love thursday

i know i talked about her a couple of weeks ago....but she is finished....

and just wanted to share the love!

"Her name is "Love Squared."
She wears 180 two inch art squares.
She is just under 40" tall
and weighs 6 pounds and 2 ounces.
She smiles because already she knows love
and is able to give love unconditionally.
To many, she is a symbol of hope.
She stands for COURAGE and was built
by a community of givers.

our beloved doll is currently being wrapped,
carefully packed for her journey to Art Doll Quarterly™."

she will then be auctioned on eBay, and proceeds will benefit

susan g. komen for the cure

monica made a dedication of this doll to several on her blog

and asked us to do the same....

and to

"live life beautifully"

there are several i would love to dedicate this effort to:

~jill, my cousin who is going through chemo for breast cancer

~deena, my blog friend, who is going throught chemo for stage 4 breast cancer

~kathy, a wonderful friend of Cassie's....who has just found out she has breast cancer

and since my involvement with this project was influenced greatly by my

involvement with the breast cancer 3-Day

and susan g. komen for the cure,

i would also love to mention

my daughters and husband.....who always encourage me in new efforts

cory and jessamyn, who started our family on this susan g. komen journey

my dad for support

aunt vonda, for support and who is a breast cancer survivor

my sister-in-law, karen, who worked tirelessly to make sure we made our goals

and my dear brother, ken ,my walking partner in the 3-Day

and last, but not least,

my mother, juanita pearl

for being a cancer survivor

and being the inspiration for

"team juanita" & "juanita's kids"

i only wish she knew how far reaching her life has been
