Aunt Jane's Valentines!

The Scrapbook...
Aunt Jane is my dad's only sister.  She also lived in the old farm house in Fort Canyon.  When she was in grade school she kept a scrapbook full of the things she loved the most...post cards from exotic places, small sketches,  and pictures of puppy dogs.  She must have wanted a dog of her own...even the cover is a picture of a noble collie.

She loved dogs, but most of the pages of her precious scrapbook were filled with valentines from her class mates.  It was the 1940's when she got these cards and I have been in love with them from the first moment I got the book.  I found it in Grandma Zetta's things when we cleaned out her house.  I tried to give the book back to Jane, but she said I could have it.  So I have had years of fun using the cards and images in my Valentines crafts.

These framed cards are one of my first projects.

I've given many of the cards away to friends and family...especially Jane's girls so they would have one of their mother's cards.  I have scanned a few to share with you...

I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

Haven't posted much lately...some family dramas and traumas...you all know how it is!

Have a Lovely Friday!
