The kids and I happily helped her out. She had several people volunteer to make capes (and even some masks) for the little boys, so we said we'd help with some tutus. The kids helped me pick the colors and Gretchen even helped make some of the tutus. We mailed 8 colorful tutus off to her yesterday.

Gretchen modeled some before we packed them up, of course!
Cathy's jewelry is beautiful. You can check out her website here. She does so much for so many charities. Even when you aren't buying one of her Cause bracelets or necklaces, you can be assured the profits are finding their way into needy lives. She recently participated in the Susan G Komen 3 Day 60 mile Breast Cancer Walk in Boston with a team know as Sofia's Angels. Sofia was Cathy's mother who was taken from this earth too soon by breast cancer. The team raised $34,000 for the cause to participate in that walk. She is already planning to participate in out 60 mile Susan G Komen walks around the country in 2013 and 2014. The girls all wore tutus during the walk with ribbons on them to represent people who we have lost to any cancer - or to represent survivors, too!!!
These are my friend, Colleen's tutu ribbons. You you see the blue ribbon that reads "Big Ken"?? She proudly wore his name as she walked to help raise money for a cure to cancer.
The kids and I were happy to help Cathy out in her most recent project. We hope the kids at the Boston Children's Hospital have a lot of fun dressing up and playing together! Thanks to Cathy for giving us the opportunity to step up, get crafty and help others.
