Hi Everyone,
I’m Back! Again. For those of you who follow my blog, you know by now that I have Crohn’s Disease. I haven’t posted in a while because once again my Crohn’s reared it’s ugly head and I had to have surgery again (this was my 21st!) But, instead of letting this disease knock me down for good, I fought hard and now I’m back! In honor of that I have decided to share a project with you about friendship.
Friendships are one of the most important relationships that you will ever make in your lifetime. It’s the one relationship that will sustain you through all of the highs and lows that life throws your way. My best friend Tina, or Teen as I call her, has always been there for me. She has never let me down in the 33 years we have been friends. She is one of the most important people in my life and I don’t ever want to think of what my life would be without her.
A few years ago, Teen sent me this quote. It says, “A good friend will come bail you out of jail… but a True Friend will be sitting next to you saying, ‘Girl…we screwed up.’” For me that says it all. When Clearsnap called me and asked me to create a new project for them, I knew what I wanted the theme of the project to be: Friendship. So in the name of friendship, and in honor of my best friend Teen, I dedicated this book project to her. And I want to say to her, “Thanks for having my back and know that I will always have yours!”
With that said, why don’t you do something special for your best friend? A scrapbook page with pictures of you both is a great way to tell your best friend how much you love her. Or, you can create a book like the one I designed. It’s so easy to do. For my book, I used Design Adhesives, glitters, and ink pads from Clearsnap. To use the Design Adhesives, peel the backing off, place on your project, sprinkle glitter and shake off excess glitter. That’s it. You’re done. They are simple to use and they give your projects that extra glittery shine. Doesn’t your best friend deserve a little extra glitter in her life? I know mine does.
