A Box for My Valentine Girl...

Ella had to make a box for her Valentine's at school. This is what she ended up with...




She worked hard for several hours on the box and the cards for her friends.



I helped her wrap the box with paper, spray it with adhesive, sprinkle it with sugar, and stick on fancy designs.



Her favorite part was sticking foam letters to a heart to spell her name.

I remember when it was okay to take a grocery sack to school for your Valentine's. Not anymore. There is so much pressure to have the best of everything. Children feel it far more now than I think I ever did as a child. True, I was floating in my own sea of oblivion until I was about 28.
