During the Fall there is a concentration on breast cancer awareness. Not too long ago I wrote a blog about the breast cancer fundraiser my mom and cousin founded. Each year the event gets bigger and bigger, it's absolutely amazing what they have created! This fundraiser and event is very close to the hearts of my immediate and extended family, it truly hits home.
I donate a piece of art each year. In the past I have donated a Fall drawing, painting, and my sports hats. This year I wanted to do something different. I decided what would be better than a Shades of Pink vase of flowers!
This painting was put in a nice wooden frame with light green matting. I chose green instead of pink because I wanted to pink flowers to stand out more and really pop. I forgot to take a picture of the completed piece, but I am going to ask the woman who won if she could take a picture for me so I can post it for you to see. When she won my painting she was really excited! It was great seeing her reaction and the smile on her face!
We were all very tired from long night and days getting everything ready but the event was an absolute success! It was so much fun and so many people came out to share the night with us. We are still receiving donations but so far we have already made over $10,000!!
Here are some of the pictures from the event:

This weekend was also the annual Gloria Gemma 5k. We had our own Shades Of Pink team! In spirit of this I made some earrings to match our shirts:
These little ones with the wrapped silver wire are my favorite!
