Friends Scrapbooking

There seem to be so many quotes about friendship: “Real friendship is a rare and precious gift, strong, stable, yet fragile, and never to be taken for granted”; "Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart”, etc. Hard to quote them all - there are probably thousands of them! We talk about friendship meaning a very special feeling and a very special relationship – something similar to love and devotion. When someone asks about the best friend it’s not so easy to find an answer right away, but most of us will say that the best friend is the one you can rely on in the most challenging moments of your life. The best friend is the one who is available to listen, to give advice; the one who cares; a person you share your feelings with; a person you look up to. When you call someone your best friend you sometimes imply that it’s a large part of yourself. You learn from each other, you rely on each other, you are always available to each other. We can have lots of acquaintances, but not as many friends, and we don’t need so many. Sometimes there is just one, and the two of you share the most intimate thoughts, ideas and longings. Things happen, and you may have conflicts once in a while, but losing a friend is like losing a family member. If you feel guilty, or you want to encourage your friend, or your friend is moving away to a different part of the country think of some special token. There should be nothing really expensive. Instead, you’d better invest your feelings instead of money into the gift you are giving.

A friend scrapbook is one of the ideas – choose the best photos of the two of you, create photo collages, add your own text or use some of friends scrapbook layouts available with PhotoMix. There can be so many treasured moments the two of you shared – fun in the rain, a trip to the farm, or the day you passed your final exam. When you have a friend there are so many episodes of life you share that you just take them for granted, but when you start recalling these episodes they will make you smile, laugh or cry. Creating your best friend scrapbook you will keep these memories alive and will show your friend how much he or she really means to you. PhotoMix can be used for a variety of situations – fun memories of your college years, Girl Scout camps – anything that means you were not alone, but had your friends around. Your friends scrapbook printed out or emailed to them will extend the moments of joy and happiness. When taking regular photos things are trivial, and soon these photos will be discarded. But you will always keep your best friends scrapbook to keep your best memories. You never know what life will bring you, but even when you feel sad and unappreciated take a look at your friends scrapbook to know that you are not alone, that they will be there to help, that you have someone to share your feelings with no matter how far they are now. Cherish your friendship. "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
