IT'S BREAKFAST FOR BREASTS DAY !!!!!




If you're here reading this THANK YOU for coming along to visit. If you're joining in our Breakfast For Breasts on your own blog today then i THANK YOU again !

Most of you would be aware that October is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.
Im sure in some way we all know someone that has been affected by cancer, whether it be Breast Cancer or another form of Cancer...it may be a close friend, a family member, a friend of a friend, or perhaps even yourself...
I feel very strongly about helping to find a cure for this horrid disease and I'm sure you all feel the same.

So today JOIN ME FOR SOME FUN IN HONOUR OF THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING, THOSE WHO HAVE SURVIVED AND THOSE WE HAVE SADLY LOST. Host a breakfast on your blog and offer an item for sale and donate the proceeds to your nearest Breast Cancer Foundation or Cancer Council. It's that easy!

Well, my breakfast for you is ready...and i think we all deserve a light and healthy breakfast in bed to start off the day.
SO ENJOY AND SNUGGLE UP! It's your reward for being AMAZING !


Mmmm toast with a pink ribbon made from strawberry jam, fresh strawberry milk in a wine glass (well of course)...oh i know i said healthy but i snuck you in some sweet marshmallows for afterwards...i wont tell anyone *wink*
The fresh cut roses from my garden are for you as well :)


Now that you're ready to start the day...LETS SHOP !

My PINK WISH item is a set of My Original Faux Cupcakes. Not just any ole cupcakes though....PINK RIBBON CUPPIES !


I have 2 sets available for $35.00 (this includes postage) AUS WIDE and for $40.00 (this includes postage) to OVERSEAS (remember girls the dollar is lookin' good for you guys right now)and all the proceeds will go to the Cancer Council of NSW.
If you'd like to purchase a set just leave me a comment or email me @ paintminepink@gmail.com

AND REMEMBER, EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT THEM YOU WILL KNOW YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO CONTRIBUTE TO BREAST CANCER RESEARCH.

NOW.....i am also AUCTIONING this hand painted PINK WISH FENCE PICKET on MY EBAY.


The auction will start today and end on the 27th. All proceeds from this will go directly to The (Jane) McGrath Foundation.
So hop on over to my Ebay for a peek!

******* OK NOW FOR SOME FUN YOU CAN ALL JOIN IN ON *******
A GUESSING COMPETITION !!!!!!!
WOOOOOHOOOOO

Its easy, all you have to do is try and guess the EXACT NUMBER of pink heart marshmallows in this jar.


Leave me your comment and answer ON THIS POST and i will announce the winner on WEDNESDAY the 22nd ! If no-one guesses the exact number it will go to the person who's guess was closest. Ok so i hear you saying OH GIVE US A LITTLE HINT SHANN..oh ok, well the number is between 1 and....ALOT.

Have a great week Shannon and cheers to you for all you have done to raise money for breast cancer.

Hi Shann again lol. I just read your ebay auction, they had better not pull the auction, they do things like that, they have no heart I tell you. I have been a seller on there for 8 years now, and they really dont care unless they are making plenty of dollars for themselves. Sorry for the whinge but I agree with you whole heartadly (SP). Cheers and good luck with the auction, if there is anything I can do to help please let me know. Debra.,
