My daughter Amanda starts college in a week and my son starts a new program called the "Middle College". This year will mark Cameron's first year as a high school student. However he's not going to traditional high school. He applied for and was accepted into a program that's been around in the Monroe area for 3 years. He will attend classes at the Monroe County Community College for 5 years. In return for good grades and lots of hard work- he will be awarded not only a high school diploma but also a 2 year associates degree in the Health Services field. (Someday Cameron hopes to become an Anesthesiologist) So basically he will graduate a year after all his old classmates but will be a year ahead of them as far as college education goes. Did I mention that this program is FREE? How awesome is that? Cam gets 2 FREE years of college education. Definitely a huge plus these days!
In other news, I have been playing around with my new Stampin' Up! goodies that came while I was on vacation. One of my new favorite tools is the Candy Wrapper Bigz L die. I could sit and play with it for HOURS! The little candy wrappers are absolutely adorable and so very customizable! You can make them for absolutely anything! I know I'll definitely be making lots for the upcoming holidays- both Halloween AND Christmas!
Isn't it cute?

First of all Congrats to Cameron. That is quite an honor. I don't think they offer that around here but I no longer have kids that young so maybe they do! I like your candy wrapper. I sometimes get frustrated doing the ends but I do like them.
