Fun with a Friend!

I had a family reunion on the other side of the state which happened to be mere minutes from my good friend, Shelly. (EXCELLENT planning, Mom!)

So Shelly whisked me away for shopping and a YUMMY lunch!   We also exchanged goodies!  This is what I had for her:

On the left  is a package of M & M Premiums (Mocha flavor) and on the right is a box in a bag (tutorial here).  I used my new 29th Street Market Paper -the *Spirit* line (MME) on this--Yummo stuff!!

And this is what she had for me:

Anyone who knows me at all, knows I am a bit disorganized,  and so I tend to lose stuff.  Before I moved in June, I had been missing my bone folder (for about 2 years).  In packing up the house, I found it in the front hall coat closet--I don't even WANT to know how it got there.  Well, last week, it went missing again.  So Shelly created the UN-LOSABLE bone folder.  Isn't it cool!?!?  She used alcohol inks to make it look REALLY cool!  Her dh drilled the hole.  Thanks Shelly!!

Well, it being a family reunion, mom and her sister wanted pictures taken.  Shelly graciously agreed to help with the photo taking so everyone could be in the picture!  What a good friend--to take pictures of my insane family!!  MANY PICTURES!!  Here she is in action:

and here we both are:

Friends are GOOD!!
