Friendship

If you have friends that you can not see for years then reconnect with as if you just saw them the day before then you are truly blessed! Recently my husband and I reconnected with some friends we hadn't seen in at least 6 years. The reunion was wonderful!

It was as if we had just seen them last week! We picked up where we had left off on conversations the last time we had spoken and reignited a wonderful friendship.

The 4 of us had met on a cruise in 2003. We were seated at the same dinner table every night with 4 other people which made for very interesting dinner conversations. Ron, Maria, Mike and I immediately liked each other, frequently spent time together during the cruise, and made arrangements to cruise together for the next 6 years. While we live in different states we kept in touch via phone and email, remembered each other's birthdays and at Christmas, visited each other's homes, and reunited each February.

Then life happened and we were not able to cruise together the 7th year. We slowly began to lose touch with each other. There was still the occasional phone call or email, but they weren't as frequent as they had been. 

Thankfully, Ron contacted us about their most recent cruise and mentioned that they would love to see us. We immediately jumped at the opportunity and had a wonderful time together. The Regal Princess and other friends that we brought along may never be the same because of the jokes and stories that flew around our breakfast and dinner tables each day, but we are surely enriched by the experience.

Friendship is a precious gift that needs to be nurtured and not taken for granted.

Wedding Accessories

Wedding season is coming quickly and brides are always looking for that unique item that will make their wedding stand out. Surprise them with one of Cruisin' Creations heirloom garters.

What is so special about these garters? It is the bride's garter on wedding day then becomes her baby girl's Christening Headband on Christening Day. If she has a boy instead of a girl she can give it to his bride for her wedding day. It is a priceless heirloom to be handed down from one generation to the next. A special poem is included with each garter and each garter is shipped in a white organza string bag.

Each garter is made to order with Swarovski crystals, synthetic pearls, or glass seed beads. You decide!
