leigh

Thanks Leigh! What a wonderful tribute to your friend! Please give him a hug for us! ~Kim~

Remembering Angie...

If you have some memories to share of Angie, please post to the blog, or please email me, and I will post them for you.

I know others have expressed their interest in leaving a post, but it was going to be a couple of days.

Angie....

I posted this on my personal blog and Kim asked me if I would also like to also post it here:

This is a pic of my friend Angie. Although we never met in person, we had become very good email, IM & phone friends. When I 'met' Angie she was going through treatment for breast cancer. She lived with her son in Maryland, away from her family. We had already planned to meet in Chicago when she passed through on the Amtrak train to visit her family in Alabama. Angie beat the breast cancer and was going back to work and getting on with her life. Just a few short months later they discovered the cancer was back, this time in her liver. Angie's mom and sister came to MD to get her and bring her back to Alabama with them. I didn't hear much from Angie after that. She did tell me that the doctors were pretty sure the cancer had spread and gave her about 6 months. We talked on the phone a few times and I figured she was busy with her family. Angie had a new niece (in the pic) and a nephew that she just couldn't get enough of. I tried to call her twice about a month ago but I just got her voice mail. I really wish she would have answered the phone. The cancer spread to her back and lungs and Angie lost the fight last Saturday (Dec. 29th) at 12:50 PM. Her family says she was determined to make it through Christmas and was able to sit with the family that day. She did tell another friend that she wouldn't see 2008. She was right. :o( I miss you a lot already Angie. I hope you are in Heaven teaching all the angels to cross stitch. Hopefully you took some of that stitching stash with you. :o)
Goodbye my friend. I'll think of you everyday. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}Elaine

Also, Angie was only in her late 30's. :o(

To print out the chart - what you can do is, click on picture to open it up, into a new window. Right click on the picture, and select - Save Picture As. Select the file you would like to save the picture. Then click on Save. Then you will need to go and find your picture, and print it out. :) I'm not sure if this design will print out straight from the webpage, do to its size.

Tim Tam - Pink Wish

Viv sent me an email with this delicious treat on it! Thanks Viv!

Hi Kim!

I'm one of those who read your blog regularly and in the spirit of the Breast Cancer month of October, I'd like to share with you a pic of a pink Tim Tam that is being sold here in Western Australia. Part of the proceeds (10 cents) of this product goes to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The Pink Wish Tim Tam has a strawberry filling and the chocolate and strawberry combination sure is yummy. Hubby and I love them and since it also supports a very good cause, we have been buying several of these.

Enjoy!

Best regards,

Viv

This is a popular jewelry company down here and all over really. I got their bracelet last year and hope to get this one, it's just taking me longer this month due to everything that's been going on. The bracelets usually run around $50, that's why. They are gorgeous though. This year they've added a necklace and earrings too. Thought you may want to link the website to your page. Although you can't shop off the website they do have a retail search page for every state.
