My Hidden Treasure

The Letter



The Reverse (spelling list)



Bottle Top is handmade by moi :)

My LO is about a letter Kahli slipped into my wallet without me realising until my DH, Domenik and I were in WA for a friends wedding March last year. It's such a special piece of paper for me, this is the first time it's been out of my wallet (except when I've been reading/holding it) since I discovered it... I love that she did this - it's a real treasure for me Put together using materials from the Scrapbook Nook kit for July 2010 featuring Sassafrass Lass papers.

The journalling (which is a mess, Kids interrupting, bumping and being pains whilst I was trying to write augh!!) reads:

"When Nathan, Dom and I went to Kalgoorlie for Ben and Paula's wedding on March 19th 2009 I found Kahli had slipped this letter into my wallet. On the back is her spelling list!!

Through the tough times with her I would often get it out and realise she really is a sweet little things despite it all"

PS: Kahli throws the most shocking temper tantrums and is currently being investigated for being on the autism spectrum (her older brother has aspergers so it's a strong possibility) hence the last paragraph.

Hope you like I loved completing this challenge - it made me think but in the end it's come together as a very special LO for me
