Dream Until . . .


I took a class with Renee of "I came, I saw, I created" where we made the neatest Take Out Folder.  I thought it was a great idea and was fun putting it together.


My son's girlfriend is going north to attend graduate school to pursue her dream/goal of playing violin professionally.


I thought this format would be a perfect way to send her off to her new home, albeit temporary.


I used a pocket folder and the measurements from Renee's post to cut my panels.


I added menus/information sheets from places near the university.  There was also a space for me to add a personal note of encouragement.


Attached embossed pockets to the back section


to insert some encouraging scriptures to help when she feels lonely.


A few gift cards to the local merchants attached with washi tape ~love the {hugs and quiches}
