Hi Bloggers! My name is Tasha. This blog originally started out as a site to show the work of my Grandmother, my Mother, my sister and I to society. All of us are crafty in each own's right and enjoy working and manipulating objects with our hands to create whatever we dream up. BUT, it has become a space I can just jot (or type) down my thoughts and whatever randomness comes up. So... grap a cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa, grap your mouse and browse the site. Find something you really like in the craft showcases? Email us. You just may be able to get a replica or since it's all handmade, something very similar! Oh! Everything that we have crafted on here is made in the USA!!

Angel project

I was asked to make 'special angels' for the church to send out as a symbol that the church is praying for those that were sick or hospitalized or... whatever the need really.  Here are a few of them.  The only specifications were....  Do not stiffen them, and try not to make them over 2 inches....


What do ya'll think?

Basket full of PINK

What in the world could I do for the month of October??  I've been pondering the last few weeks and then it hit me like a big rolling pin to the forehead... DUH!  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! 

Don't know much about Breast Cancer?  Take a moment and click on a few links below.  Educate yourselves, get in the know and become aware of this disease.  Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States aside from skin cancer - but does not just effect women.  Men, you can be stricken with this disease as well.  According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States.

If you're worried about developing breast cancer, or if you know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease, one way to deal with your concerns is to get as much information as possible.  If you, or someone you know, has been recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer, please know there are resources out there that you can lean on for support and help.

In honor and hope of survivors out there and in memory of those who have been taken from us due to this disease, TheGenerationShop has made pins for you to wear.  These pins cost $1 each and can be purchased using your paypal account.  Please, supplies are limited, but purchase a pin or two and show support for the brave 'soldiers' of this disease and honor those who have gone on before...  To those fighting, we say Press On and to those who have won the victory we say March On for those who need to draw from your strength...
 
May God Bless all who read this entry today...
