make the rose
this set of nesting envelopes was made by stella (age 11 now, she might have been 10, in may, when she made it)
everyone who has seen the set of envelopes is amazed at both the cleverness as well as the really cool drawing and painting. thank you so much stella.
sorry about the two photos that are sideways. i have no idea why they flip themselves. they all look the same when i load them...

  3. I can't believe that my envelope is the envelope of the year. I spent so much time on that envelope. I made it so long ago that I did not even remember I made it.

  6. What's also great here, is that the first one by itself is excellent. And I am impressed that Jean kept it under wraps all this time - kudos to her for keeping it a secret until now!
