    Kathleen, I sent along a note that Margaret sent me...for her "anything goes" is what she told me on her center. I increased the size of it...14 inches was really small to work with...I feel sure she will not give any direction, but then she may after I did what I did to her center...LOL. Kay

    Hi Kathleen,
    I am open for any thing. This is all new to me as this is my first RR. I know from reading I am not the only one new. Do whatever you think! I trust all of you. This is so much fun. Just the surprise of what everyones see and ideas or visions are wonderful. Just have fun!!!
    Margaret.

    Just a note: I am still doing the RR I need this for myself. but we just discovered that my Husband has the big C. its in both lungs and also the liver. God only knows where else. they are doing more test this week. And I thought he was doing well.

    Gosh Margaret, I am so sorry to hear this news re your husband. Being a fellow cancer sufferer myself and having just completed 6 months of intensive radiation and chemotherapy I can’t agree more with Kay as to how important a support framework will be to you both.
    Prayers and thoughts are with you both
    Kathleen

    OK ladies - I need help! I have made and discarded several borders now and I am left with these two. I feel like it is too simple but everything else I tried didn't work (for me anyway) So please give me your opinions - maybe could change the corners to stars?

    I can't get the 2nd one to load-- same purple border w a yellow and purple checkered corner stones - I like the puple border - I think it makes the design pop and everything I add to it at this point seems to spoil it - suggestions? Anyone?

    Jackie, have you heard the saying "less is more" Imho I would keep it plain this time around. As you have pointed out the centre design really "pops" or stands out as I would say.

    I would like to see the centre design followed through in the borders at some point but not just yet. Stars to me would seem a bit out of place at the moment also.

    Good luck
    Kathleen

    Jackie,
    The purple border looks great as it is, since it is a busy center. I think sometimes we feel like we have to do a lot of fancy stuff when what is best is something calming that allows the center to stand out. The purple is a perfect frame and I am happy with it. I am sorry that you have worked so hard on several borders- do what looks best to you.
