Circle of Friendship

How truly lucky I am to have met so many wonderful women through the amazing world of scrapbooking, photography and papercrafts. Technology never ceases to amaze me as it has allowed me to connect with women who I may never have had the opportunity to meet. Some of my new friends I have never met, but through their friendship I find myself inspired every day. To surround yourself with friends who share the same passion as you is an amazing gift. I've learned so much and feel so grateful to know these women.

Today my girlfriends Diane and Hayley sent me this Circle of Friends award and it really made my day! Thank you ladies! I have had the best time at Diane's Timberline Retreat, a bi-annual gathering of scrapbookers and will be attending Crop for Kids with her, Hayley and several of our friends from the Scrapaholics again this year. Both events I would never have known about if it weren't for my scrapbooking Circle of Friends. So to all of you, thank you for your special gift of friendship! I feel very fortunate to know you.
