Webster's Home: The Very Best of Friends {Order Today!}

Our celebration of friendship is in full force, and we're here today to talk to the lovely Jill Cornell about her take on the topic. Thankfully, Jill agreed to create an adorable Best Friends layout featuring two of her favorite people, her twins:

We asked Jill FIVE Friendship questions (any of which would be great journaling topics!) Read on to find out more about her (and get a closer peek at her sweet layout.)

What is your earliest memory of "making a friend"?

JILL: I can clearly remember the friends I made in kindergarten as most of these relationships carried on through my elementary, junior high and high school years. When you grow up together with a group of friends, it's easy to remember time spent in the classroom, on the playground or at each other's houses.

Do you make friends easily or is it more difficult for you?

JILL: I have never really been someone to approach people in a new situation. I guess I am a little shy in that way. But once I do become friends with someone, I take those relationships seriously and then the extrovert in me comes out.

What is your favorite thing to do with your friends?

JILL: I have several "groups" of friends - high school friends, college friends, church friends, and mom friends. Over the past year, a group of friends from my small hometown (mostly those of us that now live in a bigger city) get together once a month to go out for dinner and laughs. I absolutely love this time together so much! My stomach will literally ache like I've been doing 100 sit-ups from laughing so much with these girls. We're talking more than 25+ years of friendship. We drifted apart a little bit but always jumped right in where we left off when we would get together. And we have started making these monthly get-togethers a priority so our relationships are better than ever!

Don't you love the way Jill used the Best Friends overlay on her layout?

What is the nicest thing a friend has ever done for you?

JILL: Immediately after my husband and I were chosen by a birth mother for our adoption, our very dear friends from church jumped right in and put together a fundraiser for us. We were able to raise the bulk of what we needed to finalize our adoption expenses. I know we will never forget their gift and sacrifice of time and money so that we might give our twin girls their forever home.

If you could be friends with anyone in the world (living or dead) who would you choose?

JILL: Well, this is a fun question! And I'm going to answer it in a way that gives me a time machine. ;) Although I don't know if I could have made it in pioneer days (love my modern conveniences a little too much), I would have loved to be friends with Laura Ingalls Wilder. When I read her books as a young girl, I remember thinking that it would be fun to experience life as she did. I could vividly picture myself there with her in a simple cotton dress playing with corn husk dolls. Maybe my answer means it's simplicity I crave these days!
