ReplyDeleteThank you ... I'm sure you could see her in your mind's eye. Down to every last freckle!
DeleteAhhh, the first day of school. We are fast approaching that as well. Unfortunately my kiddos leave all the labeling to me.
ReplyDeleteThey are a bunch of label-junkies ... they get it from their mother!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
ADORABLE
ReplyDeleteThank you ... she is and hope I did her justice!
DeleteI remember those days (looong time ago :)) Funny...my sons don't care. They won't write their names on anything whether it be folders or notebooks- or homework assignments!
ReplyDeleteI remember vividly the excitement of all those new supplies ... I still get excited when I see the shelves start filling up with pencils and paper! Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThank you ... there is magic in the school supply aisles at the store! Instant transportation back to childhood!
DeleteThis is precious! I especially love the description of her letters. :)
