| I went to KC WIllis' class about three weeks ago and started this altered book. Many in the class finished but my friend Jan and I were left in the dust! SO, after getting home from California and being around all those creative women, I decided to come home and finish this book. My theme was cowgirl girlfriends. It was hard to find photos of groups of cowgirls! |
 |
| These photos are terrible! I used iron on sheets which are too glossy for my taste but it's what we were using in class so I did too. Any suggestions for iron on sheets that are not glossy? |
 |
| I used different friendship poems, some that I wrote. I got a little carried away with all the fabrics but it was hard to stop adding. I just couldn't decide what photos to use so I used them all. |
 |
| I found one of those old crosses they use to give us in the Methodist Church! I thought I would go ahead and use it, I keep saving too many things that I never use. |
 |
| The poem on this page was mine: "When others watched my hand shake, you held it. When I feel like I'm walking through sand, you smooth it. When I cry at moments of no sence, you console me. When I lose my way, you drive me. When my body took a different path, you paved it. When I gave you my friendship, you held it." |
 |
| This was another one I wrote: "There are days when I feel I have nothing left, Like it's all been taken by an ill mannered guest. I find myself looking to see through the forest and the trees, to see who is left standing beside me. I see you there like an oak with roots to the core, offering your branches, helping me soar. Sometimes when my soul feels like a ghost, you offer your hand when I need you most. So I tell you this between us two, my life has been made better by meeting you." |
 |
| "I hope to be friends forever, you and me. Because you want to be around me no matter what you see. A true friend hold you in their heart, like a wounded dove protecting you, wings folded and giving fate a shove. When I get down I know you're there, if only in my thoughts, I feel your strength to move ahead, sad days I have fought. I see you as a beacon of smiles, comfort and always laughter, I love you today, I love you tomorrow and into the ever after." |

| Can you believe how thick it is?! I love it! Thanks for letting me share. xoxox-cindy |
