Make A Boo-Bee For Breast Cancer
Support Your Favorite Boo Bees
I love Boo-Bees! The first time I saw one was right after my daughter was forced to take off one of those awareness rubber bracelets that said "I Love Boobies". It was not meant as an insult to breasts. It was a breast cancer awareness saying. Her school did not find it appropriate. When I first saw it I thought it would be a wonderful substitute. Being a Boo-Bee for Halloween will spread the word and it's a unique way of getting people talking about the subject.

A Boo-Bee is a Bee dressed in a white sheet..... It's a pun on words for Boobies or Breasts. I love Boo-Bees would mean you love breasts. It honors women who have breast cancer.

Excellent!
great lens for a great cause. Thanks a lot. My aunt has survived and just got her 10 year clearance.
This is a great lens! My mother lost her battle with cancer. I donate yearly to the Canadian Cancer Society. Thank you for the great work.
nice tips
This is a greay way to raise awareness of Breast Cancer and to support the fund raising :)
Wonderful awareness campaign! Getting kids involved is never a bad thing. I'm very supportive of teaching children about the human body so that they are not surprised when they realize they have one. :)
Great lens for a great cause - blessed by a SquidAngel!
Very creative! My mother and mother-in-law are breast cancer survivors.
These are awesome, great creative thinking on breast cancer awareness for kids. :D
I loved reading about the "Boo Bees". Breast Cancer Awareness is a very important message. My aunt is a 9 year survivor of breast cancer.
Thank you, enjoyed your lens.
Thank you for the lens.. Pink power rock. great design. I support breast cancer too with my lens "Pink Pumpkin for Breast Cancer Research" and please all help the cause! Please share and like.. many kisses
Great lens on Breast Cancer awareness and it is all this month. That school needs some education lessons for itself. I just ordered a black T shirt "Real Men Wear Pink" and told all those men out their, especially those married, to tell their spouse if they find something lumpy or wrong. Cheaper than paying a doctor to find out for you. Kudo's on a wonderful lens.
lovely! Thanks for creating this.
Fun presentation while making important points
My sister just got diagnosed with Breast Cancer and I have an aunt who is a breast cancer survivor, that means I am in a very high risk group. I haven't heard of boo bees before but I'm certainly going to bless this lens about boo bees.
Fantastic info! I've never heard of a Boo Bee before, I love the concept!
This is very unique, cute, and serious at the same time. :)
A lovely lens
NIce lens- loved the pics!
Hehe, I used to eat at a Tex-Mex restaurant called Chi Chi's in England...wonder if they knew it as a slang term for boobs.
Too cute---and for such a great cause! Thanks so much for writing yet another awesome lens to read :o)
Never heard of this event. Cute. A fun awareness for Breast Cancer.
This is a fun way of raising awareness of breast cancer!
Breast cancer awareness is very important. Cute lens.
There are so many ways we could be offended today but...boobi? Boo Bees is cute, creative and very catchy!
I love it! Imagine someone being offended when breast euphemisms are used in breast cancer awareness! Boo Bees is an adorable way to raise awareness.
What a great way to show support for those who are affected by breast cancer. Your daughter's school needs to get a grip!
This certainly is a good idea to increase Breast Cancer awareness, well done. See you around the galaxy...
Boo Bees are an original. Reminds me of the day my 3 year old grand-daughter pointed at my bottom and said "You have a big bottie! I have a baby bootie!" Gotta love those grandkids.
This is a brilliant idea and a great way for kids to honor loved ones too. YAY You and your daughter for making such a great team! Wonderfully inspiring!
Love it.
Breast Cancer is no laughing matter, but keeping a sense of humor can be invaluable in difficult times. Thanks for a fun way to help raise awareness ... :)
What a great play on words.
