A slice of...my childhood
For Darrah Parker's 6 week Slice of Life Project.
This weeks theme is 'What Matters to You' and the Focus is 'Your Home'.
This is my first stuffed animal, Casper the Ghost. My aunt gave him to me when I was 1 years old and he's been hanging around for the last 35 years. He's gone to college, visited other countries and even had some work done ( a neck lift and a nose job). Now he belongs to my daughter and it looks like he might be hanging around for another 30 + years.

Such a cool thing to pass on Jaime :) Casper must have a lot of sentimental value to you and your daughter. Bet you two explored some wild places around the world!
