When DH graduated from grad school, we made a vacation out of it. We took a few days off & stayed in NYC (we lived in the ‘burbs at the time). Various family members came to town, including my parents – we had a wonderful time! This is the start of graduation day, the journaling on the top left side covers what we did before we went to the museum.

"Mon 5/23 Day of Greg's Graduation! Free continental breakfast at Lily's (the hotel restaurant), a stop at the lovely 16th floor terrace. Then later lunch w/ Mom & Dad at the nice Greek restaurant Molyvo's, the locale of many of my boss' power lunches next door to my folks' hotel, The Wellington (Mom & Dad looked sharp! Mom especially in her pink & black dress). It was so nice! Food was yummy (I went for a “quick lunch” – lentil soup, chicken in phyllo fruit tart]. Great conversation (Dad “You give free refills?...Look at that Diet Coke, it is in a test tube!” Stuff about our family's move from NY to TX, the Bronx days, etc). Then Greg went to the hotel to rest & we went to…Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum” (Journaling continues to rt side)

This LO comes chronologically before the “Greg's Graduation” LO earlier in my gallery.

All the paper I used, beside the background & what the text was printed on, were scraps. The matte behind the title is one of my bleach pen doodling test sheets for my “Toe Side Triumph” LO w/ bleach pen doodling (earlier in my gallery). (This piece was Ellie Pooh paper w/ bleach pen doodling, I thought it was neat how it bleached to that warm beige color but ultimately I liked the cool violet bleaching of the Bazzill I used better!). The sticker on the lower rt side was given to me by Karishma, a buddy from the Manhattan Scrapbooking Meetup.com group (she's here on sb.com too but forgot her screen name)… we both thought something should go in that corner & these stickers of hers were perfect…love it when that happens at crops!

Pardon the very imperfect stitching (slicing Louis Armstrong's face) & inadvertently cut off scans.

I friggin love my adorable parents…

TFL! :)
