4 years from Diagnosis!!!

Basket Lady — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 20:39:00 GMT

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....

New Years 2010!

Basket Lady — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 12:18:00 GMT

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

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Basket Lady — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:49:00 GMT

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!
