Well here is mine. I was going to add lace and charms, but they might not hold up in the washing machine.
My story" First, the light house. I had never seen a light house until a couple of years ago when we went to Niagra Falls. I loved them. Also, I am a Christian. So the 2 corners fit this. For God said," Have faith my child, and I will light the way." That is the light house. The butterfly in the opposite corner represents that I am a reborn Christian. The cornerstones of my life.
The top row: I love roses and those are the colors I like. Second row: I love butterflies, lady bugs and flowers of all kinds. I can't grow any flowers, it seems that they always die.
The third row: I am a red hat lady. I belong to 4 different red hat groups. I am a hugger and a kisser. I am an R.N. and I teach CNA students. After each test, I give them each a hug. At the end of the semester, I give them a pair of bandage scissors with beads that I have wire wrapped of their favorite color and a charm on it that says, "Made with love". My favorite flower is the pink rose.
The bottom row: turqouise represents water, the ocean, waterfalls, and I am a pisces. I love to paint flowers, water and mountains. The green represents that I do geneology. The little bee represents me. I am a very busy little bee. I am also a professional clown and I taught Christian clowning. ( I never knew I would grow up to be a clown) He! He!
The purple border represents one of my favorite colors and also that I am old enough to wear purple. Of course, I am only 69 years old. There is more, but I could not get it all in. ( In the picture, there is only 3 sides of purple showing, but it is framed in purple on all sides). I could not get all that in either. :lol:

I love everyone of them. We all have neat stories to tell.
