October is really near to my heart. Not only is it breast cancer awareness month, but also my mom's birthday month. Unfortunately, she lost her battle with breast cancer, but who knows, maybe some day no one will. Used my new quote books from DCWV with the computer. The hearts behind the quote are stamped off once.
If you don't get yourself checked or do your mammos, better do it and don't say it won't happen to me. Mom died 5mos before her 43rd birthday. It can happen.

R - Great card design, and great reminder for us all! I just bought a "t" from komen.org; it says "Check yourself on the front. Pat yourself on the back." VERY cute reminder as well.
