I have been published………well sort of :)
hey everyone,
I have been sitting on this news for the past week or so, waiting for Louise to get back from holidays, as I didn’t want the suprise to be spoilt for her, if she just happend to read my blog before I got to chat to her!
So much to my delight and amazement, my story about the Stamp-a-thon’s I have done to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation has been published in this months edition of Scrapbook creations.
Who would have thought that the fun day would later be shared with so many and told in this great magazine!
Here is the front cover:
and then the two page spread……
I think the story really depicts the two Stamp-a-thons that we have done in the past two years, and of course it was so wonderful to have Louise with us there on the day as well!
You can read more about the Stamp-a-thon Here, and of course read more about Louise, and my story Here.
Well it will be Stamp-a-thon time again really soon, so you will have to keep the 1st of August free to come along and join in on the fun, and not to mention hopefully raise more $$$$ for the NBCF!
Just had to share this fun news with you all :)
CONGRATULATIONS Keesh!! Great job and soo well deserved. Breast Cancer has touched 3 close friends so let me know if there’s anything I can offer for your next campaign - I’d love to help out!! I spent many hours doing crossword puzzles with my friend while the chemo drugs dripped into her arm - it’s a rotten disease that affects way too many women. Of course I wish I could come along - but unless your running it in Melbourne that may be a little tricky!!

Fantastic Keesh, well deserved and WOW you and Louise are both now famous. Count on me being there again, is was so much fun and for a great Foundation.
Hugs

Congrats Keesh, well deserved.
PS Also have to say, I just signed up to be a demonstrator (finally took the plunge) & just ordered all my goodies. Can’t wait to play. You are such a huge inspiration (although your talent is a bit daunting to us mere mortals).

Fantastic Keesh! You are such a generous person in so many ways, with your time, your friendship, your gorgeous work. I am so honoured to be your friend and thank God that SU brought us together! Anything that can be done to raise awareness is wonderful and your support and friendship through my illness was and still is amazing. To initiate the Stamp-a-thon for Breast Cancer is just another example of your never ending dedication to your friends. You are an inspiration! Love ya!
