You're My BFF!

I still can't believe that acronym is a part of our normal language but alas change is a good thing :) It's funny though because I really get on my children for using "slang" because I honestly believe that it pure laziness. Well here I am loving this new stamp set called Best Friends Forever! It has some amazing images on it on it and I do believe the BFF fits in so well. Credit must be given to my upline Michelle Nicholson for the design of the card!
