This is not a photo of me and my best friend Gisela, but it sure could be. It's a greeting card that so captures us as little princesses at our best. Me the curly haired brunette and her the cool blonde. I was captivated when I saw it.

Supplies: AnnaArtPlayPalette Lush, frame from Flergs. Fonts are PencilBox and Brubeck.

Quote from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran (edited for length). I used to read this beautiful passage when we initiated new members into my sorority, Delta Delta Delta. It is so moving:

And the youth said, Speak to us of friendship. And he answered, saying: Your friend is your need answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. He is your board and your fireside, for you come to him with your hunger and you seek him for peace.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not; for that which you love in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain...

And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness...

And in the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
