Projects Done

Yay! I am so relieved.  After weeks of work, I finally finished my graduation projects for granddaughter, Kelsey.  She graduated with honors from Stadium High School in Tacoma yesterday and as a big party tomorrow.  I always make a graduation quilt for each grandchild and I've been working on this one since February.  I just finished the binding and sewed the label on.  It is all wrapped and ready to deliver.  Since Kelsey and her mom don't follow my blog, I can share it here.  Two of her favorite colors are coral and turquoise so I used it for the focal pieces.  She will attend Grand Canyon University in Phoenix so the colors are appropriate for the Southwestern decor. Hope she likes it.

The other big project that I did for the party was to make a bunch of party favors for the guests.  I have had the Fry Box die since last year and decided to play with it for my stamp clubs this month since Stampin' Up! gave us the "All About Sugar" stamp set on the new catalog while in Hawaii.  Then I got the brilliant idea to make some of the fry boxes with the "Class of 2025" stamp that I borrowed from one of my wonderful customers.  So 40 boxes later, I finished the last of them tonight.  Since the school colors are blue and gold, I used Pacific Point for the box and embossed the 2015 in gold embossing.  I filled the little cello bags with Hershey kisses.  There are blue Cookies and Cream and gold Milk Chocolate with Almonds.  The saying "It's Party Time" is from the "All About Sugar" set.  I think they turned out pretty cute.  What do you think?
