Susan G. Komen for the Cure 10-10-10

Susan G. Komen 5k run in downtown Phoenix, AZ on 10-10-10. It was a wonderful turn-out and meet lots of amazing survivors. I ran in honor of my aunt Denise who kicked Breast Cancer in the butt and is still kicking my butt at cards. Love you Denise!

The run was great, and a needed challenge to remember to continuously push myself. I also listed the collector Breast Cancer Awareness Bunny on my ETSY site (www.danelllynn.etsy.com). I am only making 10 of these and 15 % of the sales goes to Susan G. Komen

Thank you to all those that donated to the Race for the Cure. I really appreciated all the donations and was able to raise 325.00 thank you again.

Designer of the Year

Last weekend dl-couture participated as 1 of 10 finalists for Scottsdale Designer of the Year. I was able to create three new looks in 15 days, and had a blast pulling 14-16 hrs days for a week...but the reward, three great gowns that have reminded me how much I love creating. Although celebrating a designer of the year award did not happen that evening, celebrating the creative process with family there to support me did. And as a great philosopher has stated, "winning is not everything, but the effort to win is." - Zig Ziglar This is so true! I hope you enjoy the picture of the new looks!

IDOP

International day of Peace came so quickly, I could not believe that it was Sept. 21st again and Threading Hope was getting the invite to lead the parade with our quilt again. We were honored to walk with Chairman Ned Norris, of the T.O. Nation. It was a day full of great conversation, enjoyable visual and auditory treats with a drum circle of African drums being played by a group from Tucson. We have been invited back next year to lead again...will wait to see where the wind has blown me, a year confirmation of anything is difficult. :)
