Earth Hour, join us on Saturday March 28 at 8:30pm

Happy Friday Bloggers.

We would like to send off a little reminder about Earth Hour on March 28 Saturday. Earth Hour will take place at 8:30pm. Here is the Earth Hour Message from WWF (this stands for World Wildlife Fund)

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.

Please VOTE YES for Earth Hour by switching off your lights no matter where you are. Have a great weekend all:)

Cheers,
Sandy

Spring...is it Winter all over again:(

Well bloggers....it is totally Winter all over in Calgary again. We have got 20cm of snow..YEAH i KNOW. But in spite of winter not wanting to leave, the Geneskirt Divas did a whole bunch of baking to turn the mood around. Checkout some pics.

We did a few test runs of cupcakes and have been approved by the Mayberry Men. Checkout some action shots. There was a bit of drinking involved but It was Sunday:)

There you have it, Geneskirt Divas cupcakes. Yummy, Beautiful and Delicious. We hope there will be a huge turnout for the Easter Bake Sale at Heninger Toyota on April 11th Saturday. We need all the support we can get and we look forward to seeing everyone that day.

Have a great week all and until then...keep on blogging:)

Love the Geneskirt Divas XO

And the blogging begins....

Let me tell you a bit about The Gene Skirt Divas and our mission of  'The Weekend to End Breast Cancer'.  On January 23rd, Diane decided to sign us up as there is someone dear to us that is fighting her way through Breast Cancer. We would like to dedicate this life-changing event to her as well as other members of our family that have passed from different forms of cancers.  She came up with our clever team name The Gene Skirt Divas.  'Gene' signifies busting and eliminating the gene that carries the disease.  'Gene Skirt" is also a play on words of 'Jean Skirt' due to our Calgary Stampede tradition, and who are we kidding, we are definitely DIVAS!!! 

During one amazing weekend, July 24-26, 2009, we will join thousands of women and men to walk 60km in 2 days, all in the fight against breast cancer and other women’s cancers. The money raised will go to benefit the Alberta Cancer Foundation and the Tom Baker Cancer Centre.

We will post every step of the way about the lead up to the Weekend on this blog.  As mentioned from our previous blog post, we are planning a couple of exciting events in the next couple of months. We will definitely firm up all the details by next week. 

Until then, keep on blogging:)
