In the midst of all of my moving talk over the last few weeks (BTW - it's tomorrow!!!), there's another huge event coming in my family. My youngest will graduate from Lutheran High School!! I feel just a little bad about overshadowing his last month in high school with this move, but he might just be more excited than I am. His room is bigger and in the basement away from us, his commute for his last few weeks at school is an easy 3 miles, and he has also thought he was more urban that rural. (Although we've tried to tell him "rural" is an exaggeration. We do currently live on 5 acres on the prairie, however, it's only 3 minutes to the town's cultural events center and a big library, and it's 5 minutes to Costco plus any number of fast food options. It's hard to say we're rural. However, we are moving to a charming little neighborhood which is actually further from all of those things, but we have next door neighbors!)
Besides my son's graduation, a number of his lacrosse teammates will graduate. Since my husband has coached them for years, I am always called upon to do quite a few cards in school colors.
I love our hobby because it is extra special that I can create something specific for the kids. Purple, black, silver/gray - and they know it's for them!
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to make special cards in school colors. I'm sure the recipients think they are extra special too - can't find those at the local card shop, I'm sure! And good luck with the big moving day. May all your furniture fit and your kitchen come together quickly! :)
