My son made a lovely little Mother’s Day card for me 14 years ago. The card has a rose covered with two sepals that can be opened. He wrote the message, "My love is blooming for you mom" on the sepals. Files to make the card are provided on the web page linked about.
I hope that wherever you went that all went well.
I’ve not taken a look at this ebook but it looks to me to have more to do with talking about homeschool in a public arena such as at a hearing on the legalities of homeschooling or some such forum. If I’m reading this incorrectly please let me know.
Group leaders, those who run homeschool websites, and homeschoolers who have any level of a leadership position in a homeschool community would benefit from the entire book.
Thanks for that info, Donna. I’ll remember this blog entry to share with others that I learn are leading homeschool groups.
