A Randomly Wonderful Life

Sometimes the most meaningful of friendships

start in the most unlikely of ways.

As most of my very good friends can tell you

we didn't start off being perfect fits

in fact in most cases quite the opposite

but I very much believe

that the best of friends accept you just as you are.

Many of my friends I have never actually met

we know so much of one another

but the only thing that holds us together

is this vast yet sometimes surprisingly small world

we know as cyber space.

On a rare occasion

I get the chance to meet one of my cyber friends.

yes,

it can be awkward at first

bridging the gap from this person you know only in your head

to a real living breathing person sitting across from you

eating an ice cream and making small chat.

But in time you will feel as if you've know each other for ever!

Tara and I have had the opportunity to meet twice now.

Tara and I became friends over time

as she was and continues to be my most loyal fan of my yoyo creations.

We quickly learned we had much in common

including a love for girly fashion and the world of frilly Lolita clothing.

I can't thank my lucky stars enough for bringing Tara into my life.

She is a doll, and the type of friend who likes you just the way you are!

Speaking of loving someone just as they are -

my stubborn pup Miller

is one very lucky guy

that his momma puts up with all his antics

including him sharing my pillow at night

and often leaving me with hardly any room to sleep!

One last bit of silliness I know you will all appreciate

and unlike my husband

will share my giddiness over.

Yesterday I ran into Craft Warehouse

for 2 pieces of fabric

but ended up taking home over 28 yards!

They were having a major major sale -

It was like stepping into crafting paradise!
