Happy Days Cards...

This darling "Happy Days" Card kit designed by Betsy Veldman is back in stock one last time.  We've had to substitute the star stick pins for clear star stick pins, but everything else is the same.  This kit includes designs for 13 cards and 6 gift tags.We only have a few, and when these are gone, this kit will be retired.  You can buy one here for just $32.00.  Enjoy!  Dee

More School Days...

Here are some darling layouts created by Darla Weber celebrating her daughter's First Grade and Kindergarten school years.  Darla used the "Head of the Class" collection by Little Yellow Bicycle which we still have available for purchase.  Enjoy!  Dee

School Days...

The school year is nearing the end and it's almost my favorite day of the year....the first day of summer vacation!  I love that day because you still have the whole summer vacation ahead of you with no days used up.  Of course, this is the teacher point of view.  I'm often told from the parent point of view that it's just the opposite for them.  The favorite day for parents is the day in August when school starts:) Hummmm......

Well, we've hit a milestone at our house regarding school.  Our only child, Lauren, graduated from University of Missouri last Saturday.  We are so proud of her accomplishments and the lovely person she has become.  She'll be off to grad school in the fall to continue her studies, but this first chapter has come to a close.  Here are a few pics from last weekend.







Yes, she "blinged" her cap in tiger stripes!  Probably spent more time doing that than studying for finals.  That's my girl!
