Ain’t nothing better than friends helping ya out of the dumps .. Seriously I was feeling the Love ..
Thank you so Very much xoxoxoxo Today I got to sleep in a wee bit longer cause Jessie has NO school today ( parent teacher meetings ) Its probably a good thing cause My eyes from crying were not doing so Great by the nd of the day yesterday .. . Today I must run and get m another cell ph I am still under the 1 year thingy But last night hubby sent me a text message with his photo and since then MY phone will not stop beeping this terrible tone so I will be doing that this morning and then Jessie and I will be at the church for most of the day we are working on a Easter Program "Walking in the footsteps of Jesus " It is set up in 12 stations and something about walking to each station and wearing headphones .. Not to sure what I am getting myself into But I am excited about doing that with everyone. Then tonight is my Stampin class at 7:00pm here at my home . Tomorrow its back to the church with more preparing for the program and then my club meeting tomorrow night. Rich called me last night when he was sitting on the plane in Washington DC getting ready for his LONG flight of 13 hours to Kuwait . seemed his Spirits were up so That was encouraging to me The sad news is the text message and video he sent me on my cell phone last night I will more than likely lose since I know I will be getting a new phone today and they cant transfer photos and stuff ONLY my phone # database YUP thats the pits for sure ..I was hoping I could send them to Jessie’s phone and then once I get my new phone she could send it back to me BUT My phone will not budge from the blank screen and that terrible beeping … so its not looking like I will be able to keep the text goodies he sent last night BOO HOO! anywho .. Thank you all again for yesterday I can at least save all your wonderful comments to re read over and over again on those rough days ..
I will see you all again at 2:30pm tomorrow ( Saturday ) with a new post and to announce the blog candy give-a-way winners for the 3 graduation invites .. Still when I look at all those cards in the box It amazes me they are all done and that I actually made all of them .. God is sooo GREAT and isn’t Stampin Fun?
Until later .. Happy Stampin!!
Hi Dawn. I am a fellow Michigander and am so jealous that you have all the invites done. My son is also graduating this year and I need to shake a leg on the invites. Anyways, I graduated in 1983 and my school colors are red and black.
I cannot believe I am the first to comment. Read your blog daily…
Hi dawn I gradutated in 1990 and my colors were black and red.
Me again Dawn, did you try to shut your phone off and take the battery out. Put the battery back in and maybe?? it will reset itself when you turn it on.
Worth a try, good luck!
Hi Dawn,
I too have a daughter graduating in May. I haven’t even started on her invites. I guess I am wishing she wasn’t graduating. I want her to be a little girl again NEEDING her mom. Guess I had better get going. Anyway. I graduated in 1982 in Byron IL at Byron High School. My school colors were orange and black. 25 years later my DD is graduating from the same high school.
I will be praying for you and your family.
Dawn B.
I graduated in 1985 also and our colors were red and white too!
Hi Dawn,
I graduated in 1976…yep, I’m old! and my colors were purple and gold. Thanks for an awesome blog!

Hi Dawn, You and your family are in my prayers. I graduated in 1971. My school colors were blue and gold.
Hi Dawn, this card is so neat! Great job! I graduated in 1983 and our colors were red and white. Take care, Lisa
I’m still in awe that your husband volunteered to do work there. He is a brave soul. There are many support groups for military people that I belong to on yahoo. Perhaps there are also support groups for workers families.
Anyhoo, I graduated in ’83 and my colors were blue and yellow.
Hey, I graduated in 1988 and my colors were red and white, too. Lots of red and white girls, huh? I would love to see the card show up in my mailbox! Dawn, did you get my e-card yesterday? Just wondering. :0)
Dawn,
I have been thinking of you! I know it will be hard with your hubby being gone! Just email me if you need to “talk”! I graduated in 1986 and my colors were Black & Gold – Festus Tigers!! Love you,
Deb
Hidie Hoh!
I graduated in 1984, and the colors were blue & white from Lamphere High School, which by the way was the same school my dad, uncle & aunt all graduated from 20 some years earlier. Plus I got to go to high school with my grandpa (dad’s dad) working there at the same time. Good/Bad, kwim? All good memories though, I wouldn’t have traded it for the world.
i graduate in 1995 and my colors were blue and cold
Hi Dawn,
Great job on getting them done. I still have to start mine for my son in 6th grade. My husband also loves to help me make things when there is alot.
I gradurated in 73 and the colors were moroon and gold. God bless you and your family.

