Somehow my name is on there for who posted, but she did, and it's totally her comment.<BR/><BR/>See,I told you she's good at writing....very, very good. Can you believe a 16 year old wrote the comment? And what a sweet comment it is. Thank you, Shannon.<BR/>You're a sweetheart for sure.<BR/><BR/>Val FosterVal Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559447123029042457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147219902905191996.post-24355640641144611302008-12-25T19:56:00.000-07:002008-12-25T19:56:00.000-07:00I am extremely blessed to have an aunt that would ...I am extremely blessed to have an aunt that would take the time to craft such a piece as this. Intricately fashioned to fit the gift I have been given, that of writing, she has captured all aspects of one's creative being in this piece alone. She has truly inspired me to pursue my writing, as she has since reading a portion of it a few years ago. Though I am accustomed to using words in expressing myself and emotions, she has shown me through her art that I can be expressive in other ways as well. This piece will remain with me for years to come, always inspiring me, despite the challenges ahead.<BR/>~ShannonVal Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559447123029042457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147219902905191996.post-18943822857045085612008-12-06T08:49:00.000-07:002008-12-06T08:49:00.000-07:00great work! nice gift!great work! nice gift!gederthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995045752975007683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147219902905191996.post-8635229406668828522008-12-04T18:14:00.000-07:002008-12-04T18:14:00.000-07:00Oh Val, this is such a personal gift for a niece t...Oh Val, this is such a personal gift for a niece that you obviously have a very special connection too....It conveys that connection so beautifully and with deep meaning.Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651013895595834794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147219902905191996.post-28288496429673615212008-12-03T11:24:00.000-07:002008-12-03T11:24:00.000-07:00I think Shannon will love it.
