After I started my blog a couple of years ago, I began getting lovely comments from a very sweet woman named Brenda Wilkinson. She visits my blog often, and I visit hers. We share a love of card making. A few months ago, we realized that we live about 20 minutes away from each other, and that brings me to today. I was able to meet her in person. We had a lovely lunch and conversation at Cheddar's. After phone calls and e-mails, it was fun to finally get together. She even brought me a goodie bag full of fun surprises. I'm so grateful for the wonderful people that have been brought into my life by the passion we all share for paper crafting. I wish we had gotten a picture, but didn't think about it until we were in the parking lot and getting ready to leave.....maybe next time.
Here is a link to Brenda's blog, if you would like to pay her a visit.
Isn't this wonderful? Card making.....sharing....making new friends!!! So glad you met up, definitely should have gotten a photo! :) I have so many dear, dear friends (you included) that I may never meet, BUT love them as if they (and you) lived next door! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky girl! I remember how pumped I was when I met Nancy. So much fun to finally meet someone that you have deleopled an online relationship with. When you do, you are not disappointed. Oh the lovely friendships we can make over coffee and paper. Love you my friend! So glad I found you.
ReplyDeleteI've arrived here from Brenda's blog. How lovely for you to meet and what a coincidence that you live so close - it's a small world! I've just had a look at some of your gorgeous creations - so much inspiration. I'll be sure to visit your blog again. xx
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that must have been for you & Brenda. I never dreamed that sharing my hobby of card making would lead to so many wonderful friends. I may never meet them in person but I treasure each and every one.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! This is exactly how Cheryl and I became friends...except she lives an hour away! This craft is such fun, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't that wonderful that you got to meet? I so often wish I could meet all of you, my dear, dear online friends. Aren't we so blessed and fortunate to know each other? And yes, DEFINITELY take a pic next time!!!
ReplyDeleteWe both posted about the same thing! I so enjoyed our visit and can't wait to meet again. I love seeing people that meet up over blogging and forming such great friendships. There are also wonderful friendships with gals you don't ever get to meet in person.
