Thank you for being my friend

To all the loved ones and friends that God send in my path:

A wee bit of heaven
drifted down from above,
a handful of happiness,
a heart full of love.
-Helen Steiner Rice-
"Of all the gifts life could send-
the best is knowing you're my friend!"
Thank You

One of a Kind

This card is created to look like patchwork and paper pierced to look like it has been sewn. I embossed a brown paper cardstock before cutting it out with Sizzix tree shape die. I used pattern paper for the leaves. The card, leaves, cow and bag are cut outs from Sizzix die shapes. I treasure all the friends who come into my life at one point or the other and leave a mark of their unique character and personality in my heart - their smile, kind words, genuine concern, wonderful companionship, remarkable Christian faith, etc, etc. I thank God every time I think of each one of them and the friendship we still enjoy even though some are across the miles. Each one of them is indeed One of a Kind, created by God to bring much joy into my life.

D.I.Y. FRIENDSHIP CARD

Friends watching out for each other....This one's for you gals, Jo and Angel, thanks for a terrific time in Ningbo and Shanghai and for showing me what true friendship is all about.

Ah....!!!! Wrong "taxi" - next time be more alert!!

My fabulous girlfriend, Jo, came by yesterday and gave me a cardmaking magazine. I took this idea right out from the magazine. Draw and cut out figure, stamp and color handbag and use ribbon as skirt. Thanks, Jo. Hey, recognize the ribbon? It's from our Shanghai trip. Think I'll make a card to commemorate our Ningbo terrific encounter :)
