What an adorable photo - just love your smile and your beautiful happy face and then there is your dog - the way he is looking at the camera and I believe is smiling too just made me smile right back.

I am happy this was tough for you as it enabled you to think about yourself and I feel we as women do not do that enough. I suppose we are taught or shown our role really early and that is one of nurturer and carer and there is guilt or a feeling of awkwardness or that we are 'not enough' when we think about ourselves. Well we are!! I can tell by your lovely face that you are a fun happy person and yes your kindness definitely shines through.

I like the way you have composed your page and the font you have used, love the addition of the lace and your elements are perfect. Love your title and your sweet little cluster on the circle mat. Thank you for participating in the challenge.

Wow - thank you so much for your many kind words. You are so right in everything you say and even though I'm coming up to my 74th birthday I still have a lot to learn but I'm definately getting better at saying "no" to something I really don't want to do. Thanks for the challenge

You have a beautiful smile and so does that beautiful dog next to you! Love your lady element! So much said in just a few words but how deeply meaningful they are!!

I know this was a challenge for you to make a page about yourself, and you did wonderfully! This is beautiful!

This is beautifully scrapped Maureen! I loved learning a little more about you, you are amazing person.

This is such a heartfelt page and I think this is what scrapping is all about
