During this wonderful season of miracles and resurrection, I am blessed to celebrate my 4 years from diagnosis today!

Awesome that I have no "new" cancer news to share...I have met so many wonderful people on my journey, some who unfortunately are no longer with us, and I know again how blessed I am.

Remember the reason for the season and thank you for all your prayers.

I will update (hopefully) on my 4 years from surgery versary, which really means 4 years NED...no evidence of disease - woo-hoo!!!!!!!

Love to you all....

Well, the hunt is on for a trailer! We are looking for a trailer to live in temporarily while we renovate, AND one for Caring Baskets. We need one that is gutted for the baskets and then be customized. Let us know if you have any ideas or know anyone that is selling!

Every day when I look into my children's eyes I see their eagerness and innocence of life. They live life! I can learn from them....evey day is a blessing and I am grateful for how rich in life I am....

Caring Baskets is going to hit the road! We are looking for a used trailer, rv or/motorhome to transport our wonderful products...if you have one or know of one that someone is selling or even willing to donate, please let us know!!! Our mission is truly one to help those undergoing cancer treatments or for their caregivers...we will be contacting hospitals and cancer centers in hopes they will understand the importance or our mission!

Well, last night I met met Kristin Hannah, author of Firefly Lane, Winter Garden and many more fabulous books! Her mother passed away of IBC about 18 years ago and she is now advocating too Always nice to meet other advocates...her website is http://www.kristinhannah.com

Check out her book Firefly Lane...this is the book that she talks about IBC...you go Kristin! The more voices we have the stronger we are.

New product pictures coming soon...

It is now January 3, 2010...I feel so very thankful to actually have made it to see another News Year Eve/Day! When first diagnosed I was very scared that I wouldn't live to see 2009, yet I'm here in 2010. So very grateful that I'm here, grateful that I've had the opportunity to spend more time with my kids (and hopefully have some positive influence!), my family and friends and help other cancer patients through Caring Baskets.

So the kids go back to school tomorrow - too bad!  I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them! We have played many board games, played the Wii and just hung out as a family...does it get any better than that? Room service maybe

I have done a lot of product research for Caring Baskets By Design....new items coming soon.

My resolution for this year is to cut coupons and actually use them! It is definitely time consuming, but worth it I'm sure. Any suggestions, feel free to post them here so everyone can benefit! Well, I'm gonna get clipping...it's Sunday and that means new coupon inserts...

Love, Peggy

Good News...Governor Granholm has passed a Proclamation in Michigan ~ the first week of October is dedicated to Inflammatory Breast Cancer! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so it naturally fits. What doesn't fit is Inflammatory Breast Cancer or IBC. This disease is nasty! Please watch for changes in your breasts and INSIST on a biopsy...IBC doesn't show up on a mammogram or ultrasound...be persistent! Please see www.caringbasketsbydesign.com for my story.Also, the baskets are wonderful for anyone undergoing treatment or if you just want to use all-natural products!

Please help us educate others on this disease! A portion of purchases will go to an IBC patient.

Please check us out!

Any questions...call us!
