Picked up for Basic Grey

I submitted to the Basic Grey Gallery for the first time in a long time. So excited that they picked up my "Kindered Spirits" layout for their gallery. Thanks for looking, I noticed a lot of spectacular layouts over there today. I need to go back and look some more. Thanks Basic Grey!

Lost a Great Friend

Wow, it seems like forever since I have posted. We were having problems with our phone lines after heavy rains and storms last week. Then our puppies tore up some lines so I have been without a computer at home for almost a week. I could check in from work but our server blocks blogs so I could not post here. I have been trying to scrap today but kinda in a funk after loosing a great friend. My cat was killed today by our puppies. I don't know if they meant to kill him but he was so old he just couldn't get away. I have had that cat for 16 years. I got him the year before I had my son. He has been with me thru thick and thin. In the past 9 months or so he had stopped going outside, just too old to fight with strays and the such. Today the weather was sunny and warm so he had ventured out to enjoy the day. My dd ran in and told me the puppies had killed him. I could not bare to go out and see. The dh and the kids buried him. I saw the girls picking flowers in the backyard. I know he was old and dying was near, just wish he could have gone off and done it another way. I will miss his character and presence around the house.

I was at Layle Koncar's blog
And this caught my eye.

Such a cool t-shirt with a great message! I have a good friend (Katie) that is going through breast cancer and treatments right now. She finished Chemo in Dec. and is almost thru with radiation. As soon as I saw this shirt, I knew it was for her! She has such a postitive attitude, she is truely remarkable. She is getting her hair back and is so cute!!

Save a Life!!

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is
having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

AGAIN , PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10 TODAY
And, don't forget to bookmark it and go back every day! You could be saving a life!

It literally is as easy as going to that site and clicking on the pink box and that's it. You don't have to fill anything out or anything.

Thanks to Heather for sending this info! It really is nothing but could make a difference in someones life.
