Back 2 School

Hey, everyone!

Yesterday was my baby girl's first day of SECOND GRADE! That hurts to even type that!! Wow! Where has the time gone? Kadesia's grown sooo much over the summer and was so excited for the first day of school. She was counting it down and then the night before school was very nervous! We prayed together the morning of her first day before school and she felt much better! Here are some photos of her in the kitchen before the school bus came...

It started to rain a little this morning but thankfully it had stopped by the time the bus came! She is looking out the window towards her great-grandma's house. She was watching for Kadesia to get on the school bus!

This is the messenger bag my mom bought her for ONE DOLLAR on clearance! I absolutely love it!! She added velcro to keep it closed and sewed the handle down so it would fit her shoulders just right.

She looked so cute in this outfit! Her mamaw bought it for her but Kadesia picked it out. I think she looks so sweet!
Did any of you see the commercial on t.v. where the girl is going to school and she is nervous and her mom puts a card in her backpack and the little girl reads it when she is on the school bus and all the butterflies fly out the window? Well, Kadesia saw that and mentioned it to me a couple weeks ago so the night before her first day of second grade, I decided to make a card for her, too. She saw the teacher's gift on her bag and asked if I had made her teacher a card, too. I said no and that it was for her. She was so happy!Here's the card I made using the Build-A-Flower Stamp Set which is available through TAC. I used L'Amore Red and Viridian Leaf Palette Hybrid Ink. I also used my Clear Glitter Gel Pen for some shimmer on the flower and then using my plastic canvas heart template and a push pin I pierced holes in the top left corner. I used my black marker to give each hole more depth.
She said she wanted to read it on the bus. Then she said she really wanted to read it before she got on the bus so I told her to go ahead! LOL
You think she liked it?
She told me she read it twice more on the bus! LOL She had a really good first day back and then off to gymnastics, so she was very tired! After a relaxing bath she was eager to go to sleep! Today is the start of another day.... LOL

Hugs,

OH how sweet! Aubrey's first day of 2nd grade is tomorrow. She's soooo excited! We just finished labeling all of her school supplies so she could put them in her messenger back too! I got her a cheetah print one at a thrift shop for a quarter and she loves it, lol!
