Operation Jordan’s Graduation Party- a Great Success!

Many of you know that my niece Jordan is like a daughter to me. From the time she was born we had a special bond. My first niece, and with my brother and sister-in-law in the restaurant business, I was blessed to be able to have her on the weekends when they worked, along with her other Aunts too, and my parents during the work week, this kid never went to daycare. Well, she just graduated from high school last month and we just had her big Graduation party yesterday. They say it takes a village to raise a child, it was so true for this kid- and for her party!

Here she is:

Here are just a few highlights (with the crafty element) that I thought you’d appreciate: My sister Sue created these yummy chocolate brownies and chocolate cupcakes with a graduation cap topper! How cute are these???

Here are some of the decorations I made for the party and we had a Project Life station where guests could jot Jordan a “Note or a Quote” and then we had a Photo Booth – I saved room in the back of her album for a graduation section and we’ll insert all the notes from people with their photos.

Well I took over 100 photos, I don’t think you want to see all of them, plus I have to get ready for work! I was so tired last night that I took a shower and went right to bed!

Thanks for stopping by to visit my blog today! More tomorrow about my July Club projects!

Happy Monday!

I cannot tell you how over-the-top EXCITED I was when I learned that we were going to begin offering this high quality line of products! I have “almost caved” numerous times when I was shopping in the craft store and I saw Becky’s beautiful Project Life items, I am so glad that I held out and waited for her to join Stampin’ Up! and partner to bring her awesomeness with our exclusive, brilliant colors, and it is going to totally re-define how I scrapbook. Record memories. Document family events, milestones, or everyday life. Want to leave a “time capsule” for some special people? Create a Project Life album… you could literally create an entire album in one sitting… just need to print those photos that are sitting around on your phone or your computer.

I will be planning a Project Life Doorbuster Event… let me know if you would like to be invited and help us launch our newest product line! I’m thinking it will be an awesome idea to hold in a big space… please leave a comment if you are interested, so I can begin to tally up how many people I should plan for…. can’t wait to get my hands on these new products.

Thanks for visiting my blog again- twice in one day! But I couldn’t resist blogging about this exciting new announcement today!

Take care,
Lynn
