It’s official. One’s starting Kindergarten and the other is going on to 1st grade.

I woke up at 6:50am to find Madeline already dressed in her school uniform, her teeth brushed and hair combed (as best she could) and she was grinning from ear to ear. I think it’s safe to say she’s pretty excited to start the new school year.

This morning went by in a blur (as most mornings do in this household) so I’m glad I took the time yesterday to get their “signatures” documented. They each picked a 3×4 journaling card from the Midnight Edition Core Kit, grabbed a sharpie and got to work. paislee-2014blogged-8485

They ended up embellishing with illustrations as well, which I love! These will go into our 2014 album…you know, the one I haven’t started yet. (See last year’s penmanship card insert + back to school layout HERE).

Their cards are so adorable! I so love the little illustrations they both added.

Liz, you kinda made my day that I’m not the only one who is behind with PL for this year. I have all the supplies just haven’t started yet. I know I will go with the 12×12, that’s a good start 😉

Hope both girls had a blast during their first day of school!

oh goodness they are so cute!!

They are just adorable, Liz.
What precious images, and such a brilliant idea to document their signatures before school returns. You know I’m going to pinch your idea…
