Letting Him Grow

by HayBayMomSep 30, 2003
<DIV><P><FONT face=arial>There are lots of 'firsts' for me involved in this LO. The first time I've printed my own digital pictures, printed on vellum and letting my first baby go off to Kindergarten. </FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial>The paper and journal boxes are all from Paper Bliss (purchased right here at good ol' SG). </FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial>The school bus, apples, pencils and crayon set are all from the&nbsp;Jolee's By You collection.</FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial>The tiny buttons are Favorite Findings and the red vellum is from Paperbilities.</FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial>The poem is all about a Mommy wondering what her little one is doing at school on the first day. The last stanza reads as follows:</FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial>"I wonder if you could possibly understand how hard it is for me to let you grow. On this day know that my heart breaks for this is the first step in letting my baby go."</FONT></P><P><FONT face=Arial>Thanks for looking!</FONT></P></DIV><FONT face=arial></FONT>

There are so many things I love about this I don't know where to start!  I really like the colors, the stitching is fabulous and the photo of your hands letting go actually made me a little misty eyed.  I'm saving this idea in my memory bank and scraplifting it in a few years!!  DS will really appreciate this LO when he's older.

This makes me sad that I wasn't sbing when Rory was little. Guess I'll have to make up for it now with the pics I take of him all grown.
