A Crafty Grad Party

For Don's graduation party, I got a little crafty and wanted to share the results. Since Don is a History major and loves to travel, I wanted to stick to a worldly "oh, the places you'll go" theme. I ordered the beautiful compass invites from Petite Paperie on Etsy. I took some old fold-out driving maps, and cut out envelope inserts to get that cool map pattern when you open the invite. We also used the maps to make a paper airplane garland. I love how that turned out. Lastly, I baked these amazing cupcakes, and Don made some mini hand-drawn flags from countries all over the world to stick on top of them. Everything looked so cute! It was a bummer that I got the flu the week of his graduation and couldn't share in all the festivities... Anyway, I recommend these little projects  for your next shin dig.

Better Late Than Never

So, I realize it's been quite awhile since I posted anything here. That's partly due to my preoccupation with other projects (which are very exciting). Since I last posted, I have applied to two graduate schools, launched a community-building film program at the Library, continued part time teaching photography and media literacy to high school students, and started fund raising for 10,000 Trees- a short documentary project. I'm a busy lady. Never the less, I shall try to maintain presence here and share some of the exciting and inspiring things going on in life.

Stay warm!
