Snapshots - Saturday 5/19 Link List.
Back for the third year, let’s show everyone what life with diabetes looks like! With a nod to the Diabetes 365 project, let’s grab our cameras again and share some more d-related pictures. Post as many or as few as you’d like. Feel free to blog your thoughts on or explanations of your pictures, or leave out the written words and let the pictures speak for themselves.

I
am a picture freak! Just ask anyone that knows me. If there are not at least 50
pictures of any given event....it must not have happened, or I wasn’t there! I
love taking pictures. I am not a photographer, nor do I claim to be! – But I do
LOVE to take pictures of EVERYTHING! Every picture that I have ever taken is now
labeled in my mind “before” or “after.” I can look at a picture and in an
instant remember if it was taken “before” or “after” my daughter, Kaci was
diagnosed with diabetes. Weird, huh?
Well, here are just a few D-related pictures (in no particular order)
that I would like to share with all of you.
This is the postcard Kaci made for the World Diabetes Day Postcard Exchange in 2011. Click here to learn more about it and join for next year http://www.wddpe.com/
This is Kaci's entry for the FORD Customer Service Division JDRF car design in June 2011.
This contest raised over $43,000!! Kaci's car raised $2,255.00! Amazing!
