It's taken me 9 weeks but I finally made myself sit down and put together what I call my "Hope Board." I bought a simple cork board and had the idea to decorate it in all things pink. Then hang up all of my cards I received before/during my surgery. I wanted the board to give me hope on those days where I thought I might have lost some. I really wish I would have done this 9 weeks ago but the time before surgery got completely away from me. Here's where I started: Next I ruffled and hot glued some pretty pink ribbon that I found for $0.50 at Michael's, around the perimeter of the cork board. I found some super cute pink heart push pins and I used those to attach all of the sweet and inspirational cards I received from my friends at my Bye Bye Boobies party and some that I received after surgery. And here's how it turned out: I just LOVE how it looks and it now fits perfectly in my bedroom, under my Bye Bye Boobies banner, to serve as a reminder of where I was, where I've been and where I am going in this amazing journey! This board still gives me hope for my future surgeries and endeavors, and reminds me of just how truly blessed I am to have such an awesome support system! I love you all and can't think you enough. You will never know how much your words in a card mean to me!
