"You are never a burden.. don't ever think that. Friends need each other to pick them up when they are down and I would do nothing less. "
Dawn Drover~ Twisted Sister

A Million Dollar Friend is the kind of person who instinctively knows what it means to be a good friend; this kind of person makes you look forward to the days ahead and fondly remember the days that have passed. ~ A Nice Place In The Sun


And let me just say that, to me, the people I list below are Million Dollar Friends because they are always there with a good word and a cheery greeting. They are kind and thoughtful people who brighten my day every day. I know if I call on them for help or advice they'd respond without hesitation.~ maryt/theteach
Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things. ~Napaboaniya/Elaine

Dawn Oldham's Webinar

Last week I participated in Dawn Oldham's Webinar. It highlighted tips and tricks on the Creative Memories Digital Software! I purchased it from my local CM Consultant BUT I don't have it yet. I can't wait to try it! Especially after following along during Dawn's Webinar. She is a great presenter and multi-tasker! You could watch or watch and listen at the same time by calling a number. It was supposed to last about an hour but it lasted more like an hour and a half which was TOTALLY fine with me because I learned a LOT! There were OVER 800 people watching this Webinar at the same time! HOW FUN! Dawn also directed us to a Font site which I still need to check out but I thought I would post it for others to see in case you are interested or looking! It's dafont.com.
