Breast Cancer Awareness Ornament

Today, I am showing my handmade breast cancer awareness ornament.

I made this when my friend was first diagnosed with breast cancer. I was not happy with it because it was a little “off,” not quite perfect! I know! Handmade is not supposed to be perfect. I remade one almost identical to this one that sold for $24.95 on eBay. I plan to list it on artfire soon! So check it out!! http://www.artfire.com/users/TrinketsAndDreams

Now onto a different note … I had often wondered how my boys could exercise for 45 minutes to an hour on the elliptical without stopping. Today, I discovered how. But, I’ll get to that. Being forced to move my exercise room into our garage when we moved, I had put off getting going again due to the heat. But, I began my back to school exercise program today as my youngest son trudged off to school and as I realized I had once again peaked at my highest weight. Having gained again everything I had lost, I grabbed my son’s mp3 and headed to the garage. Now, I am not a music person, rarely even listening when I drive in the car. But, I put on those earbuds, pushed play and felt my motivation spike! I pushed through 37 minutes of intervals without much thought. Who would have thought that Skillet could be so motivating! But, now I know!
