. . . gracias frani . . .

. . . everyone should be so lucky
{at least once in their life}
as to have a next~door neighbor
like frani . . .
. . . we were partners in crime
through more crafting shenanigans
than you can shake a stick at . . .
. . . she was always the glue gun whiz . . .
. . . i was in charge of sewing . . .

. . . remind me sometime to tell you about:
•the time a bunch of us
stayed up pretty much all night
making framed pictures
of victorian houses
out of fabric and trims
•the time we stayed up
pretty much all night
making gingerbread man wreaths
•the time we
bought a special machine
that applies metal picks
to silk flowers
•the time we made
who knows how many
flower arrangements
to sell at a boutique
•the time she introduced me
to the orange county swap meet
•the time{s}
she caught drew and brad
tinkling outside
•the time she played matchmaker
for amelia and tyler
•etc
•etc
•etc
•and then the time
she showed up at my house yesterday
with this darling jellybean topiary
she whipped up for easter



. . . it's getting a little crowded here . . .
. . . since now we have
a february
mary engelbreit calendar page . . .
. . . a jellybean easter topiary . . .
. . . then to make things
a little more confusing . . .
. . . i thought i'd throw in
our st. patrick's day
double rainbow fruit plate . . .



. . . seriously ~ i miss
having frani right next door . . .
. . . those were the good ol' days . . .

Life wouldn't be complete without that lady. She's the best. I'm still laughing 5 minutes later that you used the word "tinkling".
