Favorite childhood story - CHF

Hi friends!

We are still w/out internet and awaiting the big reveal of what the troubles could be.  Crossing fingers (and toes) that whatever it is, it's manageable!  Posting from the iPhone is no bueno :)

Today is my turn to post on the Cornish Heritage Farms challenge blog and I chose the theme of favorite childhood book.  This quote from the book stole my heart as a little girl and still makes me smile today ❤️

"Real isn't how you are made, It's a thing that happens to you.
When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with,
 but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
- Skin Horse, The Velveteen Rabbit

I loved the book The Velveteen Rabbit growing up and in turn read it to my children as well. While it has it's sad moments, it brought to mind that sometimes the unexpected brings us full circle. I used to think the Nursery Fairy visited while I was away and all my treasured dollies and stuffed animals would come to life! 

My card reflects the rabbit from the story, using a digi Bunny profile and adding it to festive colored papers in both the garden colors and of the fairy pinks :)


 
For the inside of my card, I used a piece of notebook paper
which was also reminiscent of school days :)
