SURPRISE! You're here for ...

Those of you who've been with me since last week have, I'm sure, been wringing your hands and fidgeting while trying to guess today's big announcement!

Well, you made it to the Big Day! You're here for The Pink Ribbon Warrior Women Blog Hop!

Are you a Warrior Woman? Perhaps not, but you definitely know someone who is! It's your mom or your sister or your grandmother or your boyfriend or maybe even a coworker (What? "Boyfriend" confused you? Pink Ribbons stand for everyone who is suffering from or has suffered from breast cancer -- a disease that is especially common among women {thus, Warrior Women}, but does in fact, unfortunately, attack our men, too).

So, we're celebrating the healing journey of our artist friend Sherry Goodloe. She's recovering from her own recent surgery, and has only recently learned that she won't have to endure chemo or radiation! Sherry is our official Warrior Woman Muse for the hop you're now reading about!

She is someone who we love and admire, and so is the prefect person to lead us on this journey to honor those facing a fight against breast cancer: Friends, loved ones or YOU!

Our art is intended to honor each and every person who has, is, or ever will fight this battle.

Please join us at each of our participating blogs, where you'll hopefully find inspiration for your own art. Leave comments everywhere as many of the participating Pink Ribbon Warrior Women blog hostesses also are offering candy.

So, here's where you are and where you're going ... 

Tracy Jacobs (you are Here!)

And, as Linda so aptly puts it, "Our fabulous sponsor is eclectic Paperie!"


So, what are you waiting for? Visit each of the blogs listed above and then head out to create your own artwork to celebrate the Pink Ribbon Warriors!

Share your piece here: Flickr Warrior Women Blog Hop Gallery.

You can dedicate your art to someone specific or many someone specifics, and we'd especially appreciate it if you'd take the time to use the gallery's "Add a Description" field where you can tell us about the person to whom your creation is dedicated!

To be entered into the prize package drawing, you'll need to get your entry in no later than midnight October 30. Our Warrior Woman muse, Sherry, will choose a winner on October 31!

"Winner?" you ask? Why yes! Daisy at eclectic Paperie (hello? our fabulous sponsor!), will send the winner the prize package you see above and, she said, "I'll also include a pail full of assorted Stickles with this. Every girl needs some sparkle and glitter in her stamping arsenal, right?"

Later this week I'll be posting more about my own creation for this Extra Stupendously Super Special Blog Hop ... in the meantime, until midnight October 30, you'll have to guess about the blog candy from This Very Blog Right Here (which you'll only be eligible to win after commenting below and entering your art at Flickr Warrior Women Blog Hop Gallery)!

One final, but very important note: Please, please ensure that you take a second to mark your Warrior Women photo as "Public" on Flickr otherwise we won't be able to ooh and aah over your amazing work! Don't worry, though, making this single piece of art public won't effect any other items you've uploaded on Flickr.

  7. Stunning memory box, beautiful details. All for such a fantastic cause and a blog hop is such a tremendous way to take time out and remember all those fighting the battle against cancer and all those that have won the battle and of course all those that have unfortunately lost the battle. Our thoughts should be with them all. Much love and positive vibes to all those in the middle of the battle. Tracy Evans x

  10. CB, this box is FABULOUS!!! Wow, "treasure" is the right word-- and so are "gorgeous," and "inspiring" and "totally freaking perfect!" I love your art, and I love your words, too. You have a brilliant way with both.

    Can I tell you how thrilled I am to be sharing the Blog Hop Experience with you?? You're a dear friend, and besides that, you're just cool!
