Be a Better Friend – Creatively
Today’s creative ideas for being a better friend!
- Was it fun to receive and work with lots of creative products? (And does my basement still look like a mini Michaels?!) Sure.
- Did I enjoy being on HGTV (with the creative and kind Carol Duvall, shown below), QVC and PBS? Definitely.
- Was writing a book something I got to check off my dream board? Yep.
But, by far, the best thing about it was the creative girlfriends I met and the lasting friendships I made with some amazing women like my BFF Jill (shown here) – a superstar designer, plus girlfriends Katie Hacker, Lisa, Vicki, Renee (see below!) and many more!
Together girlfriends come up with creative solutions, create new ways to inspire each other and find fun ways to be a better friend.
Join us on Girlfriendology for a creative approach to friendship and inspiration for being a better friend because life really is better together with your girlfriends!
Put on your Walking Shoes … with your Girlfriends!
My girlfriend Terri is enjoying this month’s Girlfriendology Book Club book and so am I – are you?! It’s not only fun to read, but it’s inspiring me to get walking (and talking!) with my girlfriends! If you haven’t picked it up yet, there’s still time to read Wildwater Walking Club, this month’s Girlfriendology Book Club book.
Mark your calendar for Memorial Day Night! Monday, May 31st, 7-9pm EST when we’ll chat online about this book with the fabulous author Claire Cook! And stop by Girlfriendology (and our Facebook page) to recommend books for some summer reading and our June/July Book Clubs!

* What to be more creative? Spend time with your girlfriends! I’m blessed with creative girlfriends. They love knitting, scrapbooking, painting, jewelry-making and anything involving glitter and glue! They have artsy homes and wear funky clothing. I’ve seen certifiable creative women who dress only in their signature color. My friend Cindy loves purple – A LOT. She wears purple clothing, jewelry and even purple mascara – now that’s creative in my opinion! (And how can I not think of her when I see anything purple while shopping?!) Some of my girlfriends don’t consider themselves ‘creative.’ They are more … Read More »
