Relay for life.

So this Friday is the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. I am walking with the Team I walked with last year, the Corvallis Fred Meyer Team. Nic's cousins work there and we walk in memory of Beverly. It should be a good time with family and friends supporting a good cause. I have had great luck with coworkers and family in raising some money to fight against cancer!!
They do these things called Luminariums. You buy a bag (fund raising you know) and decorate it in memory of a person who has lost the battle to cancer or dedicate it to a survivor ect.. So I got two, one for me and one for Tayler to decorate for Bev. It was a great time with Tayler, I got out all my scrapbooking stuff (minus paper) and we had a blast. Tayler did her own bag all by herself...she Loves it. So what they do with the bags is they put sand in the bottom and put a candle in it. When it gets dark they line the track with all the bags and you get to walk around reading and looking at all the bags....very emotional!
So I put alot of thought into how I was going to make my bag and I am very happy with how it turned out....
