As I write, Rylee is traveling home from California. She has been with the Cantus Youth Choirs, in Anaheim, for the Heritage Music Festival (& playing in Disneyland!!!). When she called home she said, "No offense, but we kinda don't want to come home. It's warm here and we're sorta having the time of our lives!" Like it or not, she'll have to come home and face reality soon enough.
I wanted to congratulate her on a job well done and make her a little surprise for when she got home. When I saw these lollipops, they just said Disneyland to me. I decided to make her a lollipop bouquet.
I got the bucket from the Dollar Spot at Target (Easter 50% off), found some floral foam in my craft stash, printed some Disney images from the internet and made up some congratulatory words in Print Shop.
When I put it all together, this is what I got.
Hopefully this treat will make coming back to the reality of life, a little SWEETER. :)Update:
The Cantus Youth Choirs did AWESOME!
The Virtuoso choir (the older, more skilled choir)came in second place (by only 1 point!) for the WHOLE competition.
All 3 choirs received SUPERIOR and GOLD ratings.
They also received 2 special judges awards.
And out of the 5 top choirs, that were invited to New York's Carnegy Hall.... Cantus was 3 of them!!!
Not bad for a first year, eh?

Super cute bouquet.
What a highlight batch of singing they did! I imagine she has a great feeling of accomplishment (even though she has to come back to regular ole life! :o)
I LOVE IT! What a super fun trip for Rylee. Completely jealous I am of both the trip and the welcome home gift.
Way to go! Does that mean she is now saving for NY?
