Just who is Darlene Martell...

Ever since I can remember I was always the "crafty" girl. I didn't care about the latest fashions or toys (unless it had something to do with being creative). Just give me a pad of paper and some markers and I am in a world of my own. I love to draw and doodle, photograph and edit, papercraft and scrapbook or just about anything else that results in a finished handmade product at the end. I was always the one who gave creative gifts and cards and somehow always felt like it was "expected" of me to do that. Afterall, thats just what Darly always did. After being layed off from a 13 year dedication to a company I realized that if I wanted to do something for myself that this was the time. Nobody was going to do it for me and thus "Darly's Designs" was created
