A Recipe for Friendship
When I went to the retreat in Tipton, she read this before dinner. I loved it. I wanted to share it with you today.
A Recipe For Friendship
Place the ingredients in a basket and take out the corresponding item for each application.
These are the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies☺
Items Needed:
• Shortening
• Sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla
• Flour
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
• Nuts
A Recipe For Friendship
Friendships are wonderful gifts to our lives straight from God. There are several references to friendship in the Bible. I think of the relationship of David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18-20, 2 Samuel 1). Those chapters in Samuel are great reading. Jonathan and David had a great love and respect for each other. I think of how God called Abraham, “friend” (James 2:23). Moses also comes to mind. Remember how God spoke to him, “face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend” (Exodus 33:11)?
When it comes to our sisters in Christ, friendship takes on a special quality. Friendship between Christians is especially sweet because of the bond of Christ. We are enhanced by those special friendships. Building those friendships is a wonderful way to encourage and lift up others in the Lord.'
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:5,6. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. Proverbs 27:9.
Friends are one of the ways God takes care of us. We need all the things friendship entails from other human contact such as encouragement, companionship, love, honesty, loyalty, understanding, and so many more things friendship offers.
Our friendships with our sisters in Christ are like recipes of goodness for us. They bake up something special. You may have heard that saying, “In the cookies of life, friends are the chocolate chips”. Friends are that sweet extra in life and even sweeter is friendship among believers in Christ.
Why is a recipe for fellowship and friendship with our sisters in Christ is so Important? Let’s check out the ingredients and see what they do.
Sisters In Christ Friendship Recipe
• Shortening - Provides texture. Our fellowship and friendship with our sisters in the Lord can add much depth and texture to our lives. We blend together in unity as part of the body of Christ.
• Sugar - Adds sweetness. Our fellowship with our sisters adds such a sweet taste to our lives. If we didn't have sugar in our cookies, we'd sure miss it. The same is with our fellowship with our sisters. We can't leave it out of our lives.
• Eggs - Holds ingredients together. Sisters in the Lord are someone to lean on. We are held together by fellowship with them. We are stronger because of them, their prayers, and their love in the Lord. We have a special bond in Christ.
• Vanilla - Adds flavor. Sisters add that flavor we need. They give us that extra sensation. Without friends and fellowship we become kind of bland.
• Flour - Adds substance. We need the substance a sister in the Lord can add. They give us many things by way of mentoring us when we don't even know it. Their shared testimonies and way they live their lives has an impact on us.
• Baking Soda – Leavens. Leavening agents in baking helps to lighten the dough. Friendship with our sisters in Christ lightens our burdens through their prayer and encouragement.
• Salt - Enhances flavor. We know that friendships add flavor and just when we need it, they help improve the tastefulness and quality of our lives. Friends are the type of people that know just what we are going through and are there when we need them.
• Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips - The kind of chocolate chips we normally add to our cookies is semi sweet. Our sister friends tell us what they feel and think and that's okay. They can be honest and truthful to us. “Iron sharpeneth iron" (Proverbs 27:17).
• Nuts...Optional - Just a little craziness in a sister friend is great! Sometimes a little zaniness in our friends can be just the ingredient we need.
Conclusion:
Friendships take a lot of time and effort to bake up but they are worth it when we sense that sweet aroma and special bond that they bring.
Friends that have Jesus in common will have lasting relationships, not just here on earth, but will dwell with Christ together throughout eternity.
“A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24.
I wonder if I’m the type of friend that I should be to others, especially to my sisters in Christ. Am I doing all those things that I should be doing, like lifting burdens, adding flavor, helping hold things together with my prayers, and all those other things? I hope I can improve in this area.
So, is your life a good recipe for friendship?

"Next Besties" by Betty Bee
We all love that sharp embossed edge that Nestabilities give their die cuts, but sometimes they don't have the size or shape that we might need. Betty Bee, from Betty Bee's Buzz has found a way to use the Cuttlebug, and her Cricut (or you can use any cutting system) to create "Next Besties", because they are the next best thing! I hope this will give you some ideas so that you can create something fabulous!

