To me, October ushers in the "holiday season," starting with fall, my hubby's birthday on Oct. 11, Halloween...then all of our November birthdays, Thanksgiving...and before ya know it, CHRISTMAS!! Woo-hoo! Oh, I said that already.
If you don't already know, I ADORE fall. With my "all-day sickness" and severe lack of energy, I haven't done much crafting lately but I really, really want to! Nothing like new paper to inspire me to create...so I ordered some new yumminess from
Jane Says on Etsy
Check out her shop, it's a treasure trove of lovliness! And she's super-nice!! :)
"Urban Prairie" card stock, white on the back and perfect for easy cards...
Classic K Bailey (double-sided card stock--yeah!) for tags or other goodies...
...and this huge pile of fall paper to make invitations to my up-coming "Crafternoon."
October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is near and dear to my heart because my mom is a 12-year breast cancer survivor!
Check out these sites to donate or for support:
Susan G. Komen For the Cure
Ford Warriors in Pink
American Cancer Society
And there's a lot of companies that support the cause, too, by donating the proceeds of their products to the above-mentioned organizations.
Avon is a long-time supporter and has this $8 bear...
...and this pin (one of my favorites) for $3.

Pier 1 is on the bandwagon, too, with this reed diffuser and candle, each for $15, with 25% of the proceeds going to Susan G. Komen.

There are lots of cancer walks in the fall, too, so be on the lookout for ones in your community!
I'm thinking I need to whip up some pink cards for a giveaway...stay tuned! :)
P.S. This blog has reached 4,000 hits (since I started counting)!! Woo-hoo again!! And THANKS!
