I digress the theme for this year is 'Pick your Precious' and as I said last month I have already done an album of my little treasures so I'm over half way there for this each month.
February is the month for love with Valentines day in the middle of it, so I wanted to do a story about love, but not a husband/wife love, a daughter/mother love.
Now my daughter is not a sentimental person so when I received this little box from her it made me cry, for it showed me just how much she loves me.
The wording on the card written as a poem
This is a very special gift
That you can only see
The reason it's so special
It's just for you and me
Whenever you are lonely,
Or even feeling blue,
You only have to hold this gift
And know I'll think of you
You can never unwrap it
Please leave the ribbon tied
Just hold it close to your heart
It's fill with love inside.
Thank you Sian for continuing to host this blog hop I really do enjoy it.
If you have enjoyed reading about my treasures why not pop over to Sian's place and read some more stories

It would have made me cry too! And it's all the more special because it's not the kind of thing she would give normally.
Oh yes, me too! Beautiful Mary :-)
That is beautiful and such a special, thoughtful gift.
Aww yes, a lovely thing for her to do and no wonder you had that reaction.

It's beautiful. I have one from my son that he made when he first started school. I liked it so much I made one for my Mum and my sister.

There's not a mom anywhere who wouldn't be touched by such a beautiful gift!
Oh the best things do come in the smallest packages!
Such a heartfelt gift, and a great scrapbook page to show it off!
I've kept several of the hand made gits they kids made for me when they were little, and I do treasure each one.
