The Bra

The Cross Timbers scrapbooking group joined together for a good cause. The local scrapbooking store hosted a bra decorating contest to raise money for Breast Cancer Research. The scrapbookers pooled their creativity to make this AWESOME brassiere:

Along with raising "support", the bra was a tribute to many women and one man (they can get it too) who had breast cancer. Here are the names of the loved ones included on the bra:

Alma Latiolais Robin
Sondra Stone
Michael Barnes
Rhonda Harrison
Janice Moseley
Sharon Spohn
Donna Adler
Mildred Zunker
Jackie Fisher
Aunt Dean
Karen Brown
Vicky Leighton
Effie Jennings
Cheryl Mayes
Cherie
Aunt Bitsy
Mary Ramsey
Joan Seymour
Becky Barnett

Reading the names gives me a lump in my throat.

There are 19 total names on our hot pink bra... the sad thing here is that every single one of us knows at least one person who has suffered this disease. On a brighter note, 84% of our loved ones were able to overcome & survive. Those other 16% live on in our hearts & prayers.

The mini-bra that you see in the photo reads:

"This bra was decorated with much prayer & thanksgiving by the members of the scrapbooking group at Cross Timbers Church - Argyle: Tracy Machado, Barbara Johnson, Denise Burns, Sarah McMinn, Ambera Keton, Heidi Garrett and Coeli Wagner. "

Blessings everyone! What fun this project was! Tell your friends to say a little prayer for all of our loved ones....especially those still in the midst of battle.
