I am so excited about being a part of the Scraps of Color Celebrate Sistahood Blog Hop! If you are following along the hop, then you just came from Patricia's wonderful blog!
This is going to be a fantastic three days, and I can't wait share my projects with you. For my first post of the weekend, I thought that I would share a little bit about the sista-bond that inspired me to join and create for this hop in the first place.
Always Sisters, Always Friends
These are my two very best friends in the entire world- my sistas! Biologically, I am an only child, but I have been extremely blessed to have had some wonderful friends in my life. Growing up, I had plenty of friends who I was happy to claim as my family, but it wasn't until I met Brandi (in the middle) and Lornetta (on the left) that I truly understood the concept of God-given friends.
The three of us met in college and within months of meeting, we quickly became inseparable friends. We supported each other through boring classes, tough finals, and homesickness. Even after Brandi transferred to another college, we remained tight. Eleven years have passed since that first year we met, and in that time we have shared joys, sorrows, initial sermons, weddings, and even funerals. Through it all we have remained closer than ever. So my participation in this hop is dedicated to my sistas- the ones I thank God for every single day!
Okay, so now that all of that mushy stuff (lol) is out of the way- who's ready for some

Awwww, warm fuzzy story. TFS
I love your sister story. I have 4 friends like that. I'm closer to them than I am my bio-sisters.
Cyndi!
Thank you for sharing your sista story and what a blessing!
I hear ya! I'm an only child too and my bestie since 4th grade is still just like a sister to me!
It's funny that as you grow older and wiser, your circle of "friends" grows smaller and smaller to those who you connect with on varying levels that will last a lifetime. Sweet, sweet story. Thanks for the chance to win.

Thank you for sharing your story. I have one birth sister and one special friend sister. Even though my friend sister and I are not blood, it doesn't matter. She is my SISTER!!
We find our sisters and friends all along our life's journey, I know the specialness of those bonds.
Yes! There is nothing like a true sister! A beautiful picture of the three of you! Thanks for sharing your wonderful story!
Loved the story, thanks for sharing. Nothing like true sistah friends.
Enjoyed viewing your blog and will return.
Love the sista story. I'll be back soon. TFS and the chance to win.

I am so inspired when I hear young people talk of sistah-hood these days. Keep that attitude and based on what I've seen on your site I will be back.
What a nice picture - y'all look like you could be related "for real" - such beautiful smiles!
nice pictures, great celebration of your sista friends

Friends are definitely a blessing!
As an only child I can relate to your story. Its good to find a "sistah".
College friends seem to be the bestest. Stay strong together. Love the story.
What a great story. I don't have biological sisters; and I always wanted at least one. Fortunately, God has blessed me with many Sistahs!
Beautiful blog entry and thanks for the shout out!
(hugs)
