Cervical Cancer Awareness Month…

My friend Patti was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She embarked on a journey of strength and courage and endured days that most of us would cower at the thought. Her courage led her to a path of recovery and today, thankfully,  she is cancer free. 11,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer this year, 4,500 will die from it. However, invasive cervical cancer is highly preventable. Patti has raised awareness in all those close to her and anyone else who will lend and ear. January is Cervical Cancer awareness month. In honor of my Patti’s courage, I wanted to design a product that would help carry her message. This special luggage tag has a little lady dressed in the cervical cancer awareness colors. She packs a powerful message “Live”. I’m Inkpressed will donate 50% of all proceeds from the sale of this product to Tamika and Friends, an organization dedicated to raising awareness.

Regular Pap tests are crucial to ensure early detection and prevention. For more information please visit the National Cervical Cancer Coalition website.

Playdate

Winter is in full swing. While some areas of the country are experiencing record low temperatures, inside, children are suffering from cabin fever. Why not organize a play date with a few of their friends. Problem is, if  they are too young to ask a classmate for their phone number, play dates will be hard to organize. Others ask for the number and the exchange fails when someone leaves off a digit (or three). Low and behold the “Mommy Calling Card”. This unique card is a business card that has been given the mommy flair. Carry a bunch in your wallet and give them out to fellow moms on the soccer field for a girls night out or a game night in. Hand it out on Parent / teacher night so the teacher can have all your contacts, including e-mail. Mommies are busy gals and need business cards too.
