Valentine's Day 1931
She...a tiny, 15 yr old, black haired beauty.
He...a tall, slim 20 yr old, country boy.
He...spent 25cents to purchase a pop-up Valentine for his soon to be June bride.
She...carefully saving it all these years, displaying it each Valentine's Day, so that we're still enjoying it 80 years later.
Such a precious legacy of faith, creativity and family this couple left their 4 children, 9 grandchildren and 18 greatgrandchildren.
Mr. & Mrs. H.M. Dalton
A legacy of love.
A huge THANK YOU! to my cousin Beth, a Stampin' Up demonstrator, for taking the last minute pictures of our grandmother's card so I could share it with you today.
Go visit her at Crafty Creations by Beth!
Happy Valentine's Day!
