It is the 15th of the month and that means another Dueling Darlings challenge. Our hostess this month for the entire group is Melina. We have lost a few members in the past few months and have an uneven number of members on each team. Melina stepped up this month and sent a challenge to the Divas and then a different challenge to the Dazzlers.
The Diva theme is in honor of our leader Kelly. We were asked to use animals as our theme and then to be sure to add a button on our card. Kelly loves animals and we all know she loves her Riley’s! So, that was an easy choice for me. And, I too love buttons and have a couple of drawers of them—so I had a few choices there too!
The sentiment was not hard either as I am so grateful to be a part of this group and even more grateful to call Kelly a friend! She is so kind, funny, creative, inspirational, a great mom, loving wife, wonderfully spiritual, a caring friend and my list could go on and on and on……………….. Now-the one thing I need to hope for is that we get to meet in real life sometime—that is on my bucket list!
So—Kels—this one is for you!
Here is the inside of my card.
