Cherish

Just a reminder to cherish your friends. After seeing so many of my friends this week I know how special they are, as well as my neighbors and all the precious friends I've made online. Just because we haven't all met in person doesn't mean you aren't as loved, So many people have moved to Instragram and that's okay too but I miss the personal stories we tell in blog land. Each and every person is special to me and the fact that you took time to comment or say hello is awesome. 

This is a card to honor special friends. It is an older stamp from Great Impressions and pattern paper.

I knew I'd get older. I am just so surprised how fast it happened.






Be kind to one another.

Brenda, such a lovely card for your friends. I agree with you that it is sad that so many have gone to Instagram and don't post as much on their blogs. I really miss that and am sorry I don't get to blogs to comment very often.
I see that I missed your 80th birthday even though we talked about it on Zoom.
Happy, happy birthday my friend. What a fun surprise that your boys had for you to celebrate your birthday. Hugs, Linda

A beautiful card and a lovely post to read. It's a shame some people are moving over to Instagram, like you I love reading crafters' blogs as they are much more personal. xx

High fives to friends both near and far! We wouldn't be doing much in this life without them, that's for sure! I love this fun little card with a touch of fall and that plaid looks perfectly cute on the cup! I don't use Instagram and I don't even have a cellphone, but like you; I enjoy reading blogs and getting to know people. Old school still works for me and I'm glad I got to know you through blogging. Long live friends!

Cute card and I like the color combination. I have Instagram, but don't use it, my habit is to check emails, go to FB, sometimes blog which I have been very lazy these last couple of years. Oh, times are changing. I always enjoy your funny little one liners at the end of your blog, where do you get those ideas??? I told the Good News, Bad News one to a couple of people and they got a good laugh as I did telling it!!!

Such a special card and so pretty too. Love the sentiment and that plaid paper you used. Yes, friends, whether we've actually met in person or not, are very dear.

Yes, it is amazing to have cherished friends, and we should cherish them always. Love your card, the plaid paper is fabulous in those fall colors and of course, looks like we are having a pumpkin spiced latte. LOL But it is the sentiment is what I am loving a lot because it is so true. You are such a treat Brenda!!! Hugs, Brenda
