Hi! I'm back (sort of) from being sick the past few days. My New Year's Eve was spent trying to sleep early though I had a fever and some chills. I feel better tonight to at least post my project for TGF's Retro-Fresh Tag ... You're it Challenge. Now that Christmas is over and the New Year has begun, I'm faced with the next big milestone in my daughter's life. She will be graduating from 5th grade and moving on to middle school this fall. Seems like a long time off but I know it will come too quick like all special events do. It makes me a bit sad and worried and I hope she transitions well into 6th grade and her new school. I'm always worried about her making new friends. I know she's got quite a brain on her but socially, I'm not too sure what's going on. I'll be happy if she meets 1-2 really good friends that she can rely on.
Oh, did I mention how bright she is? I truly do not know where she gets her brains from. It is definitely not from me nor my hubby though we would really like to think it is from one of us. She can read a book so fast and we're talking thick, a few hundred pages kinds of books and still retain the info. That's definitely not me. But I'm glad that she has found her talent early and that is what she enjoys.
Anyway, sorry so much blabbing and bragging about my daughter. Hehe. I'll introduce my tag album!
I cut some tags using PTI's tag sale die.
Then I knew Annika would be perfect because this is one of my very first TGF's stamps and I bought it because it reminded me of my daughter. See her books too?
Kindergarten. (sorry, I had to conceal her face).
First grade. (The grade sentiments are from PTI as well). You can see how her hairstyle changes through the years.
Second grade.
Third grade. I made some cork embellishments.
Fourth grade.
And her current 5th grade year. Yeah, she's got some wild hair going on here. Her used to be so fine and straight. I don't know what happened!
The last tag is for me to write a little note to her and give to her on graduation day! On the back of each tag, I hope to write down some memories from each of her grades. I asked her if she remembered anything special from each grade and she said no. Geez.
Being sick, I didn't get to make a special New Year's Day card though I had something in mind. Maybe I can still get to it. I'm really looking forward to this new year! Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
