AWARENESS PLAQUES

After making the Breast Cancer patient and CHD family plaques, I felt that this plaque should be made available to others with chronic conditions. I hope these will be a measure of encouragement and strength. Below is a list of medical Awareness diagnoses and the colors that represent them. My "Peace Through the Journey" prayer will be the standard writing used on all of these unless you request a different writing of mine you'd like used in its place.

Listing of available awareness plaques and colors:

1. Breast Cancer (light pink or hot pink)

2. Congenital Heart Defect ( ½ blue; ½ red)

3. Autism (blocks of a variety of colors to symbolize a jigsaw puzzle)

4. Leukemia, Kidney Cancer (orange)

Breast Cancer Plaques: Peace through the Journey

I recently sold some wall plaques to our local hospital's gift shop manager. She asked me if I could write something for breast cancer patients as she works with Kentucky Connections, a resource agency for these women. She offered to let me bring several to her booth to sell at our town's Twilight Festival in the following month. I wrote the prayer, "Peace through the Journey" and put it on the pink plaques that represent breast cancer awareness.
In the midst of making these plaques I had an abnormal mammogram. I am still waiting on results of further testing and I can tell you that while my strength comes from the Lord and as much as I know He is in control, I still need prayers and support. I can only imagine the journey these women must face. Also during the development of these plaques a dear friend of ours had surgery for breast cancer. She was my first recipient of a plaque. Her response to these words validated my prayer for these plaques to touch women's hearts and offer them a source of strength to endure the battle...

*Praising God that my tests came back "probable cyst." Recheck 6 months. My heart is with the ones who weren't so fortunate as I...

The Crafting Process...

1. I buy my plaques in various sizes...

2. I choose the color of paint I want for a particular prayer poem and apply two to three coats on front and back...

3. I print prayer on cardstock of choice according to plaque size, and cut using a template I've created for each size...

4. I then adhere the cardstock to the plaque using a quality craft adhesive...and apply 2 coats over the cardstock to seal it...

5. I then apply a coat of durable clear gloss crafting varnish to the front and back, and place an alligator hook on the back so that it comes ready to hang. (Or plaques can be displayed on a stand alone easel.)

Each plaque is individually hand crafted in this fashion. Contact me if you have a special request. (See ordering/contact info post.)