Treasured Memories 17 hour Crop
This was so cool! It was 7 hours on Friday, Feb. 6th and 10 hours on Saturday, Feb 7th.
Ok, so I was only there on Saturday for 10 hours, but it was great. I only got about 5 layouts done, but I got to meet some really cool ladies and a wonderful Creative Memories rep.
Since we each had an 8' table to ourselves, it was very easy to spread out and get comfortable. There was a wide variety of drinks and snacks avaiable for consumption. And there was someone there at all times if any of us needed anything.
We were able to enjoy some great Valentine's Day make-n-take tags, complete with glitter as well as some great door prizes and fun games.
I will definitely be going again!

Distress Stickles?
Yup! You read it right! DISTRESS STICKLES!
Distress Stickles was 2 years in the making because Tim Holtz wanted to find just the right look to achieve a chunky glass-like texture and nostalgic shimmer of mica...the result - pure distress! The glitter in distress stickles is not a metallic glitter like our original stickles, it has a timeless sparkle of vintage glass glitter without the glass! Accent stamped images, tags, titles or just about anything you want to glitter and shine.

We will all meet up at the Drury Inn where we will check-in, go to our rooms, unpack whatever and fight over who gets what bed. Then, we'll probably meet in the lobby bar for our 3 complimentary alcoholic drinks. Afterwards, we'll head up to the suite (which I will be bunking in with Roe and Jenn) and enjoy our complimentary popcorn and sodas while eating some awesome pizza!!!
Saturday, June 5th, we will all meet up in the hotel Dining Room for a FULL breakfast, southern style!! Complete with hash browns, eggs, bacon, pancakes and much, much more!!! From there, we will head over to the Convention where we will all split up into groups or individuals and shop, shop, shop. At lunchtime, we will all eat together there and share what we have purchased and what great deals we found and where. Then, per Trisha's suggestion, we will watch this guy peel a banana ever so slowly as he prepares our smoothies. We will, then, continue with our shopping until we are all done or the convention closes. We will finish off the day with 3 more complimentary alcoholic drinks, popcorn and sodas as we head to our suite for a slumber party where we will share all our new goodies and laugh, giggle and relive our younger days as we get into pillow fights and freeze other's undies and.....oh, hold on.....sorry.
Sunday, June 6th, we will meet up in the hotel Dining Room again for our last full breakfast and fill up for the way home. Somewhere that afternoon, either before or just after lunch, we will all break and head home.

Croppin' at the Speedway
If you are interested in sharing a few hours with your friend in a homey atmosphere to crop, chit-chat and munch, email me and I'll save a spot for you. I have room for 2-4 people.
Prices are $5, $15 or $25. You will have your own 3'-6' table (depends on how many reserve), use of a variety of items for free. Snacks and other goodies will be provided as well. I will also have a few items for purchase.
I have converted my new home office strictly for Cropping. It is an 11x10 room. You may come and go as you please. Plenty of lighting and space available. You can park on the street and I will help you load/unload your scrapbooking supplies. The cropping room is upstairs and I will happily 'valet' your items up and down the stairs while you relax and help yourself to some snacks and drinks.
I will also have a variety of 'give and take' scraps, punches, scissors, templates, die cuts, stamps, ribbons, brads and more avaiable for use. For a small fee, you can also have unlimited access to the printer and cricut machine.
I can accommodate up to four scrappers; however, you may choose to use 6' for yourself. If this is your choice, your price will slightly increase, unless only two have reserved a space. In which case, you'll get 2 spots for the price of ONE!
I will be readily available for questions and suggestions. I will also have a few idea books/magazines available for you as well.
Hope to see you soon!
Send me an e-mail! Let's see what we can do! Check out the CALENDAR below for available days and times.
Sorry, but smoking will be strictly prohibited.

WE've MOVED!!!
I have moved over to Brownsburg, Indiana, just 1/2 mile west of 267/136. Once we've completely moved to our new location and things have settled a bit, I will get the crops going again.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience and I'm so sorry to disapoint anyone. If you are looking for a place to crop until then, be sure to check out Archiver's and coming soon, Treasured Memories Retreat!!
Again, I'm so sorry for any inconvenience, but rest assured, we will be up and running again very soon! On the bright side, moving means more space to crop!!

