Born from breastfeeding on end, Hello Ink was started by Alison Hunter. She was frustrated having to pull out her pen and gum wrapper every time she wanted to give her information to someone she had met at the playground or at her child's school. Alison decided to created her own custom calling card using clip art from her favorite illustrators at Havana Street. They got such a great reaction from people that she decided to design more.



The cards are printed on 12pt. card stock and are available in matte or gloss finish. Choose from pre-designed styles with retro figures or bold graphics. Add your own titles like: Working Mom, Mother of Sam or Smith Family CEO. Alison will work with you to give you the look you want.

Help Urge the End of "Drive-Through" Mastectomies.

In January 2007, Senators Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Representative Rosa L. DeLauro (D-CT) reintroduced the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2007 (S. 459/H.R.758). The bill would allow a woman and her doctor to decide whether she should recuperate for at least 48 hours in the hospital or whether she has enough support to get quality care at home following this emotionally and physically difficult surgery.

Last fall, as part of Lifetime network's Stop Breast Cancer for Life campaign, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jewel, joined by Lifetime executives, delivered more than 12 million signatures to Congress calling for an end to the cruel practice of sending women home without a sufficient recovery period, sometimes just hours after their mastectomy. And since then they have collected nearly 5 million more!

Sign the petition to urge Congress to pass the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2007 (S. 459/H.R.758) to ensure no more women are forced to experience a "drive-through" mastectomy.
