I've been trying to think of a way to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I finally hit on something that I think might benefit all of us! First of all, since I'm dealing with this on a personal level, I encourage you all to get your yearly tests whatever they might be. Mammogram, sonogram, MRI...whichever way you choose, please pay attention and do your own monthly exam also. I found mine purely by accident while having my yearly mammogram. My tumors were found when they were too small to feel, and if the person reading the tests not been at her best, they would have been missed! I'm growing as a person on my journey here, but it isn't easy and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. So please, take care of yourself! In the long run, it's your way of showing your love to others because they want you here on this planet as long as possible too! *climbing down off my soapbox*
Ok, here's the deal. The picture above is what I'm giving away ... a chart and a pair of scissors with a fob attached (with a hummingbird charm!). I'm also going to post a picture below of my cat Thomas (though it looks mostly like a box LOL). If you want to win the giveaway, you must post a caption for the picture of Thomas in a comment under this post. Please include your e-mail address so I can contact the winner. On Friday, October 29th, my son will choose a name out of a hat. I chose this particular chart because part of the proceeds went to breast cancer research. I actually bought two charts, but decided I wanted to keep one and make it for some "sistas" (said with a Brooklyn accent) who are traveling this journey with me, so that's why you won't see the picture here. Maybe next year I'll be giving that one away. Now I know that some of you may not be able to post a comment here. So if you can e-mail your comment to me at tickledpinkone@gmail.com . I don't want to leave anyone out! So here are the pictures. It's meant to be fun...so have fun! If you give your permission, I'll post the captions in a blog entry after the contest is over. And don't forget to get your yearly exams.

You shouldn't have left the chicken on the countertop - how did I know it was for your dinner?
Wholeheartedly agree about mammograms - had mine a couple of weeks ago. Don't put me in the drawing, love, I don't need another chart right now, lol, but had to put some rather defensive words in Thomas' mouth!

Proudly owned by one 3-legged cat (shhh, he doesn't know) and had my mammogram last month. :)
Just breath, Thomas!
He is so cute. I just love cats they are so elegant.
Glad you are feeling better. I don't have to feel guilty cause I had my mammogram done this year and all was well.
Please enter me in your giveaway I would love to win the beautiful chart.

I have done a little research and it seems that Tabby cats love, love, love boxes. I had one cat, Knee-Hi, and she would jump into any size box even if her big butt didn't fit ~ that was not going to stop her. I have talked to many people and theirs do the same thing ~ give them a box and they are in it.
Cheers ~

Love the photo of Thomas. Kind of looks like he is checking things out to see if it is safe. But I know that cats adore boxes of any size. :)
Don't enter me in your giveaway. I have that pattern too. :) Just know that you )and all of the "sistas") are in my thoughts and prayers.
