Graduation Presents
So in an effort to try to control some of the stress in my life I decided that I wasn't going to go insane trying to get 11 graduation presents done (with homemade cards of course!) in time for Sunday. I got everything finished up today and am SUPA relieved that they are finished. The first picture is of the cards. I spent most of my free time yesterday on them. I used Heidi Swapp masks, with ink, and stickles and they turned out sooo stinkin cute if I do say so! The 2nd picture is of some pillows my dear mother put together for me. We made these out of extra FLC tshirts and I am giving them to all of my officers. Just a note to add to this... I had EVERY intention of making these myself and when I actually sat down to the sewing machine I kept balling up the bobbin thread somehow. So I asked my mom to help---She is SUCH a LIFESAVER!!! I guess I need to take sewing lessons this summer :) Not that I EVER thought I could sew!! I understand the concepts I just am not too familiar with the machine... and anyway I think I will stick to sewing on paper!! Isn't that what sewing machines are for??? Just kidding MOM!!! Stop cringing! We are wrapping up school this week! YEA! I am giving finals today and tomorrow and then we have teacher workday til 2pm on Thursday!! My plan is to meet Lindsay and Cheryl at the Attic on Friday for some cropping time but Heath isn't quite on board with that yet. He said something about playing golf or working.... I guess I will put in a call to the Lifesaver!! What would we do without our mothers??? Well gotta run Georgia and Pez are here bringing me Taco Tico!! What a life!!!
