Can you believe its July!!!!!!!!!. Here we are once again with another Dueling Darlings Challenge. I really, really, really love this kit. Why, because Laura our fantastic hostess sent us the most adorable, simple, but totally lovable kit. She sent us fabric flowers, buttons, one of my favorite designer paper "October Afternoon" and our stamped image Gardening Flopsey "My Favorite Image Stamp" is so adorable with a poignant sentiment(You're the cream of the crop). I cannot continue on with what else she sent. If you would look at my card, I used everything but the Ladybug button and a few other items, I made a second card from this kit.(The first for me)
We were given another challenge to say something about someone we have a great friendship. My best friend and I have been friends since we were thirteen years old. We were maid of honors at each other weddings, godparents to each other kids, go on vacation together, etc. What makes our friendship so unique, we are so different from each other except for reading books. She loves TV and can tell you about majority of the shows on TV, me you can count on one finger how many shows I watch on TV. I'm a commited hobbyist, she does not do any types of craft, she loves, loves to cook. I can take it or leave it. (I'm learning how to cook). I love the Chicago Botantical Gardens, Morton Arboretum, etc, she can take it or leave it.
However, we talk a minimum of twice a week, we always go on a trip, take in a movie, go to breakfast, lunch or dinner and just have girl fun.
Brenda and I have been friends for over fourty years and I wouldn't trade her friendship for anything else.
Please look to your left for the rest of the Dueling Divas and then click on Ranger's and you must visit the Dazzlers.
