October is .......

Breast Cancer Awareness Month =)
This whole month i've been selling cupcakes to help with breast cancer research.
Each dozen are $17 each and i'm taking $5 from each dozen and donating it to the Susan G. Komen Fund.
To date i've only sold 3 dozen.
not as much as i've hoped ...
BUT October isn't over yet! =)
and hey ... it's $15 more to help research than they had. right? lol.
that's the way i'm looking at it.
Found this the other day on Facebook!

i want one!
i dunno what i'll do with it ...
hahah ...
but i still want one!
lmao!

i made these today for the tops of my cupcakes ...
Pink Pearly Fondant Ribbons =)
