Friends

On New Year's Day I was thrilled to spend the afternoon with a very dear friend and her new husband.  I met Miss D when I first started scrapbooking, and we have remained friends ever since.  We live in different parts of the country and only meet up in person every couple of years.  So spending those precious few hours together at Surfers Paradise was a wonderful way to start off the year.

I thought it was fitting to use a photograph from 1st January as the subject of one of my first layouts of 2014:



I'm submitting my layout for the 'Friends Forever' theme at Scrapping Everyday Miracles.
