A Valentine For My Pen Pal

 



 I made this for my pen pal, Olivia. She is the sweetest, brightest, funny little girl who loves to do - well,  everything. She is a bright spot in my heart. I have only met her once when I visited friends I haven't seen in 25 years. She is the granddaughter of these friends.  I love to send her cards. This one came together largely from things in the snippets box and other neglected stuff!

What a sweet idea and fabulous card! I'm sure she enjoys receiving them as much as you enjoy making them!!! Having a pen pal has become a lost art! Good for you for keeping it alive!
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Neglected Stuff challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
