Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, "What! You too? I thought I was the only one"
~unknown
When I started blogging, I never expected to get to know anyone...let alone, make friends. I thought I would read some blogs, get a few craft ideas and keep a journal for myself. Well, in the eight short months that I've been blogging...I have managed to get to know a few women that I can call actually call my friends. And even though we think of ourselves as "blog friends"....I have high hopes of actually meeting them someday!
One friend in particular that I have really enjoyed getting to know is Nicolle. You can find her blog HERE. Nicolle loves to cook and try new recipes like me, and we both have an only child. We have emailed back and forth and shared our private stories of having an only child. We admitted to each other that reading blogs of those who have lots of children sometimes leaves us feeling a tad envious. (Just sometimes!) We are both so very thankful to get to be the moms of both our boys!
I made a comment on Nicolle's blog a couple of weeks ago about a picture she had taken. Nicolle takes AWESOME pictures...especially of her sweet little boy. She also takes lots of other fun pictures...like this one:
I told Nicolle that I could see this picture on a box of notecards! I would buy them if I saw them in the store! The other day, I got a package in the mail from guess who?! Nicolle sent me these:
Is she sweet or what? The cards are so cute!
Thanks so much Nicolle!
I absolutely LOVE the cards you made for me!
I'm so glad we're friends!

That's awesome! They do make really good notecards don't they? Making bloggy friends is something I didn't expect either, but it's been so wonderful getting to know other women from across the country.
By the way, when I saw the title to your post & the thumbnail picture I thought you were going to say that you've become a coffee drinker. :)
GIRL, you made me cry this morning. Thank you for saying such sweet things. I feel the same way...I've made some friends from blogs that I wish I could just bundle up and we could all be neighbors/best friends. You are one of those! I'm so glad you love the cards. I was happy to make them for you! :)
You're right..they are awesome note cards!
So sweet of her to send them to you!
Love bloggy friends.
You are one of mine!
Those ARE awesome notecards! Isn't it wonderful to have lovely friends in your life?
Those cards are great!! and what a sweet thing to do!
Maybe you need ones with Diet Mt. Dew instead of coffee??
Gotta love friends, especially bloggy friends!
These are wonderful! How blessed you are to have met her! I agree I haven't been blogging very long, just since the end of June, and I have met so many amazing people! treasures for sure! Have a wonderful day!
blessings,
Jill
Nicolle is just so sweet isn't she??:)
How lucky are you to be the proud owner of those snazzy new note cards.
Bloggy friends is definitely one of the unexpected perks of this whole thing huh?
Maybe someday we will all meet in person...who knows???
Enjoy the day Kerri
oops...forgot...love the new header btw!!
Only a very special person would actually SEND the note cards! And they are adorable! The
blog world is amazing:)
That is the BEST! Love the cards and that she just up and made them for you. Yes, blogland is a nice place to hang out.
Love it!! And I love you both!
Your new notecards are so cute!!! What a sweet idea
Ah, those are really fun cards. I love the way that blogging is a way to connect to others out there. I think that in some ways, we are able to get to know each other better, because it is much easier to bare your soul when you think it is just you listening!
I love these notecards!! Yeah for Nicolle & for you!! Blogging is so cool, isn't it? Be sure to email me before you head to Mansfield! We will meet & chat & share notecards!! hugs, Cathy (and I could bring along my 3 annoying children to entertain your son!)
How sweet. I agree blog buddies are awesome! Just a note, I was an only. Onlies are pretty awesome! ;)
That was super sweet of her to send you a surprise gift!
Blogging friends really are such a wonderful bonus to this thing we all do called blogging. I don't think any of us ever intended to make good friends but isn't it wonderful that it happens!! :-D
THAT is so awesome, Kerri!!! What a cool blog friend! :)
that's so neat. what a good friend you made. I'm going to go over and check her blog out too now. i'm a mom of one little 3 year old girl too. I would love to have more but we keep debating. Anyway it was great to hear about you making frineds on here.
She's my bestie in real life. I can say...she really is the sweetest. I'm glad you know her. Her photography is amazing.
