Congrats to my daughter!

You know........it's funny! I love sharing good news with my blog buddies even though I haven't meet that many of you in real life, I consider you all such good friends! Sooooooo..........................

As many of you know, my daughter graduated from college in May with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, but it has been her life long dream to be a doctor/nurse.  It is extremely hard to get into the programs that would give her a BS in Nursing.  We have two of the most amazing Nursing schools ever right here in the Houston area.  Anyhow, she applied a few months ago and just got accepting into her very first choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We are so proud of her!  She will eventually go on to become a Nurse Practitioner, but the goal right now is Nurse.  It will only take her 15 months to complete the program because it is a fast track program. I think she will make a fantastic nurse and decided to make a little card for her.  Now, mind you, this was a very quick card (like an hour hahaha).  She is not a foofey girl and so it is pretty simple, but she will like the bright colors.


I got this adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  When I saw it first put up long ago, I thought that it would make the most perfect card for Alyssa!  I think the zig zags look like heart rate pulses or something haha!

Thanks for letting me share my news with you!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!!!

Hugs, Dena

    Big congrats to Alyssa! She must me as proud of herself as you are of her! And what a beaut of a card, Dena, I see what you mean about the zigzags looking like an electrocardiograph. Your image is soooooo cute and soooooo prettily coloured. Love the little print on your vertical stripe and your two embellishments are perfect! Big hugs! Lesley

    Congratulations Alyssa! I began my nursing career in 1968 and saw so many changesover the years until I took early retirement in 2010. I wouldn't have changed anything on my career path! I'm sure she will love it and have wonderful life. This card is very special and she will treasure it. Yes, I can see the ECG tracing on the side too!! Enjoy your weekend Dena. Christine x

    Congrats to your daughter sweetie! I hope I will get to be as happy and proud as you are one day:)) Mine is barely 3 now but well, time flies as I hear:).
    You chose the perfect nurse image, I can tell you cause I once needed a card for a nurse and searched all over and eventually thought Mo has the perfect images for everything:).
    Wonderful colors and I love the nurse hat on the bow.
    Good luck to your daughter and tell her not to stop until she becomes a doctor!
    Hugs, Iulia

    Dena, I am thrilled for you and all I can say is a big CONGRATULATIONS, you have helped to create a successful young lady in your daughter.

    I work as a nurse...I congratulate your daughter, and wish her the very best as she undertakes her journey. She has some very commendable long term dreams, I'm sure she will do very well. The nursing profession could really use some committed input. I am sure she will love the card. The image is perfect, and the card is decorated just right. I agree - the zig zags could be the monitor readings! Congratulations!

    Oh, this card is beautiful! You're so right! That was my immediate thought when I first saw it- the curves look like a heartrate! Cool! She will notice that for sure too :) I loooove the cute image- an hour?? To make my coloring look even a slight bit like that lushious I'm working twice as long! I guess that's why you're so much better at it ;)
