It’s here… the time that parents dread but in some ways look forward to at the same time.  My husband and I are becoming “empty nesters.”  Our first son was born 31 years ago today; our fourth and youngest son, Zach, is now graduating from high school.  He has been such a great kid.  We will miss him as he heads off to college in a couple of months.  This card is for him.

This is such a beautiful set from Our Daily Bread Designs called, “As You Graduate”.

The alphabet charms were given to me by a very dear friend who helped nurse me back to health after my surgery last month.  Thank you so much, Janice!   The charms are mounted on a Twinchie.  (If you are interested, you can check out how I got an oval shape from a Twinchie in my latest CLASSroom post.)
