I have been very busy doing a project for a local breast cancer survivors group. Their colors are pink and green. The fabrics they chose remind me of life and spring!
The project began with a need for 150 items. The need grew to 300+ I have just finished and sent them to the group. Fortunately, they took pictures for me as I sent them out in groups without pictures.
The design comes form one of our own -- dragonflyer. She graciously offered the design and made changes to fit the need. We are all feeling very blessed to have her help.
I am hoping the design will be available when the DBC returns. Until then ... wait patiently.

It's lovely. How kind of you! I'm sure it will be much appreciated. These women really need a lot of support.
We were four together in the ward with mastectomies of a breast, and one woman had a mastectomy of both breasts. We were all treated by the same doctor. The operations were in beginning October 2005, and we saw each other regularly in the doctor's rooms.
In April 2006 (6 months after the operations) these women were still crying (literally crying) when we saw each other in the doctor's rooms. It seems as if breast cancer survivors really struggle to accept their new bodies.
So you are being very kind here. Well done!

Do the increased numbers mean that the treatments are working, therefore more surviving? Or does it mean the doctors are diagnosing more and more victims of this ghastly disease? Lovely job on the little gifts.

It means they told the doctors there would be gifts at the annual meeting...so more patients signed up.
Thanks for the compliment

Thank you Chris.
I think the second picture has all of them. I am afraid I was not there to finish inserting the nail files into the holders or for the photo.
