Sherri Baldy's My Besties featuring the image Best Besties

The bottom line is Friendship.  And friendship or any relationship has ups and downs.. and it is wonderful when you see that no matter what happens, there is some one that stands besides you..sometimes they give you some space and other times...they are right there telling you what you might not "want" to hear but what would build up your character.. They also just listen, and listen..cause sometimes one of us talks a lot. :)

I admire friendships i've seen and i think the most important thing as a friend is to encourage all friendships and not tear them down.  Miscommunication happens, especially with everything on the internet, phone etc.. 

Who thought there would be a day when the majority of ones friendships would be on the internet...and not even in person???  Not only that, but people that are in other countries that communicate with me and English is their second language.  I am so lucky to have those friends that will be my friend.

I made this card to honor two friends...that dearly care for each other and have never met.  Isn't that cool?  I love the example they set.


Dies used:
Yellow dots- Sizzix die
Ovals- Lifestyle Crafts
leaves- Martha Stewart punch
border punch- EK success

Copics used:
Skin- YR20, 21, 24
blonde hair- Y21, 19, YR24
