Counting My Blessings

Last night, hubby and I went to dinner with my girlfriends, Leslie & Joy. We had lots of fun catching up with them. I love these 2 girls and I do consider them among the influential people in my life. They accept me just the way I am and with them I can truly be myself, silly, serious, and everything in between.

I'll never forget how Leslie reached out to me during one of my lowest point (this was way before we're even close) and she said to me how everything will be allright. I'll never forget that. And, Joy has such a kind heart. She knows ow to brighten your day. They are the best friend that everyone wish  they have. Truly, these 2 girls helped me to be a better person & friend. I have changed so much (for the better) since I met them. I used to be so shy, keep everything bottled up, let people walk all over me, and they taught me that I am special and it's okay to speak up my mind & stand up for myself. They are good influence for me. Simply said, this holiday season I count them among the many blessings I am thankful for.

With this rambling, this card shows exactly how I feel about them. And, I am entering this card for Card Creations: Favorite Occasion challenge at Moxie Fab World.

Challenges:
Woodware USA - anything goes 
Marks Finest Paper - add a bow

I love the way this card turned out. I recently found this new digital stamp company that I just totally adore. The company is A Day For Daisies. They have such sweet style and I'm so excited when I get to play with this adorable image. Love, love, love this image!

And, a quick reminder, have you send in your cards for Wee Memories "Ribbon" challenge? You have till midnight tonight to play. Hope you all have a great Friday! Cheers...
