Ok... so lets kick off this Blog Marathon... I can't wait to go check out the rest of the ladies blogs to see their creations with the goodies from the New Mini Catalogue.
First up... please forgive the darkness of the photo's... the weather here is not nice at all... we have rain this morning and we all know that with rain comes dark clouds, which means poor lighting for Photo's :(

A couple of photo's of the set!
I decided on the Strength & Hope Stamp Set in Basic Black & Pirouette Pink because this set is Stampin' Up's Charity Set, for every set sold they will donate £1 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation... this set is so close to everyone's heart as ther is no-one I know that hasn't been touched at some point in their lives by this! This set will be used quite a lot by myself and i'm hoping all my customers & future customers will also help in our aid... It's quite close to my heart as I have lost relatives and many friends to this... I have a Dear Dear Friend going through it at this moment in time... I will be matching Stampin' Up's contribution for every set I sell and the donations will be going to St Gemma's Hospice as they do an amzing job of looking after everyone. I know we have to raise money towards finding a cure but we also need to give those going through it to help in getting them better care too! St Gemma's was there for my relative's and many of my friend's relatives... we need to give them our support to help keep them going! I would love to do Race for Life but I am personally not fit enough this year so this will be my contribution as well as my Hugs in Mugs (that's for another post) towards it... I hope you will all help me in the journey to raise some pennies for both sides... so please purchase this set!
