What can I say?
I like boobs. I mean,
who doesn't, right? They're magical. They are pretty, they feel nice, and they TOTALLY MAKE BABY FOOD for
baby geniuses.
Know what I don't like? Breast cancer. I'm not particularly fond of breast cancer. I'm not good with numbers, but the CDC website presents some scary graphs and statistics. And the point is clear:
breast cancer kills too many women and affects too many lives for us to not talk about boobs.
There are very few times I wish that I had a big bag of cash in my corner: when there's a new line of Japanese fabric released or when I want to donate to a cause I believe in. If I was looking to be muy rica, I'd have chosen a different job. I love what I do and wouldn't trade it for the world... but when friends of mine are walking the
Breast Cancer three-day, my heart breaks to find myself unable to donate money to the cause (because I have to eat).
So I spent a good long time thinking about how I might be able to help out. The weekend of September 11-13, I will be donating 10% of my sales to the Breast Cancer 3-Day. I will also have a few special items with a 100% net profit donation to the same organization. 10% may not seem like much, but it's what I can give. Maybe if it doesn't seem like enough, you'll
donate directly in the name of my friend, Mylynka Kilgore.
Another bonus? I'll be offering free shipping on all pouches, wallets, aprons, and comp books during those three days to encourage that 10% to grow as much as possible. Tomorrow night, I'll be putting up a special section of these items along with the "PINK" 100% net profit donation items. I hope that you'll help me donate to this important cause or find a way to become involved, yourself.
