Wacky Answer

I'm sure all of you chocolate lovers out there (myself included) recognized Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix as yesterday's (9-12-12) Wacky Package.  I must admit I don't really remember that style box.  Do you?

A Glut of Tags

See what happens when you buy new scrapbook papers because they're kinda cute?

The papers are by Crate Paper.  The tags are by me.

Enjoy!

Wacky Pack Wednesday

This Wacky Pack should be easy to figure out even though the packaging has changed over the years.  Do you remember the 70s style that harkened back to the early 1900s?

Enjoy!

TT/Autumn Fruits and Berries

I got a little carried away with Tag Tuesday this week.  Since "canning" was a suggestion for the "Autumn Fruits and Berries" theme, I thought of my grandmother's apple butter.  Personally, I was never a fan, but most everyone else liked it.  I have a few old jar lids for crafting purposes so decided to incorporate that into my tag.  Here are the results:

I don't think my grandma was vain about her age, but in her defense, I better explain she probably was not canning in 1912-- a little young.  I just made that up to look "vintage."

So do you like apple butter?

Enjoy!

Clothespin Man

My sister had a set of these kooky clothespin men in the early 70s.  I really don't know if they were intended to use as clothespins; you know, the two times in your childhood when you got ambitious on a hot summer day and washed your doll clothes.  Or are they just to "play" with?  At any rate, a few have survived, and my sister gave one to me.  How nice.

Enjoy!

1971 Fashions

I bought this 1971 magazine recently.  I wouldn't be surprised if my mom bought a copy in 1971!

Shirley Jones a.k.a. Shirley Partridge on the cover

Faux fur hot pants??  Fortunately, I missed out on this trend.

Interesting

My father wouldn't have been caught dead in a patchwork vest!

The very cute David Cassidy.  Pretty sure that vest never made it to a "Partridge Family" episode.

WOW!!

How mod!

Enjoy!

Tangerine

I won't deliver a sermon on the epic band Led Zeppelin-- aren't you glad?  One of my favorite Zeppelin tunes is "Tangerine," a ballad.  My little collage is a lot more cheerful than the song; I tried to capture the era more so.  Maybe someday I'll make "Tangerine II" and focus on the lyrics.  And I decided to post before summer is nothing but a memory.

Enjoy!
