GRADUATION ~ Here We Come!

Hi Dear Friends

Yep...the time is fast approaching,

its almost time

 for all Seniors across this country

to walk down the aisle and graduate!

This weekend my family and I are going to

my nieces graduation ceremonies in Florida!

To say the least, we are excited for

this mini-vacation we are able to take.

What makes this one special is that my

daughter was born only 7 days after my niece was born.

They both ended up being only children

in our families...and as time

has gone on, they have been

able to cultivate a wonderful sister-like

bond. Which my sis and I are just

so pleased about.

I came up with an idea a few months ago and

finally found just the right sweet

graduate girl to make up for my

neice...I could not get over how

closely it represents how she looks...

so I thought I'd share what I came up with
instead of a card!

Isn't she just the sweetest figurine?

Her colors were Green and Gold and

they are wearing black gowns!

My niece has beautiful blondish

red hair, just like this doll.

I also did up a tag to go along with it instead

of the traditional card...

When I give it to her it will have a

check inside of the box.

Hope you enjoyed this and maybe

it gave you a great idea too!

Blessings!
