Graduation is coming just around the corner. For many it is a time of planning, preparation and party throwing. Last year I seem to remember both Sandy ~ The Reluctant Entertainer and Kristen ~ High Heels And A Hammer were hosting graduation celebrations. Kristin and I have a year or two before we throw graduation party celebrations. Just last summer we hosted a party for 16 year old boys.