I graduated many moons ago!!!! 1960 and my colors were black and gold. The sports teams are called the “Rajahs”. I bet no one else has that as a mascot.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Hi, I’m another oldtimer – graduated in 1965. Our colors were Red & Black. I love the look of these cards & wish I could see them clearly (picture is kinda dark for me). As for your cell phone problem – sounds like one I had. My husband took the battery off the back, then put it back on. That solved the problem! I’m sure the people at the cell phone place can help.
I graduated in ’86 and our colors were red and white.
Your daughters grad cards are beautiful. You must be so proud of her. I remember how proud I was seeing my son walk across the stage to get his diploma. It was a moment I’ll never forget. I graduated in 1978 and my school colors were green & white. (not even a nice green either…who picked those colors..ugh)
Well, you have inspired me to get creating. I have a friend who gave me some supplies and the wording for her invites. I had promised to do them but have been ignoring that bag of stuff.
I graduated in 1984 and our colors were blue and white. Go Lyncs!
Kris
I would love to recieve one of your cards. My son is graduating in June and I still have to get all of his done. His colors are red and gold.
Dawn
I would be honored to receive a creation of yours!!
I graduated in 1970 and my school colors were green and white…
Our school mascot was the Lindy Bull Dog…just thought I’d a little extra hope you don’t mind…
Dawn,
I graduated in 1984 and my colors are Red and Black. We had a class of 86….pretty big huh??
I was a class of 1994 graduate of San Dimas High School in good ol So. Cal. (Yes the one from Bill and Ted’s Excellent adventure!) Our colors were Blue and Gold also!
I graduated in 1981 from Cloverleaf High School in Ohio. Our colors were green and white.
My heart goes out to you while your honey is overseas. Been there 27 yrs ago.
Cool Grad Card!
I graduated in 1977 and my school colors were Purple and Gold.
Hi Dawn, I so love you blog and get inspired everytime I visit it. I am so happy for your dauther, Wendy, on her upcoming graduation. I have two daughters and did not see either one of them walk across the stage to accept their diplomas for high school graduation(because neither one chose not to). I was so disappointed, but had to honor their request. I did finally see the youngest graduate from EMT Basic Training.
Anyway, I graduated in 1967 and my school colors were green and gold.

Okay…for the second time..I have no clue what this blogging thing is all about…I’m a beginner! I seem to be leaving comments all over the place, and now I think I’ve found the correct place to leave a comment to be eligible for this BLOG CANDY! Phew…this is hard work! Anyhow, I graduated from a high school just outside of Calgary, Alberta in 1988 and my school colours were red and white!

Hi Dawn. I find your work so inspiring and wanted to tell you. Anyway, I graduated in 1967 and my high school colours are double-blue (light blue/dark blue). I love those colours to this day!

Hi from Flushing. I graditated (yup, that is how I spell it) in 1972 but I did not go to the ceremony- I was living on my own and had to work. I dont even remember what the colors were as I had switched schools halfway thru my senior year. The one I switched from was burnt orange and navy blue and I htink the one I ended up at was red and grey. My grand daughter is graditating from Taylor Kennedy. How did that happen so fast?
Hi Dawn,
I must be one of the OLDEST but young at heart.I graduated in 1977 ( yes disco was very BIG back then ) and my school colors were Green and Gold. Sorry to say that my high school & grade school no longer exist but great memories do.
Stamping Hugs Nora
I graduated from Plymouth-Canton in 1987. Our colors were red & white. Boys wore red and girls wore white. It was a bummer that we had to wear white because we had to find a white dress to wear underneath. That was very difficult to find, an all white dress that wasn’t a bridal dress.
Hi Dawn!I’m inspired daily by your awesome blog and cards! I graduated in 1985 and our school colors were blue and gold! Go Blue Devils!!!
