lets get funky

hi loves how are we today? sooo I just wanted to let you all know of a new linkup that will be starting tomorrow hosted by Shanna of Because Shanna Said So , which btw is a daily read of mine. If you have yet to follow Shanna then please do so immediately - she is a fabulous fashion blogger who is not afraid to take risks & I really enjoy seeing what she puts together daily. Plus she's amazing......but back to her new linkup....it's called  "Random Wednesday" - I think the name pretty much explains it but anything goes when it comes to this linkup so get your posts ready & let's make her first linkup a big one! 

So I still can't believe that we are already in November?! It's just crazy....& let me tell you it has been REALLY hard waiting to listen to my Michael Buble Christmas CD. I told myself I would not start listening to Christmas music until Black Friday....i have about 12 days left....wow 12 days. I started this countdown on my phone back in January....& now we are reaching single digits!!! craziness! 

ok moving on from my Christmas obsession, I am so excited about who is here today! I have fallen in love with this girl. She has such a HUGE & generous heart, its contagious. Not to mention she is so freaking cute. Her blog is just one of those reads that puts you in a good mood. She dabbles in everything so it's always exciting to see what she will be blogging about. Plus she just started something even more exciting, but I'm gonna let her tell you about it. So without further ado meet The Messy Girl of the Month - the adorable & fabulous ---->

Hello, hello! My name is Brie and I blog over at Sophistifunk. I also recently started an online shop selling jewelry. 

Here's a little background about how Sophistifunk: The Shop came to be:

My dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer in October of 2011. He had never smoked and was only 44 years old, so it came as a huge shock to my family. He was a well known high school football coach in the Phoenix area and as soon as he was diagnosed, the community rallied together for him and created Team Bemis. They raised money for our family to help pay for his rising medical bills. 



My dad passed away in January 2012, just three months after his diagnosis. Seeing my dad go through such a gruesome process of radiation and chemotherapy made me want to do something to help cancer patients and thank the community for all they'd done for our family. 



I've made jewelry for family and friends for years but decided that I wanted to create a business out of it with a percentage of proceeds going towards various cancer charities. Last month, I was able to donate over $100 to the Ronan Thompson Foundation which goes towards finding a cure for Neuroblastoma, a form of pediatric (childhood) cancer.

Today, I'm giving away $25 in Sophistifunk: The Shop credit to one of you lucky readers!
