The warm weather is here and kids are anticipating the crazy days of summer. They’ve grown over the year.

Nostalgia takes over as the school year winds down. Parents, teachers and graduates big and small are preparing for the closing day. As a parent of a child about to graduate, I want to hold tight to every moment because I know how fast it all goes.

For this blog I wanted to show you some great ideas using frames to create graduation keepsakes and as well help with your party plans.
