Please indulge me today, in a proud mother moment.
Here in Australia we are about to finish up the school year. That means end of year reports and presentation day, where individual achievements are recognised and applauded.
Yesterday my elder daughter was awarded not one, but three awards at the school presentation day. I am so pleased that three teachers chose to recognise her participation in, contribution to, and huge efforts in the areas for which she was awarded.
She’s worked very hard throughout her time at school, so it is lovely that this year it has been officially recognised. The awards are a huge boost to her self confidence, and made her feel very special. I’m very proud of her!
However, due to attending the school awards presentation unfortunately I got very little work done!
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
Oh wow! Please congratulate your daughter for me! 🙂
That’s wonderful! Yay for her!
Please pass on my congratulations also. I hope that you daughter is as proud of herself as you are of her. A wonderful achievement – one you both are entitled to brag about.
Congratulations to her. Well worth missing a bit of work to see that others as well as you appreciate her effort and her talents!
Thank you all. She is very pleased with herself! There was no chance I would miss it – when you work for yourself, deadlines are somewhat more flexible than having someone standing over you waiting for something!
