Macattack #12 - PINKARONS for PINKTOBER!

“The use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice.”
Henri Matisse

We thought we'd go PINK this month, and would love it if you would join in too. October is officially the Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I have been part of the campaign for the past 3-4 years. October in my home is kicked off with the DH's birthday early in the month, and year after year he gets a PINK cake in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness. He is happy to have the PINK, and we are sure all you fabulous peeps will be more then happy to strut your PINKS this month too. Jamie and I thought it might be a good idea to spread the awareness in a fun way!

October 1st marks the beginning of breast cancer awareness month all over the world. American Cancer Society uses this time to boost their campaign to raise awareness to breast cancer and to inform people that there is now a 98 percent rate of survival if the cancer is detected early. October is the month where you will see pink ribbons everywhere, which has been the national symbol for breast cancer awareness since it was first introduced back in 1991.

Lets' see how PINK we can go in our October macarons... shades of pink, pink filling, pink sprinkles, pink inspiration - whichever PINK catches your fancy, we'll be happy to see it. Let's join FEET and give it a shout - It's PINKARONS for PINKTOBER!

Please have your Mac Attack post up no later than October 25th '10.

We are open for suggestions for future Mac Attack themes so feel free to e-mail Jamie or Deeba!

"There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again."

Elizabeth Lawrence

Long ago and far away, we were once children, carefree, playing games, splashing in the waves or delighted by surprises. The memories of these joyous, enchanted days weave in and out of our minds, brought about by a smell, a sound, a chance encounter with an old friend. Vacation times were special, not only because the business of school could be put aside and forgotten, but because homework was replaced by hours and days of play, of special treats and magical trips. We look back on those times with fondness, nostalgia and a tinge of regret for the innocence of those olden days and our fairytale-like vision of the world.

This month's Mac Challenge asked you to delve into your memories, close your eyes and conjure up images of those days of family holiday trips, days spent at some special summer spot or some hidden, wonderful, private joy from times long gone and wrap it all up in powered sugar and culinary fancy and create your own special Childhood Summer Memory Macarons.
