Best friends forever

A while back a friend sent me a gift and when I was thinking of what I could post today and was looking around the house, and I thought I could share a photo with you.

The very sweet box with a lovely vintage flower and tulle and some wish tickets.
Look at what my sweet friend Aleta gave me ~ the most precious pendant with a sweet girl and teddybear and the words ~ 'Best friend forever".

I was thinking about all the wonderful friends I have made through my blog and just want to say thank you for the joy and support I have had, from you all.
I truly am blessed to have, the sweetest friends ever.

Gratitude is the hearts memory
~ French Proverb

Hope that you are having a lovely week.
Hugs
Carolyn

  1. What wonderful gifts from your friend. I love blogging and have met some wonderful people who I now call friend :) My baby Bear is actually a Labradoodle, his mom was a standard poodle and his dad was a labrador. It is so hard to lose a pet. . .I lost my cat after 9 years and still miss him.
    No snakes where you live!! I'm going to start packing right now and move to where you live :)
    Hugs,

  10. Carolyn I would bet that you have good friends because you are a good friend.

    I too think of Bella every day. I love her so much.

    It isn't fair, but nothing is I guess.

I am going to try to see the front of the card by enlarging it. I would love to try to draw a little angel like that! ENJOY your day!
