Turban Scarves for Women’s Hair Loss

Back in 2006, when I had cancer, I lost my hair. This is an occurrence that happens to many women, and men too.

I’m not the type of person to wear a wig. So I decided to find something else to wear that would look attractive, be easy to use, and keep my head warm. I [...]

My Favorite Shop – The Taffy Box

A feature on my blog is to tell you about one of my favorite shops. I have a shop on Etsy and over time, as I find items that I like, and want to see more by that artist, I ‘Heart’ the shop – marking them as a favorite. This gives me to chance to [...]

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Being a cancer survivor myself, I wanted to bring to your attention how much your support means in the fight to cure Breast Cancer.

My story is very similar to many that I’m sure you’ve heard. A lump was found, biopsied, and was cancer. Surgery in the form of a lumpectomy, with a following of chemo [...]

Ok, So you want to know what I look like?

I am part of a great group EtsyBloggers Street Team. And one of the things we do each month, is pick a topic that interests us, and write about it. It’s called the Blog Carnival.

As one of millions of people who do not like the way they look in pictures – I am biting the [...]

Has this ever happened to you?

I’ve been crocheting ever since I was a little girl, when my mom taught me how.

Last year I decided to open an Etsy shop and see if I could sell some of my crocheted items. That evolved into a second shop for all my handmade items, and my original shop now sells my fabric stash, [...]

Mend Your Fences

Yesterday, we went to IHOP for breakfast before we went grocery shopping. When the waitress brought our order, she included 2 little containers of jam – which came from Knotts Berry Farm.

I asked my DH if he had ever been there – since he was stationed in California a couple of times, and he said [...]

Another year older and still going strong!

My birthday was over a month ago – actually on May 3rd, and I turned 63. I’ve often pondered about my birthday – what I like about it, what I don’t, that I thought I’d let you in on a little secret.

You are only as old as you feel. I’m sure you’ve heard that before [...]

Soy Products and Cancer

Just mentioned the problem that I had with licorice and lack of sleep. When I got ready to throw away the licorice, I looked at the ingredients. Wow – Soy was in it.

I had mentioned before that my oncologist recommended that I not eat anything with soy in it – due to the  cancer medication [...]

Soy products and cancer

For years I’ve been drinking Soy milk, using it in cooking and in my cereal. Why do I mention it now?

A few days ago, I visited some of my friends from where I used to work. One of the gals there had breast cancer before I did. She has now been cancer free for 4 [...]

Cancer Checkup

Went to my oncologist yesterday, and everything looks good. Can’t believe that it’s been almost 2 years since I finished my chemo treatments.

My next checkup is in 6 months, yesterday’s was a 4 month visit. If the next appt looks good, the rest of the appts will be on a yearly basis til I reach year [...]
