Save the girls!!!

Every year as a fundraiser we have a HUGE bake sale for the Cancer Crusaders.

In the years past we have had 5 plus people baking and made it a collective event so that it isn't just one or two people practically killing themselves to bake everything for the event. I mean it makes sense right?!

Well, this year it seems as if things were a little different .....

Yesterday Leslie, Karen & I baked up a damn storm! We had everything there...

Oreo Truffles

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Caramel Corn

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Banana Nut Muffins

Bark

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies

&

Brownies

hungry yet?

We sold everything for $1.

Considering we started the day without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out......I would say we did pretty damn good for some baked goods sales ha ha.

At the end of the day we had $164!

So, with that Leslie and I took $20 and purchased a few more items to make a few more things.

Strawberry Cake

Chocolate Cake

Rice Krispy Treats

Brownies

Apple Pie

Black Cherry Pie

Pecan Pie

Sour Cream Pound Cake

&

Jana brought Chocolate Chip cookies too!!!

Eventually we put it all on a cart and pushed  it through the offices in the building asking who wanted what and giving them forks to eat it with ha ha.

You can't beat service like that!!!!

On my Strawberry Cake......

I piped pairs of boobs and pink ribbons and they turned out soooooo cute!!!

                                                          I sold this one whole for $10.

Oh....and I took things from our recycle bin and home and turned them into coin buckets. I have put them all over the building. They have our team shot from when we finished the walk last year:).

I am so very proud of my team!!!!

 Breast cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that starts from cells of the breast. The disease occurs primarily in women, but men can get breast cancer as well. The information here refers only to breast cancer in women, but separate information about breast cancer in men can be found on the ACS website.

http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/BreastCancerinMen/index

A woman’s breast is made up of glands that make breast milk (lobules), ducts (small tubes that connect lobules to the nipple), fatty and connective tissue, blood vessels, and lymph (pronounced limf) vessels. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts (ductal carcinoma), some begin in the lobules (lobular carcinoma), and the rest in other tissues.

Lymph vessels are like veins, except that they carry lymph fluid instead of blood. Lymph is a clear fluid that contains immune system cells and waste products. Lymph vessels lead to small, bean-shaped collections of tissue called lymph nodes. Most lymph vessels of the breast lead to lymph nodes under the arm. These are called axillary (AX-uh-lair-ee) nodes. If breast cancer cells reach the underarm lymph nodes and continue to grow, they cause the nodes to swell. Once cancer cells have reached these nodes, they are more likely to spread to other organs of the body.

Aside from being female, age is the most important factor affecting breast cancer risk. Moderate or vigorous physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight, having first child before age 30, breastfeeding, and avoiding alcohol or drinking less than 2 drinks each day are all associated with a lower risk of breast cancer.
