Hello Friends! I hope these past weeks have been great to all of you! I'm sorry that I've been scarce on my blog, but it looks like I will not be posting as much as I'd like to for a little while. I've already started my Chemotherapy last week Tuesday ... 10 days ago. I have 5 more treatments to go over the course of 4 and a half months, then my mastectomy, then radiation. And theeeeeennnnn ... SUNNY DAYS!!! Woooot wooot!!! Can't wait! :)
I have all my scarves, beenies, hats and turbans ready and washed ... all patiently waiting. ;) Yep .. I'll be the new Hippy Chic on the block! hehe! :) Any day now I shall be looking like my hubby .. bald and hopefully just as fabulous as he looks! ;) I've already told him that once hairs start coming out ... I want him to shave my entire head. I'M READY!!!! (I think?! LOL!!!)
Anyway, I really wanted to THANK all of YOU who give me so much love and support! I truly appreciate each and every single one of you .. and if I could reach through this screen to hug you ... I most definitely would!
I wanted to thank all the wonderful ladies involved in the following hops ... as they have all brought TEARS to my eyes with their love and support.
The Inking Pink Blog Hop involves so many WONDERFUL girls ... all TALENTED crafters from around the world. They have put together an amazing blog hop in order to raise awareness of Breast Cancer. I'd especially like to thank my Sweet CLP Sisters and my former lovely Beary Scrap Sisters for your incredible support that you've given me.
And Belles 'n Whistles newest "Snowbaby Collection" Blog Hop (which I'd like to add is simply FABULOUS!!!) has been dedicated to Jacque and I ... sigh ... Thank you so much fabulous girls! The wonderful owner of Belles 'n Whistles .. Summer .. will be generously donating 10% of all proceeds to Breast Cancer Research! Wooot Wooot! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!
And of course, I'd also like to thank Cheryl ... for putting together a card drive for me. This is soooo sweet of you for knowing that I'd love to keep smiling through this storm. I appreciate this sOoooOOo much!
To all of the ladies mentioned above, and to everyone that sends me the well wishes and support through your comments and emails ... I love you with all my heart! And I also want to thank all of you beautiful women who have lovingly sent me flowers, cards and gifts .. you have all brought a smile to my face that I wish you could see. I appreciate EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU OUT THERE!!!
Although I am not on my blog much, and I don't go out into blogland much right now .. know that I am thinking of you!
Until next time ... ROCK ON SISTERS! And keep those smiles!!! ;) Thank you soooOOooo much for always putting a smile on my lips!
May the best of your todays, Be the worst of your tomorrows
Love you All,
Elise

Hi Elise,
It's so great that you are so positive! I was diagnosed with BC 4 years ago and have 1 1/2 yrs left of Tamoxifen. then.... party time.
I had my husband shave off my hair... was not a good idea I still had to go the hairdressers afterwards.
Wishing you all the best

Sending you a big, BIG (((HUG)))and lots of love!!!
Hiya Elise
I admire you for your positive attitude and strength, to share your story with the world.....this will help so many ladies who are also going through the same thing.
I still find it hard to talk to my Mam about this terrible disease which she had 12 years ago but thankfully she is one of the lucky ones who have survived.....my thoughts and prayers go out to you, others who are on their journey, survivers and the families who have lost to this terrible disease!!
You and Jacque are such inspirations!
hugs and xxx
Hang in there Elise....you are going to pull through amazingly...I can already feel it! :) Keep the positive thoughts because that is the spirit to get you through...and of course you have all of us sending up lots of prayers for you! Cheering you on hun!!!
Love & Lots of Hugs~

Hi Elise,
You ROCK GIRL! Your positive attitude will be your strength. My husband has gone thru Prostrate Cancer, surgery, etc. the whole nine yards. One day at a time.
Just think, when your hair grows back in it will be even more gorgalicious! Attitude is the biggest part of recovery..
With loving thoughts Marjo
Dear Elise, i give you my best wishes !!!!
Many hugs Marlis
You have a great personality.
I hope you´ll be allright.
And that your hair will grow back some day even more beautifull than it is now.
God luck to you and your family.

What an incredible woman you are Elise. Your attitude is amazing. You are such an inspiration. Stay strong and know that we are all thinking of you. Hugs xo Jackie
HI Elise!
I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. A close friend of mine has recently been diagnosed ... and is not doing so well. So ... this is close to my heart at the moment. I made a card FOR YOU (for Cheryl's Card drive. BUT ... I missed the deadline!!!) So ... I thought I would share the link here with you ... so you still get to see it.
"EnchantINK - A Card for Elise"
Then ... I will send this to my friend! (So ... both of you can share in the love & thoughts that went into it.)
Take care ... and stay positive!
With kind regards, Andrea L xxx
How wonderful to see you posting again and may I say, Elise, that your positive attitude is soooo inspiring. It is so unfortunate that bad things happen to such nice people!!!! Your positive outlook will take you through this turbulent time and you will come out stronger with a new appreciation for life, family and friends.
We're all cheering for you!!! Hugs, christina
