    Grad card money holder

    June 8, 2014 - By 

    A very special young man in our life just graduated from high school. He is like my 3rd child…my unofficially adopted one. He surprised me with a cup of Caribou coffee one Mother’s Day morning.  So sweet.  He is friend to Big J…and an over-sized big brother to Little J.   grad cardThe boys have had a love for video games since the day they met. Nintendo was the platform of choice.  Now “my second son” is going off to college into a video game design  program in a few short months. I thought this card would make him smile.

    Congrats T!
