The Well-Dressed Toddler of '67

Since last we left the 1967 Sears catalog, I posted baby gear.  So here is what their older siblings were wearing. 

You could even buy a plush Piglet for $2.99. How cute!! How come I never got one of these?

Enjoy!

Have I Mentioned Lately...

...that I'M COLD??!!  Our weather this week has been awful, at best.  Very cold, snowy, windy...

Makes the days seem gloomy, irksome, vexing...

I really shouldn't complain.  Up until New Year's, our winter had been fairly mild.

But somehow when your thermometer reads 2 degrees, you tend to forget about the past.

Stay warm today, people!!

Gift Card Holders

I read this how-to on making gift card holders and decided to give it a try. I made my own little bags for the inside, but other than that, it was easy.

And as long as I was making my own bags, why not use some decorative paper?

A neat idea, don't you think? You could also use them to send photos or notes. Rather unique!

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Wacky Pack Wednesday

Since this week's Wacky states it is for "twisted people," maybe I shouldn't admit that I like these and buy them often. Did you know the Super Pretzel company was named for the owner's love of Superman?  Me either.

Hope your day doesn't have you in knots!

Just A Photo #1

I decided to occasionally post just a photo on my blog. No big story, just a picture; short and sweet. You've probably had your fill of Christmas images by now, but I liked the collection feel to this shot. It's some of my daughter's treasures, and she arranged it herself.

Enjoy!

A Little Art Over New Year's

Both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day I was able to get in some crafting. I made a bunch of inchies just because I hadn't in a long time. They are fun, and more challenging than one might think. I'm not sure what I'll do with them. Bookmarks or tags come to mind. Is there much of a market for 1" x 1" collages?  I kinda doubt it. Most of these were made from old magazines snippets.

Some of my favorites from last year I added to one of my Smash books. I might glue in a couple of the latest creations.

I also snuck in a Smash page in my "Songs" book. I doubt Led Zeppelin meant horses' hooves when thinking of a title, but I like the connection.

Have a great day!
