Smile for the Camera! Día de San Valentín
This card is from my oldest daughter Sharon. I believe she made it for me her first year in high school (about 1994)for a Spanish assignment! I have been given many hand made cards (my FAVORITE) from my children over the years. This is the only one I have in Spanish.
Her handwriting is so pretty!
Gracias querida hija!
The Family
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

I can see that this is indeed a special treasure. So few of the cards and things that my daughters made for me survived our travels during their school years. So nice that you have these treasures. It looks like your Sharon (I have a Sharon also) is quite artistic --- and a good student.
Thank you Joan for your kind comment. I am indeed very proud of my daughter Sharon.
