Well, we have seen our daughter go and get graduated from college! We are so proud of her and her acomplishments!!

Now, I'm getting tons of new announcements from friends whose high schoolers are graduating! I have to say I am impressed with the new style of announcements out there. it's not your basic tri-fold embossed letterhead, with mascot affixed!

I have gotten some very creative invitations. One had a background super-imposed of the girl in her band uniform and holding her tuba, and a nice graduation formal pic in the foreground, with her announcement written next to it. Another one looked almost like a wedding invitation. It had the transparent mylar paper with the announcment on it, with the boys picture from his prom underneath in black and white.Another, was a nice formal photo of a boy, whose announcement was under his photo, and all was on photo paper in his school colors.

I wish we had that when I was graduating! It was just in the past 10 years or so that kids were adding a picture of themselves with their announcements! Now with our computer generated, tech savvy kids, it's all done on computer, and a whole heck of a lot cheaper!Well, with the price of gas these days, you gotta save money somewhere and why not with graduation announcements! I think it's all very cool!
