HI everyone! I posted my first vlog post 2 weeks ago and I just wasnt vloging. But, today, I thought.. I should. I have so much going through my head right now. You’ll see as you watch.. its like 50 tabs open in a browser in my head.

So, because I could not concentrate on getting some stamping done, I thought I’d share a post to say… thank you..

Thank you to all of you who are beside me during this journey. You have no idea how much it means to me. And, its hard to find the words.. it really is.. just so grateful, and so thankful for so many supportive family and friends.

I love you..

Happy Father’s Day!

A New Journey (in so many ways).

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on June 2nd, 2018

Hi there peeps! How are you? Happy Saturday!

I have not been good lately blogging (again). The holiday weekend came and gone – and for me, it was crazy until Memorial Weekend. I’m an Innkeeper.. and our inn is in a very tourist oriented area – summer is major for us!

So, I’m starting on a new journey. I am still paper crafting.. that isnt going to change. I love my stamping tribe. I need you!

But, today is a new chapter in my life and I debated.. do I share it or not. I was up all night Thursday thinking, over thinking – I came up with.. vlogging it. Yep, I am going to vlog. I think. Im scared to “expose” myself to all – but, I think maybe if I can help someone along the way of my new journey, it would make my heart smile.

So, along with paper crafting.. we are going to paint the chalet.. PINK.

My name is Dawn, and I’m going through the process of being a Breast Cancer Survivor. Im a helper, a fixer, a control freak, a wimp at times.. but I felt maybe sharing this may be helpful and somehow documenting this new normal.

I made my first VLOG.. and its here for you to view. Im scared.. its not edited, and they wont be (I have no time for the fuss). However, I’m sharing ME … a lot of me. Im inviting you to share in this journey too.

Oh and before I do.. I do want to thank SO many gals who came to my Retired Stamp Sale and Catalog Kick Off. It was a HUGE success and I received a LOT of hugs – which was the BEST part! A few tears shared too.. I love my tribe!

So, here it is.. The Pink Chalet – Vlog Post #1

I guess saying this out loud, reminds me that Im accepting this and going to fight and be super strong. So, I posted this on Facebook yesterday (not for sympathy, but to share the new road I’ll be strolling).

“Yesterday, not only did I get some new shoes, but these shoes will be a part of my new journey to kick cancers butt and be a survivor of breast cancer. I won’t lie, I’m scared, but I’m determined.”
