Freebie Mini Kit - Time for Tea - A Tribute

Well, it is the start of another week, the last week actually, of October.  You know what that means, I have a freebie mini kit for you!  I just completed my Week 4 entry over at Scrapping FairyTales.

Here is some background behind it:

I found it a little difficult to start this particular challenge—It was hard for me to pick just the right theme to relate to Europe.  I started with the Italian pizza idea, thought about doing something with the Loch Ness Monster and then started to think about Italian desserts like Cannoli’s and Tiramisu.  After a few days, I changed my mind again and wanted to focus on the street cafĂ©’s and bakeries that serve such yummy goodies. 
When I started designing the beverages for my baked goods, I started to focus on one particular hot drink—tea which is a popular past time in Europe.  After doing some research on tea, I stumbled upon some studies which showed that green tea, in particular, minimizes the risk of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.  After I stumbled upon this discovery, I knew the direction my kit should take!  Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I wanted to pay some small tribute to all of those, including me, who are affected by cancer in some way (either a survivor, a family member or friend who knows someone who suffers from this terrible disease, or you have a loved one or a friend who has passed away because of cancer).  Here is Tea Time, A Tribute.  (And a special toast too, “Let’s Pray for a Cure”) 
Here is the preview:

Oh yes, I wanted to actually start something on my blog for this particular kit.  In the comment section of this post, I would like to see you pay tribute to those who are affected by Cancer in particular.  If you are a survivor, share your message of courage, strength, inspiration, or difficulties.  If you are a friend of someone, share how you have helped your friend deal with this disease.  If you know someone who has died because of this terrible disease, please share a happy memory or pay tribute to them in some way.  (If you want to give me ideas on colors for a full sized kit, please feel free to do that too.  Lastly, I would like to design a guy version of this kit so please let me know of some colors--green tea minimizez the risk of Prostate Cancer in men according to some studies.)
