Friends are the flowers in our life garden! They are each special and must always be thought of and taken care of. When I say taken care of, I mean take care of their heart, their feelings, their pride and their feelings about themself. Does that make sense? A friend is someone you can count on to be there when you need them and to be there when you don't need them - they are a very very important part of my life - my life wouldn't be the same without my friends. Thank you for being my friend.

Christy, hello sweetie!! I don't even know where to beging! You have always and I mean ALWAYS been here for me - even if we go months between contacting each other, all I have to do is send an email and you reply back to me instantly! wowsers it is a wonderful thing to know that I have a friend like you, a friend that is always there for me.

You know Christy, you are the person that got me playing around with pixeling, you are the sole person responsible for this 'addiction' of mine .. this pixeling stuff! I have always admired your creativity .. generosity .. and great big heart that you have. I remember when I first met you in some sigtag group, can't remember which one now .. lol .. and I used to think how the heck does this woman make so many wonderful sigtags for everyone all of the time? wow.. she's good!! But you know what, you are not good .. you are FANTASTIC!!

I remember a little over a year ago, I had not been involved in the graphic stuff for quite some time, had been really down in the dumps with some health issues I had going on, my cell phone rang .. and woohoo it was my friend Christy on the other end of the cell phone -- you gave me the gentle push I needed to get back to graphics, you knew that graphics were my type of 'escapism' and that I needed them and the friends involved in the graphic community to get myself up out of the dumps I had fallen into (feeling sorry for myself and silly things like that) - you are the one Christy .. you are my hero and I just hope that at some point in my life that I will be able to help you even if just a little bit - help you to know how important you are to me and I am sure to others in our internet world - as well as in our real world! Thank you so much Christy for all that you have done for me over the years and I sure hope that we will always remain friends and be there for each other!

Below are some of the special gifts that Christy has given to me over the years :

I love this lighthouse sigtag that Christy made for me, she knows me sooo well, she knows my love of anything to do with water/sealife and I have a special love for lighthouses! Didn't she do a wonderful job in creating this beautiful sigtag for me? I think so, thank you Christy!

and here is one of the first sigtags that Christy made for me many years ago - again a wonderful lighthouse!!

Now the sigtag below is one of the first sigtags that Christy made for me, this is when she first began doing the pixel painting, and it is what got me interested in this wonderful technique of graphic painting. If you will notice this tag has Jules Designs on it (my original website which I closed a few years ago) - isn't this a wonderful sigtag? I love it!

Thank you Christy - for being the wonderful person you are and for always being there when I scream for help! lol .. you have no clue how much I appreciate all that you have done for me and all that you continue to do. You are one special lady and I am so proud to have you as my friend! Love ya! :-)
