***“Friends” title cut by the Pazzle machine at Cropper’s Corral. I sent them an email with this title in this size using the font BlackJack. You can use whatever font you want and however big you want (limited to a 12x12 sheet), save it as a jpeg file and they can cut it for you. I used the same jpeg file but printed at a smaller size for my "To My Friend" card:

A friend is a present you give yourself. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
Andrew had never wanted to invite his own friends from preschool and church to his birthday before. “Only Papaw and Nana and you all” he would say which also included his cousins and other family members. It may be the extra attention he would receive being the “birthday boy.” This year he changed his mind and was committed to inviting his friends. First, he declared “no girls allowed” but then thought about his dear friends – Sadie Grace at school and then there was Madison at church. He could not leave out these favored girls. Eight friends were chosen to invite thinking that they would not all be able to come; however, all eight came! His party turned out to be loads of fun for him, and he definitely enjoyed the attention he thought he did not like. Friends who made his birthday extra special: Sadie Grace Bowels, Gabe Davis, Luke Randolph, Laiken Brown, Madison Brown, Andrew Davis, Caleb Zepeda, and Clayton MacKenzie. Saturday, November 19, 2005.
