Page 288 - pink, never been my colour! But now it is not a colour I am comfortable with as it brings back too many memories. I am a lucky survivor of breast cancer for the past 10 years, and am so glad to be alive! But at the time the breast cancer awareness campaign had just begun, and pink seemed to be everywhere, and I felt I just couldn't face it! Having three teenage girls at that time, when pink was fashionable, made it even harder! Now I can face my fears and will make myself use pink in my crafting, but don't think I will ever be truly comfortable with this colour!

{{{{{{{{{{{{huggles}}}}}}}}}}}}} Kath so glad you are a survivor and that you have began to face the colour that brings back so many tense and uncomfortable feelings.
