I know few writers personally but need to surround myself with intelligent, supportive, creative people who constantly strive to make positive changes in their personal life and who also attempt to positively affect others. Some of my friends scrap, some know and understand gems, virtually all are voracious readers, and some make cards (as I do whenever I have "spare" time).
I was Blessed to meet one such person almost two years ago, and she is a crafter extraordinaire. That has now been proven as she was just notified one of her cards is being published in the April 2010 issue of Scrap & Stamp Arts.
Go over to GottHeartArt and see some wonderous eye candy! Beverly has been a talented crafter her entire life and her card designs run the gamut from cute and cuddly to clean and simple and into the lavish and elegant depending on her mood. She's also been a featured/guest designer on several card making blogs, and is the current guest designer of the month at Creative Inspirations.
During NaNoWriMo last November, when I honestly wondered how I could ever accomplish 50K in 30 days, she was the best cheerleader a friend could ever desire. Even now, when I worry about the direction my novel is taking or the time it is taking to finish, no matter how busy (or how sick) she is, she makes sure I know I have someone in my creative corner cheering me to the finish line.
In an age when so many seem to interpret the Golden Rule as "Let me get them before they get me", it is very refreshing to have honest, supportive friends, and it is wondrous to see those friends be recognized for the quality of their work...
Congratulations, Beverly--here's to greater success in the future for you and your cards!
Wow,you made me cry, what a fabulous friend you are to give me such accolades, thank you so much. True friendship is very rare!
