Aim High



It's been one week since I came back from an amazing crafty weekend away...and it's time to get caught up on the blog!  One of my goals last weekend was to get a lot of graduation cards done.  In three months we'll be celebrating Ryan and many of his friends graduation.  If you've been around here before you know how much I love one layer cards and a touch of collage stamping.  These are Avery Elle stamps. Thankful to be able to borrow stamps throughout the weekend.

On my way home I caught up on my Project Life pages about this weekend. Words really can't express how much this weekend fills up my heart.  Love these ladies so very much!  A huge thanks to Amy and Laurie for organizing such a fantastic weekend.  Wonderful to reconnect with old friends and make many new friends.




I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.  I'm sitting here blogging and waiting for Ryan's show choir to perform at about 11:40 EST via live stream in Mississippi. Pretty thankful that even though I'm not there I can still watch them perform!

oh, what a fun weekend! Where did the event take place? In a hall? Will this be Ryan's swan song this year? Are there show choirs at college there? What a fantastic run he's had so far! I love the collage look too :) ox

Sure looks like you had a blast on your crafty weekend. Did you enjoy the Kansas house? Looks like a very comfortable place to hang out with friends. And your graduation card is wonderful. Whichever of Ryan's friends it goes to, they'll be thrilled with it. Love all the arrows; perfect for a graduate. We've got two granddaughters graduating this year ...sigh... where does the time go?!! Have a great week. Bev

I love your one layer card Lynn, you always make them look so effortless--an amazing skill you have! Another perfect graduation card to add to your stash. You are smart because I put it off too long with both my kids and ended up racing around making cards at the last minute. Your project life pages really tell a story, love the hot pink background. I bet you had an incredible time. I wasn't around yesterday to see the live stream of Ryan's show choir. There is a show choir video there but is it the same event?
