Fiber Bubble: Hellos and Farewell

Hellos and Farewell

Sneak preview of an upcoming {PIN}spirational challenge. I am nearing the end of my {PIN} team duties. It has been fun. And I have to admit I do enjoy having a deadline (an excuse for MANDATORY time in my Bubble). From here on out it is work-work-work! The sprint toward graduation at BCU! I have re'sumes to review, job applications to help with, senior programs to prepare! LOVE this time of year! It is always bittersweet as I say farewell to "my" seniors - "my peeps" for the past four years. Yes there are always upcoming seniors...but the current "crop" is always the dearest.

Then they become proud university alum and the best part is many stay in touch! With return visits to campus, with texts, with email, and of course....FaceBook and InstaGram! Gotta love social media and maintaining relationships!

Nancy, I hate to see your time with Pinspirational coming to an end! I've loved all your cards.

Cute, cute, CUTE! Of course I love those All Dressed Up images - but with the background paper and you framed them out, it's fabulous!
