October 13, 2009
Joyful Heart Design To Donate Proceeds of New Stationery Product to Pink Initiative in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness
Joyful Heart Design has designed a new stationery product to benefit Pink Initiative in response to Pink Initiative’s Be the Change $10,000 Challenge for October and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The product is a set of note cards displaying a silver princess crown printed on white linen paper and embellished with a pink jewel. The set comes wrapped with pink ribbon and is being sold by Joyful Heart Design on the company’s website, www.JoyfulHeartDesign.com/pinkinitiative or by calling 806-787-1450.
Pink Initiative is a community of wedding industry professionals passionate about funding awareness, outreach, education and research for breast cancer. “During our first twelve months, Pink Initiative’s board of directors and our growing group of vendor sponsors have taken our message to heart proudly displaying our logo on websites and blogs, spreading our message on Twitter, and kindly giving more than $7,000 thus far,” reported Emilie Sommer, founder of Pink Initiative and professional photographer with emilie inc.
Joyful Heart Design will also donate 10% of proceeds from all invitation and stationery items containing the color pink which are purchased during the month of October to Pink Initiative.
“I am honored to be a Pink Initiative sponsor and hope to inspire others with these products and encourage people to celebrate life now,” said JoDitt Williams, founder of Joyful Heart Design.
An updated report of funds raised to date can be found at http://pinkinitiative.org as well as a list of participating wedding vendors, fund raising ideas, and information on how to become a pink initiative sponsor.

Happy National Milk Chocolate Day!
July 28, 2009
No, I did not make that up. It’s official. July 28th is National Milk Chocolate Day!
And I have three sweet treats for you!
This is my husband’s favorite holiday because his favorite snack is Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Chips. Yep, he eats them right out of the bag. Makes it easy on me. If I want to make his day, I don’t have to labor over a hot stove trying to bake up something sweet and hope that it doesn’t flop. Nope, all I have to do is get him a bag of chocolate chips… but they have to be MILK chocolate, NOT semi-sweet or dark chocolate. Only MILK Chocolate will do.
So, you don’t have to feel guilty for eating your fill of milk chocolate today either. But if you’d like to try something a little “cooler” than just chocolate chips out of the bag, check out
Treat #1:
Try this cool and creamy frozen drink:
Ice Cream Whirly
- 1/4 cup REESE’S Milk Chocolate Baking Pieces Filled with Peanut Butter Creme
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- Whipped topping(optional)
- Additional REESE’S Milk Chocolate Baking Pieces Filled with Peanut Butter Creme(optional)
Directions:
1. Place baking pieces and milk in blender container. Cover; blend until baking pieces are in fine pieces.
2. Add ice cream; cover. Process until well blended. Pour into glass. Garnish with whipped topping and additional baking pieces, if desired. Serve with spoon or wide straw. 1 serving (about 3/4 cup).
