(back)When I was around four years old I found this card snooping in my
grandmother's cabinet. She let me take it home that day and I've had it
ever since. As a child I was completely enchanted by this card.
There was something so magical about the saturated colors,
the angels, the starry sky, the creamy roses...
Through the years there have been many times when
I thought I'd lost the card forever. It would always show
up eventually, and I'd be so relieved. It still holds magic.

What a special treasure. Love the story behind it and seeing your hand printed name. Wonderful post.
What a nice memory of your grandmother, and of your childhood.
I'm enchanted by it too. A treasure.
Precious things... oui, un trésor !
Precious! Feliz Natal, my sweet Janis:-)
beautiful paper treasure ...
ok, i think i have three questions:
1) is that anything like......:Alice, you're going TO THE MOON!!!!! (?)
2) did you write "Janis" on it? or did someone else?
3) could I like it better, if George "W" Bush wasn't featured prominently on it?
(Answer to No. 3: YES!)
otherwise, I agree, it's v. pretty janis!
Mlle P - #1 humm, interesting concept. #2 Yes I did, and my hand writing still looks the same. #3 I'll have to pretend I didn't read #3 or else I'll never be able look at it again! Augh!!!
uh oh! sorry! such a sweet card! i take that back - he doesn't look anything like that guy. don't you have a cute little nephew he resembles more?
love this kind of finds! your card is magical because it must be full of memories...!
Mlle P - Not to worry! Your comment (#3) gave me such a laugh. Keep the observations coming :^)
Ohhh I like it too and can picture how as a child it would be mesmerising. Such a funny quirky mix of styles, can see how it has become an important treasure for you.
ohhhhh...
Happy creamy rosy Natale to you Janis

your hand written name on this is the best Janis.... its just reminds me of the way a child fully inhabits owning something.... how life and death an object can be.... how filled with meaning!
Love that you keep finding it even if it goes astray for a while!
Best to you this xmas!
