Grateful

The Challenge at Once Upon A Sketch http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/ at the moment is to do a layout about Yourself or a Female in your life. I have done a layout about my Best friend of over 30 years. We met at Tafe and have been friends ever since. I am so grateful that Leanne came into my life and she certainly has helped me be the person I am today. We had so many good times when we were young and carefree. She could make me laugh until I could hardly breathe. As the years have gone on we have shared all the ups and downs of life. I know that she is always there for me, will listen to all my ramblings, always says just the right thing and make things seem not nearly as bad as I am imaging (yep I'm the drama queen).  She knows all there is to know about me, I can and do, tell her everything. She knows my secrets, my joys, my fears, my history. I thank God for sending her to me way back when.



I have hidden journalling that is slotted in the side of the pic. The journalling says ~ God knew I needed a friend like you . My life would not have been near as Happy. You can make me laugh till my stomach hurts. We have had some fun times. You know all there is to know about me. I can talk to you about anything and you always give me good advice. You Balance me. You are caring , funny and simply the Best Friend ever.

I have used Kaiser Bonjour Range of PP, very wet and cloudy here today, so not such a great day for taking pics.
No Random Fact today, as I think I have told you a little about myself with this post anyway, about how I have the best friend in the world and how we met.
Wishing you Sunshine and smiles and don't forget to visit Scrapthatsong Blog http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com/ and join in on this months challenge

Cheers
Mary x
PS I love to receive some blog loving

Mary this LO is divine - I LOVE it!! Your LO's are just stunning!! I had to take my mum over to Victoria today to hospital about 1 1/4 hrs away. She has to have fluid drained from around her lung. They didn't pick it up at our hospital here nearly 2 months ago!! At least over there she is with her lung specialist. She has her operation on Friday - so we are all hoping that she copes well with the anaesetic (can't spell it!!). Just wanted you to know. xx

I saw your LO at OUA..S & had to come peek ~ love your blog look & love this LO, especially those little pieces showing thru around the edges... I'm a Francophile, sort of, so this is right up my alley:):)

wow. Mary this is so pretty. You are very lucky to have such a good friend. When I was working a Kaisercraft, and first saw this collection being made, you were the first person to come to mind. How 'YOU' is this collection :) Have a great weekend my friend xx
