LUFP: Guest Designer Esther

I was honored when Gaby asked me to be a guest designer for Link Up For Pink. 
I knew I wanted to do something extra special because this is a cause that is very dear to my heart.

You see I am a breast cancer survivor myself. It has been 9 years this July since I was diagnosed. I underwent surgery, chemotherapy and took the drug Tamoxifen for 5 years.

Breast Cancer is very scary and it will strike one out of every nine women! Not very good statistics.
I urge you to get your yearly mammograms and do a self exam once a month (I found my lump doing a self exam).
If you are so inclined, make a donation to Susan G Komen Foundation by doing this you help those ladies suffering from cancer as well as funding the research to find a cure!

Please join Gaby, Celeste and Yolie at Link Up For Pink with your pink creation!!!
Here is my project:
