Brick Layer Petey

Petey loves to try new jobs! 

This one is for a friend of my moms who father has prostate cancer.  The son does construction and also lays bricks,  He gave me the brick that Petey is on so it was only fitting to also put Petey on the brick.

Petey the Prostate Crusader

Petey and his friend has decided to take on the world to spread the word about
 Prostate Cancer! 

His jeep might be green now but over the winter, he has plans on getting it painted blue.  

Dash For Dads 5K Run/Walk

Ray did his 1st Dash for Dads 5K on Sunday August 29th! He walked it in under an hour. And Petey was there also he did not walk the whole race with him but he did get to go over the fnish line!

Great job Ray and Petey!

Some of the pictures are on their sides I still need to fix them.  But I thought that I would share them with you!

Petey the Prostate Crusader will be there so if you have not gotten yours yet come to the Community Healthfest and get your Petey for your desk or to give as a gift! There will aslo be Blue Chocolate Ribbon suckers for Prostate Cancer Awareness!

Did you know that September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness month?

Petey loved by all!

Earlier this month we went to Wright-Patterson AFB to see Dr. Arzola the doctor that diagnosed Ray's Prostate cancer. He told us his kids are always asking for his Petey that we gave him. He keeps telling them no and he is still sitting on his desk! It is amazing how a little walnut is such a big hit!

One year ago.....

It has been a year now since we found out that Ray has Prostate Cancer! It has been a year of ups and downs, but as you can see Petey is keeping me sane! I was in the kitchen earlier and thinking about an idea for Petey on his tractor. Ans lo and behold and idea was born! I am going to keep you in suspense until I get it done!

Petey's at the beach!

Even Petey needs a day to relax at the beach! The blue boat is made from blue chocolate. I need to figure out a way to wrap it better, not a good idea to use shrink wrap. The heat from the hair dryer will melt the chocolate. If you have any ideas let me know!

Prostate Cancer Survivors Speak their Minds

We attended a book signing last night here in Columbus, Ohio. It was great! Here is the link to the book:

There here! There here!

This is the sample run of Petey the Prostate Crusader!

A year ago I had never payed attention to Prostate Cancer until June 19, 2009! That is the day we found out that Ray has it. Allot of women are afraid to talk about it because it is so personal. But as you can see I am not a silent partner to my husband! This week we will have two dates that are important to us, the 19th for the 1st year with cancer and then on the 20th as that is the anniversary of our 1st date 27 years ago.

Petey the Prostate Crusader polos

Hopefully tomorrow our Petey the Prostate Crusader shirts that we are having stitched! I can honestly say I have been impatient to seem my idea come alive! Picture coming soon!

Know Your Score Cake

June 6, 2010 was National Cancer Survivors Day!

I made this cake for the picnic that was for the survivors, but it did not get cut. So Ray took it to the VA Clinic yesterday and gave it to the Urology Department.

Why the Walnut?

The walnut was chosen because of the similar size of the Prostate Gland! The Prostate is housed inside a protective sheath of tough fibrous tissue. The Romans named the tree which bears walnuts, Juglans regina- Regal nut of Jupiter or Nut of the Gods. According to Roman folklore, the gods feasted on walnuts while their lowly subjects subsisted on lesser nuts such as acorns, beechnuts, and chestnuts. Walnuts were thrown to Roman wedding guests by the groom to bring good health, ward off disease and increase fertility. Young boys eagerly scrambled for the tossed walnuts, as the groom's gesture indicates his passage into manhood. http://www.yananow.net/troopc.htm#index

The Petey collection

These are the newest collection of Petey's. Putting hats on them gives them even more personality since Prostate Cancer does not discriminate!

I still have Petey's without hats also!

An egg carton makes a great storage container for shipping or carrying! You can get your very own for a $2.00 donation for each Petey.

I am working on another project with these Petey's! Check back soon to see where they are relaxing.......

Petey goes to The White House!

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month! So Petey the Prostate Crusader wants to make a plea to The White House! If they can turn the lights pink for breast cancer. Why not change them BLUE for Prostate Cancer!!
