I was looking through Katie the Scrapbooklady's May issue of Amazing Month of Memories and saw that there is a No Diet Day in May. The purpose of the day is to have people just feel good about themselves and their image for one day. It made me think of the Dove commercial for their Campaign for Real Beauty. It has moved me to the point of tears and I really needed to scrap it to let all the woman in my life know that they are beautiful. Writing is not my strong suit so even though I haven't included a ton of journaling, it was a huge stretch for me. Go watch the commercial - bring a tissue.

Journaling: During the Superbowl, Dove ran a commercial featuring little kids singing Cyndi Lauper’s ‘True Colors’. Printed on the screen while the children were singing was each child’s personal fears. They read things like “thinks she’s ugly.”, “wishes she was blonde”, “afraid she’s fat”, and “hates her freckles”. According to their website, 92% of girls want to change something about themselves - 92 percent! Everytime I watch this commercial my eyes well up with tears because I know I’m one of those statistics. And so are all the women that I love. Dove wants us to change our minds, all 92% of us. Because every girl deserves to feel good about herself.
Speaking of Katie, she has a an awesome MEGA companion quote back to go with the may issue of the AMM - go pick it up!
Oh, and I meant to share this a couple of days ago but I forgot. It's one of my Card Keeper kits that Mary Anderson decorated. Didn't she do an awesome job? Love those flowers!
Speaking of the Card Keepers, I have some bad news. They are temporarily out of stock. Remember how I made 60 on Sunday? Well all those were gone by Monday. I made 15 more tonight (and turned right around and shipped them all out) and then ran out of binding rings. I placed an order immedietly but I probably won't have them until late next week. You can still place orders for them, they just won't ship until I get the rings in.
