I don’t entirely understand all the ducks and lambs and barnyard animals on children’s stationery. I mean in my urban neck of the woods, where does a child even see any of those things, let alone grow to love them? ‘Round these parts, it’s all...

They struggled for four plus years. Dealt with an annoying roommate, egotistical advisor, and really bad food. So, you can’t just give them any old graduation card. Why not try this cute card over at Shades of Violet? But it’s just a cap on a string, you...
