Celebrate: Live Long and Prosper

This week is a celebration week: not a celebration because Australia Post has decided to keep a parcel of mine in one of its detention centres at Sunshine west for, undoubtedly, the foreseeable future being scanned in and in and in for ever and a day, NO! no celebration for that. I am celebrating because after 6 years I have received the all clear : all the tests results and the cancer markers that have previously flooded my body, have come back clear !


I am relieved and so happy to put this huge chapter in my life behind me..well, not really behind me..I will never ever forget! Once anybody has been diagnosed with cancer, the experience stays with you. It is such a big verdict to receive and to live with, that it will change your life and your views on life forever. It will make you stronger. It will change you...Forever. No matter what the outcome is.

I have been given a clean bill of health and I am happy. I know so many of my dear friends, young and old, who are still fighting. So, this blog update is not only a celebration, but also a big hug for all of my friends and everybody out there, going through treatments and hoping and fighting.

For you, my friends, I will always keep fighting alongside you. I am there with you , I am still one of you. So, this update I am offering celebration Batts and fibres and happy rainbow yarn. From all sales a percentage will be donated to the Cancer Foundation to help fund Cancer research and for all of you who buy, I will include a precious gift as well. Everybody wins. Everybody can celebrate !
Happy Snaffling ! Celebrate Life! Smile each and every day even if it is an annoying or painful one. Your smile and laughter will defeat any negativity and will help you cope so much better with anything that is thrown at you. Happy crafting, happy creating and happy thoughts to you all.

Now, I won’t keep you waiting for this update for too long…
Big hugs and to all RABBIT ON !!!