Click the SKETCHES links for some great building blocks to create some amazing works of art. There are no actual photo sizes mentioned because these are just something to get you started; inspiration, if you will. Play around with them, turn them sideways, add some embellishments, make them your own.
Feel free to use any of the sketches and forward them to your friends. All I ask is you refer them back to this site so they can check things out as they progress. There aren't a whole lot of sketches available right now, but I plan to add more as time goes by. Come back periodically to see the changes and additions. Thanks and have fun with those sketches.

Some vendors will showcase new release products at retail pricing in a small portion of their booth space so you will find HOT DEALS and HOT PRODUCTS at the Save-A-Latte™ Shows!
This is not an expo with classes, crops, etc...this is an outlet/overstock sale with two-days full of shopping and savings! There will be space available for informal cropping so grab your friends and join us.
To inquire about being a vendor at this show, please email me at chris@lattedaproductions.com

Cornerstone Memories - October 2008
October 4-6, 2008
Cornerstone Memories
Tipton, Indiana
A few of us gals from Have Your Way With Paper are getting together at Cornerstone Memories in Tipton, Indiana.
It's a trip that has been planned for quite some time now. We will arrive Friday evening and stay overnight until Sunday afternoon. We will receive the royal treatment (as much as can be expected in the US), eat fabulous homemade food, comfy beds and great company. Oh, and some scrappy time too!
It's going to be a fun filled weekend and I can't wait for the sleepover/mini-vacation! Not to mention, getting to meet some of my online family in person!!!
Some Cool Pix from our trip!

June 2009 HYWWP 1st Annual Get Together
June 4-6, 2009
Arlington, Texas
Great American Scrapbook Convention
AIRPORT:Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) airport is said the be the easiest and quickest. Jenny said it is only 10 minutes from the hotel we were looking at (Drury Inn) and just minutes away from the Convention center. The Convention is only $9 for the day - I believe - something close to that anyway.
ACCOMODATIONS:If we chose to stay at this hotel (THE DRURY INN) we would have
*a free hot breakfast - It's really good
*free dinner each night - We only stayed one night, but we had pizza (hand made good stuff), baked potatoes with the fixings, salad, dessert, drinks - cokes, tea, coffee, whatever you wanted.
*3 complimentary drinks during happy hour - you can take them to your room.
*free internet
*free LONG DISTANCE CALLS FROM YOUR ROOM up to an hour a day!
*access to a computer/internet
*pool
Anyway, it seems like a good choice to me with the free food - we won't have to worry about anything but lunch as an expense.
I THINK the hotel runs about $100 a night I THINK...but I will look more into that and come up with a close figure...I think I can find some coupons to cut down on that.
I really can't find a house that is more convenient or accommodating, but we have time and I'm up for suggestions:)

I'm so excited about this upcoming crop! I love going there! They have big tables w/slots for cutters and such and a cup holder as well. You can bring your own Cricut or other devices. They always have fantastic snacks and plenty of drinks. Since this is only a 6h crop, they are only offering snacks and drinks, but it's always fabu!! Plus, best part is that $10 of my $15 can be used towards in-store merchandise! Woo-hoo! I so can't wait! I always have a blast and the ladies that work there and crop there are a delightful bunch! There's a link below for their calendars, phone number and more. Let me know if you're going and we can meet!

RACE PARKING
Since my parents do live so close to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, they will be parking vehicles for the Indy 500, Brickyard 400 and MotoGP Races.
You can email me at paula00750@yahoo.com to make reservations for any of these races. Please be sure to let me know your name, how many vehicles will need a space and the type of vehicle. If there are several vehicles coming together I will reserve your spots so you are all able to get out at the same time. I will make sure to relay this information to my parents.
The following prices are for regular vehicles only. Campers and large vehicles like that will depend on how large and if electricity and water usage is necessary. You're looking at $10 the day before the race and $20 the day of the race. If you would like to stay the weekend and camp out, it's $45 (this would include water and electricity usage - if this is not necessary, $35).
All I ask in return is a simple "Thank You" and a reference back to this site.
I hope to see you for the next race!! You'll have a blast
