Friendship Blog Hop

Happy Friday, Friends with Flair - and happy blog-oversary to my friend, Julie!  It's become a tradition of sorts for a group of us to get together on her blog-oversary and celebrate friendships.  I've never met any of the women on this hop, but they inspire me with their creations, they are there with uplifting words when I feel sad, and they are there to celebrate with me when I have success or joy.  I call that friendship.

If you came from Maria's blog, you are in the hop.  If you stumbled upon my post and haven't hopped all the way through, go to Julie's blog to start and see all the fabulous inspiration!

Wishing all their dreams come true (using Unity Stamp Company True Wishes), here is my card.


As many of you know, I host a crafter-lunch at work each month.  This is this month's card....so it's a double celebration of friendship!
I am the last stop on the hop.
