My Friend Alison

I had my Part 2 post about the cupcake pedestals all set to go out this morning for your guys, but thought to share something pretty important with you instead. This morning, I opened my Facebook page and watched this touching thought-provoking video on the subject of distracted driving featuring my friend, Alison Holden:

 
I felt it was important to share this video with all my readers before the weekend starts.  I know how easy it is to want to respond to a text or answer a call while you are driving, but the next time you  are in your car and reach for your phone, please remember that not only can you be injured by a distracted driving, you can also do irreparable damage to others.

I'm glad I still have my buddy around to be able to tell us her story, but I sure would miss her cheeriness and her shouting me out each time I tweet about my little party business on Twitter.
