I’m a weee-ner!

The Cosmetology Department at the college I work at always goes all out during October/Breast Cancer Awareness month to raise funds for Well Woman of Northwest Illinois.  Well Woman is a non-profit organization that provides mammograms for the under resourced.  One of the Cosmetology Department fundraisers this year was a quilt raffle and I WON!   I never win anything so what a wonderful surprise this was!IMG_5130 IMG_5131

The woman who donated the quilt is a grandmother of one of the Cosmetology students and a 3-time breast cancer survivor.

Isn’t it pretty?

  3. Yes, it is a very pretty quilt Lori. But it's like sending flowers to a florist. You should just send that on to me! :D
