I graduate a lot. You could say that graduating is what I do. I'm a professional graduater (graduator?). I graduated high school in 2000, college in 2004, with my Master's in 2006, and my doctorate will be in 2008 (if all goes well!). Since this happens fairly frequently and I am a poor graduate student, I wanted to save some money. I decided to forgo the $40+ invitations and print my own. At the clearance aisle at a nearby Wal-Mart, I found this graduation paper for $1.00. The envelopes were .50 per package and I purchased two packages. I also bought some embossed envelope seals for $2 at a paper store. I had some free address labels that were silver and matched perfectly. God totally provided this for me, as I made for $4 what would have otherwise cost me $40+. Unfortunately, the honor cords and medal you see there cost me $28. At least I will be able to wear them at my next graduation and if I am ever a professor who has to wear academic regalia!
I also decided to forgo the $40 picture package. My family took plenty of pictures, and I will print or enlarge those for a much smaller cost. :)
