Just know that even though I am late, I ALWAYS enjoy the event!!!!
Anyhooooo....I could not be negative about gifts, so I decided to tell you about the BEST gift(s) I have received.......and they are the wonderful friends I have collected through my journey in life, those who live close and those who live far.....those who I have met face-to-face, and those I have not......I am so blessed.....what better gift could one receive......and they only get better with the years.
By the way...isn't this 'Old Brawd' just the best????
Thanks for looking.

LOL! Thanks for the chuckle, and the Old Brawd is truly amazing!! You are so right....friends here are the best at lifting our spirits, sharing our joys and sorrows, and being there 24/7. What a pleasure this site is for us all. I love having you for a friend, Joanne!

How lovely! You're so right about friends being a gift. I love this image - I hadn't seen it before today and now I have seen it twice in today's gallery! The sentiment gave me a real chuckle! The colours on your card are just great, and I love all the paper piercing too!

First of all, I just love this card!!! With the texture, piercing and bling, it's just awesome! That red hat lady is marvelous and the pretty red bow is the perfect touch! Love the layout and colors you chose!
I totally agree with you that our friends are such a blessing! I have met many wonderful friends online, some of them in person, too. We're in our own little world here with our keyboards and monitors, but it's so nice to be able to add to our list of friends!! Thanks so much for coming to the Tea Party! I love your card and the sweet thought behind it!!!

Hey, SnoSnot! I remember this Old Brawd; ain't she cool? She looks like she might be headin' off to a Red Hat Tea Party!! Love that gorgeous bow.
I, too, must echo your friendship sentiments: you're a dear one!!
Bertie's been runnin' rampant with her snowballs. She'll probably surprise you with a sneak attack later on, but, for now, she asked me to send this link to ya:
