Graduation projects

[Elizabeth]

Hi Everyone,

I have been busy in the last couple of weeks working on Projects for my DD's graduation. Here are a couple of photos of favorite projects. There are more on my blog, if you would like to check them out.

Wow Elizabeth - just checked your blog to see more of the details. I love all of your projects. You did an awesome job. The roses on her cap are gorgeous!!

And I love the photos in the old window - that is just brilliant.

The decorations look great - she must be thrilled! Great job!!!

Ooooohhhh, ooooohhhh, oooooohhhhhh love it all Elizabeth!!

Thanks, ladies! That window has been hanging out behind my house for a couple of years. It took about 6 tries to get it clean, and every time I touched it, more putty fell off! I love how it turned out, and am very excited about redoing it seasonally and for special events.

The cap is the second special project I have worked on this spring with Naomi using Penny's flower files. Very special memories for us!

Thanks, everyone! I certainly had fun. Now I'm thinking about what I can do in two years when my baby graduates.

Beautiful work Elizabeth. I will have to go over to your blog and check out the rest of it but wanted to comment while I was here! My DD will graduate next year and my DS the very next year so I figure I better start collecting ideas now! (Course I better start creating them now if I expect to actually have them done by the time DD's graduation rolls around next MAY! You better believe they will be gender neutral for most of them so I can easily save and reuse for DS the following May! )

Thanks, Melanie! I already have all of the extra plates and plastic ware packed in a ziplock and tucked away for DD #2 in two years. She didn't seem that excited to be getting hand-me-down party stuff! I will also save any of the decorations that aren't personalized.

As busy as you are with sports, maybe you should start cutting right now!!!

[MeFlick]

Well, in two years maybe she will have forgotten that they are "hand-me-down" decorations! Yes, I should probably start cutting now! They do several "senior" lunches at school with special themes - I know with my cutters I could some really cute decorations and stuff but I didn't sign-up! Didn't want to make that commitment - decided the work load wasn't worth the oohs and aahs! Maybe I will change my mind come Fall!
