Happy Thursday to you all! Thursday is on us again already and that means new releases from McMahon Five Designs. As always, Sue continues to put the "wow" in digital images. My image for this week is here, but read the entire post please. You will find some very important information on Breast Cancer Awareness, Organ Donation and many other causes.
The standard pink ribbon is well known and recognized as a Breast Cancer Awareness symbol. But, did you know there are many other wonderful causes that use the ribbon, in other colors. You will find a listing at the bottom of this post of all the causes we should all be aware of. Organ Donation is one of the most dear to our hearts and you can read why further down.
Well, with no more chatter from me here is my image. I do apologize; the flower looks black in the photo, but it is actually a very dark purple. So, here's Emmaline, one of McMahon Five Designs new releases:
And here are the new images:

One is very near and dear to our Hearts. Literally.
Our very own Christine, is a Heart Donor Recipient.
You can read about her story HERE.
If you aren't an organ donor, please consider becoming one.
It can save a life....like Christine's.
There are currently 110,179 people on the waiting list
for a new heart.
You should also know that even if you sign up on the
back of your drivers license, you should
also register with your state.
In an emergency situation when minutes matter,
it makes it much easier for health professionals
to know your wishes if you are registered with your state.
Please sign up with your state HERE.
After you have completed your self breast exam this month,
this beautiful digital stamp is yours FREE!
Live, Laugh, Love Life
