Going out in JOY...



My sister, Mrs. Townsend, asked me to make some cards that she can send to each of her students at the end of the year... This is what I came up with! And since my friend gave me her "Turtles" chocolate tin and it just happend to "match" and fit the cards, I made a box for them to go in... Tracy's kindergarten class is called "KC"... The paper is new from Stampin'Up!, Candy Lane double sided and cardstock is SU, too... STILL enjoying the CuttleBug and Nestabilities, label one. The "circle" of letters that reads "Mrs. Townsend..." is from JustRite Stampers.


The butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart's line at Michael's... and the ribbon charm (above) is Making Memories, letter stamps (above) are from theangelcompany...



.... I think my favorite part is the envelope:

... it seemed appropriate for kids going forward with their lives, etc... plus, our kids school has this "end-of-fifth-grade" tradition of the Clap Out. Last day of elementary school, the 5th graders parade from their classroom outside while everyone else is "clapping them out" and they are all crying. Hysterically. And yes, Ryan thinks this is REALLY funny. So, I'm CERTAIN, my sister will be the "trees of the field" on the last day of school.

... has it been a while since you've read Isaiah 55? It had been for me and I'm glad I took the time to check it out... you can certainly read the whole chapter, but you might start in verse 8, Tracy! Yup, there's a "reason" Chase is in your class!

Amazing. The thought of filling them is causing me to be melancholy ... I so hate this time of year and letting go ... even with how hard this year has been! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
