I'm here joining in Julie's Blogoversary! I'm sure you are here hopping along and celebrating with her!
If you are, then, YES, you're here.
If you want to start at the beginning, start at Julie's blog!
There isn't much more fun than spending a Friday, chatting and visiting with friends, right!
And we're celebrating all weekend long to give you plenty of time to visit all of us and share your stories of friendship and craft!
Stamping and scrapbooking has a way of bringing friends together, doesn't it? It does for me. In fact, my best friends (and some of my oldest friends) were brought together because of this art form.
Blog Candy
I'm one of the folks offering blog candy in celebration of the hop! So, leave me a comment telling me one of your stories of friendship and crafting and you'll be eligible for some crafty goodness!
(That I don't have a picture of...because it's a secret....and, well, I haven't put it together yet either!)
I'll announce it on Monday. And then you'll get to see!
I hope you'll take the time to join in celebration with Julie and the rest of us to celebrate her first year of blogging. I, for one, have had so much fun visiting her blog, looking at her wonderful creations, and getting to know her. Julie's cards are not only beautiful, but are always so heartfelt. One of the qualities I admire so much about her is her thoughtfulness and bright spirit. It really shines through in how devoted she is to visit, comment, and keep up with all her bloggy friends!
I hope she blogs for a long long time!
NEXT UP
Have a great crafty Friday!
And have a cupcake!

One of my best friends Jo and I met through scrapbooking when I lived in the US. Now six years later we scrap together on Skype and challenge each other in creative ways. Although I'm now in Australia not even the distance can fade our bond.
I have a shop/studio with just the best group of crfty customers who are also now friends. I love planning and teaching because I always get such positivity from them.

None of my friends really scrapbook much but my kids Grade 1 teacher does!We have become friends through our scrapbooking.She's a wonderful person and a breast cancer survivor.
Most of my creating is done alone, and I think I do my best work that way. A few times a year I go to "crop night" in a neighboring town with a couple friends. I never seem to get much done. Or what I make needs to be re-done (I glue things on backwards, wrap twine around the whole card instead of just the front, etc) because I'm too busy talking, and not concentrating on what I'm doing. But I do enjoy it.
Thanks for hopping with me this weekend, and thanks for your friendship! I look forward to watching it bloom -- in pink, and blue, and many other colors, too!
My bestie is a jewelry maker and it's wonderful how creativity knows no boundries!
I love finding new friendships through crafting. I meet some of the nicest people through scrapbooking crops and reatreats. :-)

My stamping pal story... how fun it was to get to meet in person to an online friend. She and I both attended a stamp convention in Carson, CA. She called my hotel room the morning we were to meet at the convention. I had never heard her voice before that and was surprised to hear she had quite a southern drawl. A bit later, at the convention, we still hadn't connected. I heard a lady sitting near to me start talking, and there was that drawl! So we finally got to meet!

My crafty friends are my same diehard dog people friends. We came together through our dog sports, and discovered that we like crafting too. What could be better than crafting part of the day,then taking a break to take all the dogs for a walk or a swim?
I am blessed to have many stories of friendship. One that I am especially thankful for is the day I posted for my first Friends With Flair. That is how I "met" you and Julie. You each have provided me with amazing inspiration over the months and I thank you!!!
My story starts with a passion for scrapbooking and preserving my family memories. Sadly, none of my close friends share my enthusiasm for paper crafts so I usually create in my little space at home. But, I love getting together with people and creating together so I sometimes go to events. The best thing that happened to me and opened up my scrappy world was finding Crop Chocolate and making some wonderful friends who share in my passion.
