Show and Tell Monday at Make Mine Pink!!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! This disease has touched almost everyones life either through a family member or friend. My Mother is a Breast Cancer Survivor! I have designed Greeting Cards to help women remember that early detection is so important. This is the first one in a series. Others will follow soon. Send one to a girl friend or family member to keep in touch and remind them to do monthly self exams and always have an annual Mammogram. It could mean your life!

Thank You,
Inka

Last week, Make Mine Pink had a wonderful Retreat in Williamsburg, Virginia. On a free day my roomie, Patty and I went to Jamestown to see our country's early history. There were two Museums there along with the Indian Village, Fort and docks where the 3 ships brought over the settlers. They also had a 30 min. movie of the story of John Smith and how the Indians helped the settlers survive during rough times. It was all very interesting. Everyone was dressed in period clothing and explained all of our questions. Much fun was had!

Hope you enjoyed your visit with us there.

Show and Tell...On the way to Williamsburg VIA NC






The Make Mine Pink Retreat in Williamsburg, VA was over the top with information, meeting new friends, and goodies!!! Words can not describe all the wonderful things that went on every minute. Joyce Lucas and her family are absolutely the most wonderful folks you will ever meet.

I left on Tuesday to head to North GA to meet my ride, Dianne. We became instant buddies and earned the nick names of Thelma and Louise..Brad Pitt and all!!! We took our time on the journey to Virginia and made some new friends along the way. One of the towns we had many adventures in was Salisbury, NC. Here are a few pictures of the most darling General Store we shopped in.

Oh, you want to hear the rest of the story??? Well let's just say..."What happens in Salisbury, stays in Salisbury" As we journeyed back home through North Carolina, we did notice that there were no billboards with our pics on them!!! Whew...LOL

Enjoy life,
Inka

How much is that Doggie in the Window? Show and Tell Monday





When coming home from work the other day, I found this adorable Pup on the side of the road. He was a friendly fellow waving at everyone that rode by. I asked him where he got his costume and he replied..."I have always had it. It was in my closet". He let me take his picture and I would have loved to have taken him home with me but he already had a great family! They live across the street so I get to see this cutie often. Aren't I blessed? I do love my neigborhood.
