Keep Calm & Fight On.

Jill's event is NEXT Saturday! I can't believe that it is right around the corner.  It feels like yesterday we had just started to plan it.  Time flies...I'm nervous about everything getting done on time.  There are still centerpieces to make, decorations to assemble, favor bags to decorate, etc...But I am so happy.  And excited. And HAPPY!  It's such a thrill doing something that I love.


Jill.  Jill is the reason FOR this event.  Jill is my co-worker and dear friend. She is a wonderful example of a godly woman and an amazing teacher to her students. About a year ago, Jill was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer.  Not once did she complain or ask God, "Why?"  She fought with grace and humility, and as a result inspired others around her.  I can say for a fact, she inspired me.  Jill finished chemotherapy a month ago and is in the process of undergoing radiation.  Next  Saturday her friends, family, co-workers , past students and their parents will celebrate Jill and her brave fight against breast cancer.  I am thrilled to be apart of Jill's life and this "Celebrate Life" event.

Much to my excitement, Jill asked me to coordinate this event.  It's my first "official" event and I am over the moon.  I just want everything to be beautiful for Jill.  And, I want her to understand how much people truly love her...and how much she has inspired the people around her.

I had a lot of fun creating the invitations for this event.  Jill is such a fun, up-beat person to be around so I wanted the invitations to reflect that.  And, that's the first "impression" that the guest will get of what's to come at the event.  So, I wanted it to be something fantastic.  Jill's one request was that everything was to be pink.  So, I thought I'd start with the invitations. :)  What do you think?
