I had to get my mammogram done this year because my doctor made me. I am at the age where you need to get one every year, yes, I am 40…actually 41. Anyway, I went to the clinic and was given forms to sign. I looked for a pen and motioned to the receptionist that I needed one. She pointed at a pink rosebud flower arrangement and I pulled one out and it was a PEN!!! I was amazed, astonished, so tickled! If you knew me personally, you would understand. I love pink, I love cute things, I still love Hello Kitty! While I was waiting my turn to be squished :), I looked up how to make the flower pens, and vowed to my husband, who was there with me–thank you hubby–that I was going to make some for my desk at work.

Later that day I took off to Hobby Lobby with my niece and spent a lot of time deciding what flowers I wanted for my pens and even more time deciding what flowers to pick for my sister’s pens that I was planning on giving her for her desk at work. I found the right flowers, vases, and supplies and made them that night! I posted them on Facebook and got lots of likes and a “Wow” from my boss, so I made her one too.

I made the colorful one for me, and the other two for my sister and boss.

My boss liked hers so much she said I should sell them. She posted on her own Facebook that I was making them. Her enthusiasm sparked something inside me and I decided to go for it.

PLEASE GET YOUR YEARLY MAMMOGRAMS LADIES!!
