A treasure

The first word that comes to mind when I think of my dear friend Michelle is treasure. I feel like I struck gold when i met her a little over a year ago.  She has the most generous heart and caring spirit, a person I would not hesitate to pour my heart out knowing that she is listening without judgement.  I am fortunate enough to not only have Michelle as a dear friend, but she is also my Stampin' Up Upline.  This past Saturday she held an appreciation afternoon at her home for her downline and her workshop hosts.  the afternoon was filled with laughter, food, games and prizes and some amazing Make and Takes. 

    With all that is going on with my mother's health and trying to care for her, my own family, work and go to school my heart has felt heavy and I often find myself alone and reaching for a hand to hold!  The Lord knew what He was doing when he gave me this gift of friendship for Michelle has been there to hold my hand without even knowing it.  I only wish that I pause and say Thank You more often!  I did manage to surprise her with a little Friendship frame in a hand stamped bag. 

Thanks for popping by!  I appreciate all of your comments!
