Life is AMAZING!!!

 I am so excited that I just have to share!! I have FINALLY reconnected with my best friend from Junior High!!! When I moved from CA to TX (when I was 14) me and my best friend Kim swore that we would always stay in touch. Well we didn't. The last time I talked to her was 20plus years ago. Periodically I would look on classmates.com to see if she was there. A few months ago when I checked again I saw her on there!! It took a few months for her to contact me back (thanks to classmates.com taking their time in sending her the email). We've been happily emailing and talking on the phone for the last 3-4 weeks!!! How cool is that!? Life is truly amazing!!!! Here's a pic of us from back in the day! 

Christmas Cards

I received these 2 gorgeous cards from my good friends Melissa (snowman) and Kimm (snowflake). I just LOVE them!! The colors are fantastic! Not sure what background technique Kimm used on her snowflake card but you can visit her blog here . Thanks so much for thinking of me ladies!!! I have more to share so Please check back often!!! I think I have finally figured out how to work my new photo programs! Enjoy

Wonderful Weekend

Even though my darling hubby is gone this weekend and I miss him terrible, I have had one of the best weekends!!! It started Friday night when my good friends Gena and Vickie come over for a evening of scrapbooking. Boy did we have fun!! My stomach still hurts from all the laughing! We had a blast and I can't wait for the next time we get together.

Then to start my Saturday I had SUNSHINE in my mailbox today!!! I received a wonderful surprise from my good friend Donna. She blessed me with a gorgeous card, stamped images, clear stamps, square coasters, a beautiful set of earrings and cell phone charm that she made, bath salts and a wonderful decorated big paper clip!!! Here's a pick of all my goodies!!! Thanks so much for the wonderful surprise Donna!!!

Then my friend Vickie came over and we spent the eveing stamping and visiting. Oh and Vickie became a grandma for the second time today. Congrats to you Grandma Vickie!!!! Enjoy your trip to see your new granddaughter. What a great weekend I've had!!! Thanks Everyone!!!

Inspirations of Friendships

A lot of my inspiration comes from family and friends. Some of my friends I have never met face to face but feel like I have known them all my life.
Donna , who helped me set up my blog, is a great inspiration to me. Through her words, artwork and most of all her faith and friendship. I have never met Donna face to face but hope that one day we will get to meet in person.
Vickie , who is my best friend and inspires me to be a better me. She is always there for me no matter what. She is my 'partner in crime' and my sounding board. We have the best time together whether we are stamping, scrapbooking, watching a movie or just talking.
Kimm , who I first met through a yahoo group for stampers. I have had the honor of meeting Kimm and her family in person. She inspires me by being who she is. She wears many hats and does a superb job wearing them all. Wife, mother, teacher, nurse, artist, christian and friend.
I feel truly blessed to have these ladies in my life and to call them friend.
