Coffee with Friends

I wanted to share with you some pictures of a very fun morning I had yesterday.  I have spoken many times about how grateful I am for the wonderful friends I have met through my cardmaking hobby and today I got to have coffee with two of them, Joyce Mehrberg of Cards by the Sea and MaryBeth Lopez of MaryBeth's Time for Paper.  I have met Joyce in person before, but this was the first time I have been able to meet MaryBeth other than in blog land and we had such a great morning together talking about cards, kids and family.  We all exchanged little cards and gifts and I wanted to share those with you.

First, Marybeth made us some delicious honeycomb candy and presented it in a bag tied with this gorgeous tag:
They are  nearly gone now and were so delicious.

Joyce gave us some homecooked caramels in a super cute little tin decorated with snowflakes and a sweet little penguin.

She also gave me a beautiful card with lots of snowflakes and a sparkly ribbon.  Those caramels are actually gone and storebought caramels could never taste as good.

Here is a picture of the three of us:
This was a great start to my holiday vacation and I am so looking forward to getting together again sometime next summer.

What a fun morning we had. I'm smiling as I look at our picture again. How lucky I am to have two wonderful gals only hours away. I can't wait until summer.

How wonderful for all three of you. Amazing that you were able to connect and share a visit.

You all made such lovely things to exchange.

Like I told Joyce...
it'll take me 4 days to drive but I'll be at the next one...
giggle!
I would be there in a heartbeat if I could...
you know that!
I'm so glad you get to get together with them...
Joyce is such a doll...
and Marybeth...
I don't know her that well but I just like her!
And I'm also very jealous that y'all get to get together!
The cards and treats look and sound wonderful!
I have that stamp that Marybeth used...
I've never used it...
I may have to rectify! :)
