~Saturday Filled With Blessings~

Good morning my crafty friends, whom I love!!!

I am so very blessed to have friends all over the world, many whom I

am honored enough to meet at Craft functions and some whom I

have never met but still "know" them from conversations.

I wanted to share with you the power of crafting and love today.

Yesterday in the mail I received this beautiful card from Mandie Wade

who took the time to make this card AND included some lace in the

package because she knows I love lace!! I met Mandie in Chicago (CHA).

It always amazes me how kind and caring the craft community is.

I am nothing more than a country pink haired girl who dares to

share her life, both good and bad with anyone who will listen

and happen to play with paper and glue....yet I have made so many

amazing friends and feel the love of the craft community every single day!

So many crafters have come to me and because I am so open they

have started speaking out about their own lives.

I am always happy to see others speaking out and helping to raise

awareness of personal and painful issues.

I received this 8X8 layout from Bree who I have "known" online

for a very long time. I love how she used my layout as the photo.

And I received this AMAZING layout from Pam (whom I met in Texas).

I love how she used a picture of both of us! She was so beautiful in person

I mean STUNNING and her hubby was a RIOT my Johnny Cash! LOL

What an honor for Pam to scrap little ol' me! :)

I have come to find out that crafting is more than just art or

preserving memories. It is in fact a conduit to meet the most

amazing people who have a common interest.

The BIGGEST hearts around and the most loyal friends you could ever meet.

Crafting is definitely more than paper and glue...it is LOVE♡♡

~Thanks for letting me share my friends with you today~
