It's a funny thing how friendships begin...
My friendship with Sally began with an e-mail.
It seems that Sally saw a journal page I had created and asked if I could customize it for her. She inspired me to create more journal pages. Sally loves to scrapbook and makes beautiful ones.
From there we e-mailed back and forth until...
it became a daily event. She blesses my life every day, and then the other day...
a package arrived, and wrapped in pink were wonderful gifts.
A beautiful bookmark
There was a beautiful bracelet in silver hearts with gold accents.and a lovely book about God's Grace.
A Scrapbook filled with pages and pages of handcrafted pages,
Each page is beautifully embellished with loving touches.
Sally, thank you for your lovely gift of friendship, and for all of these amazing treasures. I was reading the book about God's Grace tonight and tucked my new bookmark inside. I will think of you every time I wear this gorgeous bracelet. My new scrapbook is sitting on my desk, so that I can open up to any page, any day and remember what a blessing you are in my life.
Today is Pink Saturday and Bev from How Sweet The Sound has a host of wonderful posts for you to see, so please stop by.The song for this post is It Began With A Letter

Karen....thank you for your gift of friendship and for the many blessings you bring to my life! You are such a joy and a treasure to me and you bring so many smiles to my day.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. I love your box of goodies you received. How fun!

You were greatly missed today. I hope that you are feeling better. Betty has some good stuff going and I even had a few breakthroughs. Maybe we can do a little road trip this week. Just get out there and breathe in some fresh air.
Oh it is wonderful when you find a friendship like that. I am really happy for both of you. you are both very talented woman. god bless.
Dearest Karen, I have to say that you are one of my "oldest" (not in age!) blogging pals. You have been with me since I started blogging, and I am grateful for the friendship that has developed between us; YOUR generosity with helping me find my talents and not being afraid to just use them for enjoyment has enriched my so much. When I was done with drawing (I gave it up 40 years ago), you and a few other blogger pals just snatched me right up and encouraged me to use it in whatever capacity. I find that the best way to approach it is with fun and love, and it has been a wonderful journey. What would we do without friends.....
Love you dearest, Anita
How thoughtful people are...thanks for sharing with us on Pink Saturday!!

Well, this post just put the capitals in Happy Pink Saturday!!! I LOVED this tribute to your friend and the relationship you two have developed through cyberspace! It is amazing how we can connect with people we've never met in real life. I some times reflect on how "limited" my life was before I fell into the world of blogging.
Thank you for this delightful share! Sally is certainly a talent..just like you!

Was that not that most wonderful thing? Friends are such a blessing and many times they are God's Hands in our lives, offering comforting touches and reminding us we are thought of always! Just lovely Karen, thanks for sharing that special moment....

The friendships I have found through blogging have been such a blessing in my life! I count you as one of those friends Karen. I can see that Sally does too:>)
Thank you for sharing.
Happy Pink Saturday.
Hi Karen,
Happy Pink Saturday. Thank you for sharing your lovely story about your friendship with your blog friend. Friendships are so special and precious and yours and Sally's is a beautiful one.
Have a lovely day.

Dear Karen,
This is such a beautiful posting - thank you so much for sharing your wonderful friendship with all of us! What lovely gifts and made even more so because they come from the heart and are meant to inspire you and make you feel good about each moment!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog (and for following along!:) I am so glad to have found you!

PS You asked about the name Nicholas... It comes from the Greek name "Nikolaos" and it means "victory of the people!" Isn't that just perfect for St. Nicholas? If ever a man stood up for people it was this one!
Oh, this is just perfect Karen. We have no way of knowing just how or if we affect someone's life with the comments or posts we bring to the internet. You have the knowledge to know that you gave joy and friendship to someone that has become very special to you. That is a gift that is working both ways to enrich your lives each day. Happy Pink Saturday, this was a lovely post. Char
What a sweetheart Sally is... Thank you for sharing the treasures she sent you. Friendship itself, of course, is the greatest treasure.
Awww, how sweet. How wonderful to have such a great friend!
Hugs, LisaKay
Hi Karen beautiful post and share...HPS
Hi Karen,
You are indeed blessed by such wonderful gifts from your friend, each one so pretty and thoughtful too. Friendship is precious! I like the quote by John Hay, "Friends are the sunshine of life." And indeed they are. Thank you for sharing your lovely post with us today and Happy Pink Saturday to you.
Blessings,
Sandi
Karen, friends are indeed a real blessing, and what gorgeous gifts from one of yours...enjoy them all x
Oh dearest Karen, Your comment means so much to me; yes, at any time of the day, night or morning, you can find a comment, visit a friend, and be inspired and it has made such a difference. In January, it will be two years since I have been blogging and the opportunities and dreams just keep presenting themselves. Have a lovely Sunday dearest friend. Anita
What a lovely post for Sally. Thank you for sharing the sweet things she sent you on Pink Saturday.
Hi Karen, this post is so lovely and your friendship with Sally is very special. Thank you for sharing your charming gifts from your dear friend. I have always loved Edgar Guest's poem 'A Friend' It is obvious she shares your special friendship with you as well.
I love Marina. She is a darling woman and has art talent like you.
Warm hugs, Jeanne
