CopicOz's Think Pink Challenge.....

This month is breast cancer awareness month and I am actually going in for my very first mammogram next week because I turned 40....... The cancer cause is very near and dear to my heart as it effects my family so greatly....... I have had 2 aunts who have had breast cancer, both survived, but unfortunately my 1 aunt died from ovarian cancer........ because of this and having a scare myself when I was 26, I was adamant about going to get a mammogram but believe it or not my doctor refused, even after my history.... did I mention that everyone in my family who has passed away has had cancer??? I pretty much know my fate but that is not going to stop from taking every single effort to make sure that I am ok....... so I've only been 40 for a week in half...... I could not wait to make an appointment....... anyhow.....
It has been a while since I have entered a card into a challenge..... and on this particular set off I feel like I accomplished SO MUCH more than I ever did on my 2 weeks vacation. I had inked this cutie pie, Tiddly Inks Wryn Spring Bling yesterday.... I then saw that there was a Think Pink challenge on Copic Oz's blog...... and thought..... it was SO PERFECT...... you be the judge......

  1. Oh Nikki your card is so adorable. I love the image you used and absolutely love her pink hair. So glad to hear you are having a mammogram soon. I just celebrated my six year anniversary from battling breast cancer. So happy to have found your blog and just had to become your newest flower. By the way your coloring is amazing.

    Hugs and smiles
