    Default Fabulous Friday Frantics

    Good morning girls: Today is going to start a series called "Fabulous Friday Frantics".
    This month is Breast Cancer Awareness. Apparently there is a facebook contest going around for the month of October. Last year it was for bra color. This year it is along the line of making a man guess why you are 8 weeks and craving starburst (child's thing). Well, I am 12 weeks and craving Gummy Bears. Like that is possible at my age and physical condition. So as a starter to commend those couragous women out there who have survived or going thru such a tragic thing, here it is:

    January = 1 week
    February = 2 weeks
    March = 3 weeks
    April = 4 weeks
    May = 6 weeks
    June = 8 weeks
    July = 10 weeks
    August = 12 weeks
    September = 13 weeks
    October = 14 weeks
    November = 16 weeks
    December = 18 weeks
    Days of Month:
    1 - skittles
    2 - Starburst
    3 - Kit Kat
    4 - M&Ms
    5 - galazy
    6 - Crunchie
    7 - Dairy Milk
    8 - Lollipop
    9 - Peanut Butter Cups
    10 - Meat Balls
    11 - Twizzlers
    12 - Bubble Gum
    13 - Hershey's Kisses
    14 - Chocolate Mints
    15 - Twix
    16 - Reeses's Fastbreak
    17 - Fudge
    18 - Cherry Jello
    19 - Milky Way
    20 - Pickles
    21 - Creme Eggs
    22 - Laffy Taffy
    23 - Gummy Bears
    24 - Gummy Worms
    25 - Strawberry Pop Tarts
    26 - Starburst
    27 - Mini Eggs
    28 - Kit Kat Chunkie
    29 - Double Chocolate Chip Crunchy Cookies
    30 - Chocolate Cake
    31 - Smarties
    This is in support of breast cancer awareness Month. So post what you are and we can all guess your birthday.
    Look forward to next weeks wonderful Friday Frantic.

    Thanks Cindy, and QuilterMomma. I am soooo happy to have lost the weight. I lost 10.8 lbs. With my doctor putting me on a diet, besides my already on one, and lowering my salt, I guess that helped more than I thought. Even though I love the batiks too like all of you, I have to admit to a little secret. I LOVE florals. I guess because of how much I love working with flowers, so I am one happy person. I will be able to make lots of plans now for so many pretty things to sew. I am doing the happy dance!

    Congratulations JuneBillie. That is awesome. Enjoy your winnings. I am taking a class tomorrow that is miniature paper piecing. It is supposed to be a new easier method of PP. I plan to use the batiks I won on this project.
    I am 13 weeks and craving bubblegum. (it should have been something chocolate)

    So my 17 yr old son just told me that he cut out snacks this week and lost 8 lbs. A little envious here. He wrestles and is working on increasing strength and endurance. After wrestling season he plays rugby.

    My hair dresser told me she keeps a package of fresh spinach in her freezer and crumbles it over different dishes during the week. I may have mentioned this before. I have a package in the freezer and am going to try it with some vegetable stew I made.

    I'm in again and will send my fat quarter asap.
