My friend, Connie Collins, Constantly Stamping (2011 Stampin' Up! Artisan Award Recipient) met up with my friend Lorri Heiling at Stampin' Up! Convention this year, and sent these wonderful gifts (tissue holder and watermelon card) with her to give to ME! Connie has always been one of my favorite stamping artists, and am thrilled for her to receive the highest honor of Artisan Award this year!
I had a birthday over the summer, and these are some of the wonderful hand made cards and gifts I received from special friends.

Look at this fabulous barbecue-themed gift from Lorri Heiling! She's always surprising me with over-the-top gifts, and can't believe all the time she puts in to them! For details, go to Lorri's blog, Confessions of a Stamping Addict. To tell you what kind of friend she is, she traveled from Arizona to Iowa in April to attend my Mom's funeral, and I had no idea she was coming. I couldn't have even imagined that! It meant so much to have her there on one of the worst days of my life. She's just that kind of person .... ALWAYS doing for others. I am truly blessed by her friendship.
