Welcome every morning with a smile...(continued)

Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday.  Be a self-starter.  Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day.  Today will never happen again.  Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all.  You were not born to fail. ~ Og Mandino

With all of that being said...HAPPY NEW YEAR!  And with the new year has come a resolution to pay more attention to this blog and promoting awareness of Ovarian Cancer.  I've fallen behind but I am ready now!  Relay for Life 2012 is back in full swing and with it lots of brainstorming regarding the best ways to fundraise.  I'm welcome to any suggestions but I also have a few ideas up my sleeve and what seems like the perfect place to start. 

Just to remind us all of what exactly we're fighting for (and how much fun it can be) I've added a few pictures of the events from 2011, including the Quilt Show AND Relay for Life 2010 (yes I am really that far behind).  We had lots of fun putting together our theme, decorating our outfits and boogying down the night of Relay until that little torrential rain shower that did an awesome job of soaking everything.  AND who knew it could be THAT cold at the end of April (needless to say we did not make it through camping through the night)!  ENJOY and stay tuned for more!

Thanks to everyone who participated in Relay for Life 2011.  You played an integral part in helping Frills for Teal meet both its fundraising goal, and that of raising awareness of ovarian cancer; and for that we are forever grateful!  Looking forward to 2012!
Jon and the guys provided a little bluegrass.
