Show & Tell Friday

While going through a box of love notes from my children (you know, Mother's Day cards, things written at school, etc), I decided that they were just too cute to keep in a box, only looked at once a year or so.

I chose a favorite note or story from each child. The only frame I had available at the time was actually large enough to accomodate all of the notes. I backed the backing board with fabric, attatched the notes and trimmed it all with ribbon. It now has a place of honor on my bedroom wall. I love looking at it from time to time, remembering (and missing) the days when my house was full of little kids. (Oh boy, I'm feeling somewhat emotional here!!)

This one is from Joshua. He must have been in 4th or 5th grade (he's 22 now!). He drew a picture of his dad and wrote a nice story about him and ended it with how much he loved his dad.

This little card is from Amy to me. I'm guessing she was in 3rd or 4th grade (she's almost 20). It's so cute because she always had trouble with spelling so we often laugh at the way she spelled some words (notice "Dera Mom") Anyways what makes it so adorable is she gave me a quarter!!!!! Yep, she taped it to the card!! How cute is that?
