Hello lovelies!
It's time to announce our Weekly Challenge winner!
This week's theme was "the power of pink."
Our winner is Ames
from Adorn by Amy Singley with her
EtsyProjectEmbrace Breast Cancer Survivor - Awareness Bracelet.
Kristin had an especially difficult time choosing the winner this week since, as she said, "they are all so 'deserving' of winner-hood, and they ALL come straight from the creators' hearts."
But since she could only choose one, she had to go with Ames. "The design, the colors, the motivation and the whole story behind it, are quintessential Project Embrace and I just think it's Phenomenal, and so is Ames!!" said Kristin.
Congratulations Ames!
In case you missed the story of this bracelet over on the Challenge blog, this bracelet is a very meaningful one for Ames. The description in her listing explains: "Okay, so this is the piece that started it all. 8 years ago, as I battled this terrible disease, I found beading. During chemo, my body just didn't work but my mind did. Beading was my outlet and I made this bracelet to honor my sisters surviving this disease and those who want to show their awareness and support to the cause." This is the bracelet that led Ames to Etsy and to Laura and ultimately to the team.

Hey Ames-beautiful bracelet..Congrats on the win and the survivorship! WOO-HOO!
ReplyDeleteWowza you guys! This is such an honor to me! Everyone created such amazing pieces... The 1st person I gave this bracelet to had lost her "spark". If you've gone through chemo or even supported someone going through cancer, you know how important having that "spark" is. I just thought she needed to remember or realize that she was a survivor... AT THAT MOMENT... It did help put that twinkle and spark back in her eye. This bracelet is there to remind you that we all are confident and strong and courageous and loved and hopeful, even if sometimes we don't feel it. Thanks to all of my amazing teammates... this is a heartfelt thanks for this honor! xoxox... and WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations ames. Your bracelet defintely deserve the first place. A beautiful piece with a beautiful story.
