Our son Paul made this angel in grade 4. His teacher was the best teacher in the whole world - Mrs Meighen. Paul is now almost 26 yrs old and a father of one and another on the way.
Time flies.
I love this angel. He brings back wonderful memories.
We decorated our christmas tree tonight, and I have a decoration, also from when I was in grade 4, but a classmate made it and gave it to me. It is made from glued cardboard strips, a piece of lace ribbon, and small craft ribbon roses. I have no idea how it has lasted so many years, and how every year, it seems to end up on my tree. I am not one for sentimental ornaments each year, except this one.
I loved seeing your photo of the angel. I have very fond memories of the days before Christmas when we made these, and even fonder memories of the children who ripped sheets, and stuffed and glued. Thanks for your kind words. I was the one so blessed by the children I taught.
