Proud Mama ...

Hope you don't mind that I take a moment to Congratulate Callie!  Y'all took many a tour with me in the Fall ...

Remember the Pineapple Man ... well, I might have to be a little more friendly toward him because SHE has chosen!



Bucknell ... And I have to say ... they should be damn proud to get her!!  And I cannot tell you how happy I am to keep "Orange and Blue" in the house!!

Yep, that's the checkbook on the counter.  All design is ceasing here ... now TWO are in college ... here we go!

Then, because I was all boasting about being in Palm Beach last week.  This is what she was up to:


She and about 30 kids went with our Church to help a small community in the hills of Jamaica.  They never saw the ocean (except from the plane) and came home with smiles and stories.  Best Ever. 

The kids loved getting their pictures made and seeing their faces on the digital cameras.  They didn't have any mirrors and were thrilled to see themselves!


Isn't that the best use of GINGHAM you have ever seen!

Okay ... I'll get back to design tomorrow.   I just couldn't resist being a Mom for a minute!!  

xo,

kim

  2. I can just imagine how truly proud you are! I am sure Callie is thrilled to have helped others and make an impact. She has a great smile that I bet you will miss when she is away at school.
