One Smart Cookie! A Graduation Party Idea

One Smart Cookie Party

 

A few weekends ago my oldest daughter graduated High School.  We wanted to invite our family and close friends to celebrate with her. I knew that I did not have time to make a lot of  decorations but still wanted something fun. After much thought I settled on a Cookie Bar idea for her Graduation Party.  Even though I know I’m biased, I think “Kari is One Smart Cookie” !

Yes, that happened. Someone pinch me.  She can not possibly be old enough to graduate.

Whoa, there is so much going on around here right now that this post could be 20 pages long.  Instead I’ll just “sum up”.

Earlier this week I realized I’ve hit the limit of what I can do when it comes to projects & creative things.  It’s time to call UNCLE!

Five things on a Saturday

 

OLFA-1

 

ONE:

Does anyone remember “the incident” from a few years ago?  Fast forward to today and this fun new rotary cutter shows up in the mail, and my husband says “do they know you’re not to be trusted with those things?”

Well apparently OLFA does trust me to use a rotary cutter because they sent me one of their new models. Besides the fact that it’s so pretty, it has a much better system to change the blade.

This week was one of those that felt like it was a month long. I won’t go into details but I was feeling very overwhelmed and over committed most of the week.  Combine that with a few unfriendly people that crossed my path, and this week is not going down as one of my favorites.
