Hope everyone is having a wonderful last weekend of summer. The weather here is beautiful, wish it was a little warmer so I could enjoy the pool, but I’ll take the sunshine and no rain!
Anyone who knows me, knows my love of purses, especially Dooney & Bourke bags. So this year for my birthday (which is in January) I suggested to my brother, after hearing some of the nieces possible college choices, that maybe Maya would pick a school Dooney has a purse for, in August Maya started at Virginia Tech. My husband’s birthday is in August so they asked about a college themed gift for him (hat/shirt), never ever was I thinking about a purse. So a box came for both of us, I thought maybe I would get a mug (it took 2 years for Jake to send me one) and figured Dan’s birthday present was in there as well, image my shock (wish I could have seen my face) when I opened my package and it was a Virginia Tech D&B purse, actually purchased at the school! I am definitely the luckiest sister in the world (there are tears in my eyes as I write this)! ♥
The card I’m sharing today is the one I sent Maya as a thank you and to welcome her to her first year of college. I’ve used the All Things Fabulous Bundle and Stampin’ Up! colors Merry Merlot & Pumpkin Pie which remind me of Virginia Tech colors. I even stamped a flower on the outside left corner of the envelope.
Here is a picture of me with my new Virginia Tech purse – I’ve been using it and just love it!
Even the boys had a gift in the box, here’s Nitro with the football tug toy!
