Both of my girls are graduating from their schools this year. At one school I am helping out with alot of the coordination including decorating and the graduation video. I have over 600 pictures I need to coordinate into themes and pick through. We have been at that school for eight years including 2 years of kindergarten so I will be sad to say goodbye.
My older daughter graduated from this same school 2 years ago and I helped put together a "loot bag" for that graduation class. I had this great idea to make prize ribbons for the front of the bags. An early form of my etsy fabric ribbon. I mocked one up for parent approval lickety split. I glued it onto a clothes peg so we could attach them to the front of the bag easily and so it would be less likely to fall off. Well, one for a mock up seemed to go rather quickly - but 60! That took awhile and I found myself cursing away into the wee hours.

Yet it was a good feeling when I piled them up onto the kitchen counter for a shot.
And they did look good all lined up on the table for pick-up.
This year, at my older daughter's school I am helping out with the decorating. I am going to put together two groupings of clustery things (see below) to create interest on either side of the stage. They will be hung down from a magnetized clip on a fishing line. I can't wait to put something together. The colors are white with a touch of green here and there. I am going to go with a combination of the inspired clusters below. I will be sure to post the works in progress and let you know how it all goes.
Inspiration
yarn ball clusters found here
lantern cluster found here
I think both of these graduations in the next few weeks should be special. I'll take pictures of our clusters (assuming they will work out!) - pictures will be good because I am not so sure I am going to see them through my tears ...
By the way...
Congratulations to the winner of my inspire prize ribbon over at amy power's blog!
I hope you enjoy it and send me a picture!
