Congrats!

I have a stack of new stamps that I can't wait to use....but when I have the time, my energy level isn't there! My allergies have been killing me lately - ugh...which means sinus headaches!

Tonight was a different story! I needed a card to congratulate one of my seniors for being one of six students selected for a scholarship at the college she'll be attending next year. I'm so proud of her & so excited! I know she likes purple (at least that's the direction she's heading with the prom gown), so here's what I came up with:

I typically have never been into butterflies. I think it might have something to do with a pair of (ridiculously expensive and ugly) shoes that I had to buy (& get dyed to match) - the satin shoes had dragonflies all over them!! But, I've been seeing butterflies images & cards everywhere and I've been loving them! When PTI came out with their latest butterfly set & coordinating die, I finally took the plunge. And wahoooooooo, I'm so glad that I did!

I'm off to visit three or four blogs, write a personal note to my student in this card, and fill out my census form before I head for bed. I took a nap tonight when I got home, so I'm feeling pretty rejuvenated right now....hopefully I can say that bright & early tomorrow morning!

Take care!!
