After many requests for a "cancer/cancer awareness kit" I decided it was perfect time to create it after the team 2 swatch was chosen. I have to say that Thinking Pink is really really close to my heart and timing to create it was perfect for me.
During the month of March over the years I have lost 4 very important woman in my life to their battle with Cancer. These woman not only changed my life with their "strength and humility", their unselfish love for those closest to them.. but most of all "for their love of each moment/day" given to them as a they saw.. a gift.
In our hectic busy lives we so easily forget just how precious each day and moment can be, how much joy a wonderful laugh with a friend, child, family member can be. How spending a little time enjoying the ones we love makes life just so much more worthwhile.
As my sister-in-law Bev once said to me "Kimmy, grab each day by the horns, don't miss a thing." ... I do forget that sometimes but I think that on the whole she would love my crazy life and would be dancing right next to me on the tables of life.
In memory of these amazingly strong woman who I loved dearly:
Sheila Lambert (lost the fight to Breast Cancer), Marion Verduyn (lost the fight to Leukaemia), Beverly Robertson- nee Broedelet (lost the fight to a brain tumour), Betty (Elizabeth) Broedelet (lost the fight to Breast Cancer):

And just WOW, as you can see by the fantastic inspiration below that this kit has created some of my most favourite layouts done by my Creative Team. I think it's because most come from the "heart"... and they touched mine ;-)

Its a Breath taking kit ...THANK YOU ;~} for creating it and for sharing the BEAUTIFUL alpha ..
Fabulous kit, Kim! The kit is a "must have" - my mother died in 1998 of pulmonary fibrosis - and i have known anyone with more courage, strength, kindness ever, than my mother. She bore the pain of this terrible disease with fortitude, never losing her sweet & gentle spirit, nor her thoughtfulness. It was a joy to serve her during her final illness. This kit and the word art is perfect for scrapping the heroines of our lives! Thank you for the lovely alpha!
Thank you for the beautiful kit and alpha. I am currently recovering from 14 surgeries and 22 rounds of chemo! I have to get a little braver to scrap those bald pics...but thinking about it now.
Awesome and blessings to you and many thanks ,hugs Nana Kat
