Fun Fridays – The Story of the Hot Pink Boots!

May 27, 2016May 27, 2016Leave a comment

Well these are not my color since I don’t do pink! Justice for a Cure and Breast Cancer Recovery hosted an alumni retreat a few months ago which I attended. The pink boots were there too.

Challenge by Choice is always a component at retreat and this time, it was line dancing! The Dairyland Dancers entertained us and then invited us to learn a routine. One of the dancers wore these boots and then donated them to BCR. They were spontaneously auctioned and Jane had the winning bid! She donated them back to BCR and they made it to the auction table at Party with a View this week which was held at Blackhawk Country Club.

I was tickled to see my auction donation right beside the boots. My good friend Karen won my Paper Pumpkin Night Out. Emily said she would join us. Yahooo!

Here is why it was called Party with a View. We had a great view overlooking the golf course and the lake. Our Tibetan Flags enjoyed a very nice sunset!

I am hosting a paper crafting fundraiser to benefit BCR on June 9th. Find the details here Cards for a Cause to benefit Breast Cancer Recovery Contact me if you want to join us!

Thanks for enjoying the hot pink boots with me today!

Many Manly Occasions

Designs with flowers, buttons and bows are easy for me. Cards with geometric shapes and patterns that would appeal to those not interested in flowers takes a little more design time.

Paper Pumpkin must have been thinking of me because the Many Manly Occasions May kit arrived with an easy DIY design. I brought the kit along in case we had time while visiting with family to create.

Sara, Jim’s niece, created this card for her Dad…That’s Jim on the right side of the photo.

Cathy, Sara’s Mom, created this card:

If you know Cathy, you might be receiving her birthday card!
