Today's Crafty Secrets forum challenge (hosted by Pammyjo) is: "IT'S ALL ABOUT ME". What an interesting challenge and really made me think. If we were to "be a little selfish" today and tell about ourselves, then I would have to say that the Garden Girls & Feeling Yucky sets fit me pretty well.
In case you hadn't figured it out ... the "adorable" little girl is none other than MWAH back in 1953 in my dad's flower garden. I love anything that has to do with flowers! Also I have a very nurturing personality (thank goodness) and between my Mother's health issues a couple years ago & DH's cancer journey now ... I could probably get my nursing degree, LOL!!
More details can be found on my blog. Thanks for looking!

Adorable, Darlene! And so are YOU! Look at you in that picture--how sweet! I think you've described yourself perfectly--great card! We're on the same wavelenth with the childhood photo!

I agree with Julie. What a sweet looking image of yourself. And with what you have gone through, you are an honorary "nurse". Thanks for sharing a little bit about you in your card.

Love how you've added touches of colour to your childhood photo for this! Great take on the challenge Darlene and even though I'm sure you'd rather have done without the nursing duties I'm sure your Mom and Mark feel blessed that you took it on and kept smiling - go you!

Well aren't you so creative! What a beautiful pic of yourself. I love the purple flowers too. Your nurturing personality comes through so clearly as I've gotten to know you during this past year. I pray for you often my friend! Beautiful card for sure!

Well Dar as I came back for another look I realized I never posted a comment the first time....my bad!
Hey purple girl..no surprise there! Look how cute you were...what a fabulous addition to your card. You know that if we had a CS stamp set that was about COMPASSION you would fit the bill. Your caring for others is so transparent....lucky us! Thanks for playing my friend.
