Graduation Day and Teacher Boxes!

Today was Graduation Day for my 5th grader.  Chase is such a good boy and he was really excited to be graduating the 5th grade and going to Middle School next year.  He looked so handsome in the program.  He was one of the few that dressed up. The principal told him he looked like a “Little Mormon Missionary” (I take that as a HUGE compliment.  I love when my boys wear suits and ties because they DO look like missionariesHe won’t smile because he doesn’t like his teeth, but I love to see him smile!  He’ll get his braces soon enough!!

I made some really cute boxes to hold cookies in last night too!  I have to say that I absolutely LOVE them!  Here’s the Tutorial for them.   They were really easy to do and I had fun doing them.  I actually found it first at a blog called Paper Pleasing and she had the tutorial on her blog.  I like the tab she used better, but I don’t have that one.  So… I made do!!

Congrats to Chase on his graduation! Wow! He looks SO handsome and grown up. Graduation in grade 5, eh. We don't do that until grade 6 here, but he looks like he is already in grade 6. That would mean Chase and Cami are the same age. Hmmm......LOL!

Tell Chase, that I am happy to see he wore his shirt and tie. What a wonderful example he is to ALL those around him.

Now, I am with Judy! You are SO talented!! I LOVE the boxes you made. So stinkin cute!!! Where do you find the patience to do all the cute crafty stuff you do. I wish I had whatever it is that you have. : D

Can't wait to hear about the shower too!
