STRAW AND A BOTTLE CAP

submitted by: Titia Carter

My boyfriend made me a valentine card last year that was way better than any he could have bought at a store. It was made on a folder with no pockets inside, and it opened just like a card. The front of the folder said “To the love of my life”.

When I opened the folder he had made a flower that was 3D. he used a green straw for the stem, a bottle cap for the middle of the flower, and red cardboard for the petals, the leaves were real leaves, and the inscription on the inside said “you are my unique flower”.  It was signed “The love of your life”. He left it under the windshield wiper of my car on valentines day so I would find it as soon as I got off of work. Even though his name was not on it, I knew exactly who it was from.
