Afternoon and TGIF, that's all I can say! It's been a hectic, sleep deprived week here ... and hence, a very simple card to post. My dd14 is applying to high school this week - yes, applying ... rofl! I get asked a lot "did you say applying?! Doesn't everyone go?" Yes and no! We have a Magnet high school (a mini Julliard! ) which is a performance high school for voice and musical theater ..... dd was BORN for it! But the competetion is fierce and literally a thousand (yes, thousand!) applicants try out for less than 80 spots. We are crossing our fingers and toes that she will make the deadline and receive an audition and I'm literally sick to my stomach just thinking of it. I know she is terribly worried but isn't showing it :) She has picked a wonderful Italian song that really accentuates her soprano voice but it's really a waiting game that has us so much on edge - the waiting, the wondering, the hoping! I feel like I"m a real life Glee episode paired against Vocal Adreneline, lol! ;)
So all this rambling!!!!! I made a card for Chrissy today and put it in her backpack - I even tucked it into her music folder and with a note from mommy on the inside of the card :) It's not so fancy, just a simple note to remind her that through the waiting and wondering, we just need to keep the faith, stay focused and positive and pray for a good audition!! :)
Using scrap SU! cardstock, some paper from Fancy Pants Fall collection, I stamped a simple sentiment from SNSS, added a border of felt flowers and voila! She texted me during lunch to tell me she loved my card but mostly that she loved me more ........ sniff, sniff! I'm so blessed!Have a FAB weekend! x0x0
