My post isn’t “creative”… because I haven’t got a creative bone in my body (thanks to two left-brained parents!). However, my post comes from compassion and love.. I would so love to gift this basket to a beautiful friend of mine who was diagnosed with MS this month… ironically during MS Week. She’s such a kind, lovely friend and the most amazing mother to 4 beautiful children.

In all of this craziness in her life, tests, new meds (every other day injections) and just finding her strength to cope and deal, I would love to be able to give her this basket so she can treat herself to some pamepering at such a challenging time.

But not everyone leaves empty handed!  There were two other comments which made us create an Honourable Mentions section of the contest.  Both ginette4 and Julia L. have each won a Buttercup gift for having the courage to share their stories with us! Read both comments below, and thanks to everyone who entered!

It has been one crazy year! I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, I moved, I started a relationship, and I conquered an eating disorder! Last night, I realized that I need to find ways to take care of myself, to relax, to pamper myself. So I made a list of a few great things I can do to relax, such as have a bubble bath, or go for a walk by the river. Then, tonight, I stumbled upon this contest, and I thought, WOW, would this stuff ever be an amazing way to pamper myself! That’s why I’d be thrilled to win this amazing gift!

This is what I’ve learned from my crazy year: I can’t always control what happens to me, but I can control how I react to it. For example, I can’t control that I have a tumor, but I can control how I react to that tumor – and I’ve chosen to fight, be strong, and not back down.

I would love to win this so I can surprise my Mother with it, she has been my angel in my time of need. I have been ill (had to stop working)and haven`t been able to do things for myself or my family. She has been here helping out with the housework, cooking our meals and even doing my families laundry. I don`t know what I would do without her help. She never wants anything from us. She never buys the little stuff for herself, she always goes without because she knows that her money helps her family. Would love to give this to her.
