Graduation Reception Invitations



Graduation is still a couple of months away but I know it's going to be here before we all know it! This has been my son, Ethan's first year venturing into high school so he still has a few years to go before I have to worry about graduation. Yet, I know it is going to sneak up on me faster than I'll want it to! There are so many days that I look UP at him and wonder, "What happened to my moody little son that liked playing with toads and little green army guys?" Who knew those days would go by so quickly? I certainly didn't. I know there were many days I wished when he was younger that he could be more independent. And well, now I wish back for some of those days when he wasn't so...independent.


Anyhow- I know that people with high school kids are gearing up for Prom right now and have Graduation weighing heavily on their minds. Understandably so. They are big events in their children's lives. But that just brings me up to my point (and shameless advertising, too) that I've been thinking a lot about those graduations and the parties that follows and am working on designs for just the occasion. I don't know about anyone else but if my son were a senior this year, I am not entirely sure I'd know where I was having his reception party at until right about now or closer to graduation. (Yes, I know some people are better planners than me, but I know that there are a lot of people who are probably a lot like me when it comes to this aspect!) Maybe you're budget-conscious and don't want or can afford to spend an extra fortune just for reception invites (because after paying for senior portraits, graduation fees...if there are any, reservation for reception, invitations, cake, food, etc.....well, you get what I'm saying!LOL) Anyhow- these are great for those sort of instances. I plan to have a bunch more available on my Etsy shop in the next few days and weeks...OH and be sure to check out other invitations/announcements that I have available! If there is an occasion that you are planning and needing invitations or announcements for....(hint, hint, hint!)

Time for a new look....

Yeah, I know...it's been awhile. But I decided the other day that it is time to get back into the swing of things and start becoming more productive and start putting those creative abilities into motion. I've been working on some stuff for my etsy site and been pushing to get stuff up on there. Check it out when you get a chance! I also decided that I wanted a new look for my blog. So I went and updated the overall look as well....still a work in progress....but at least I found that motivation to get it done!

So what have I been working on? Invitations, announcements, Save The Dates, etc. Lovin' it!
