Kid At Heart Finds

The latest finds all happen to be kid friendly-- maybe even more so to us "big kids." Yet another Memory card game. This one is a 1978 version. A Tell-A-Tale book from 1953, The Gingerbread Man. Also a deck of vintage animal Snap cards.

Here is a better look at the cards. They sure don't make graphics like this anymore.

I also found a Little People house by Fisher Price. I have one already I bought used when my daughter was a tot; that one came with some of the furniture and a few people. My daughter played with that quite a lot. This one will be up for sale.

Fun finds-- they kinda make you smile.  Have a nice day!

Weekly Album Update

Time to catch up with my mini weekly album. Easter week is up first. Would you believe I had this bunny/kid image in my stash?

Actually "busy week" and "flew by" seem to come into my conversation a lot these days.

Yes, I wore shorts for the first time this year. Hurray! Seemed like a long time since I dug those out.

A very crafty week which I like.

A new month and National Scrapbook Day. I did participate in some online scrapbook challenges.

Thanks for checking in today and have a good one!

Wacky Pack Wednesday

No prize for guessing this week's Wacky Pack. An easy one. Hefty trash bags.

Enjoy!

TH Tag May

A new month means a new tag challenge at the Tim Holtz blog. If you've been following along, you know I decided to make an ATC and coordinating inchie instead of a tag. Here is my take on May's tag:

That lovely lady is my grandmother (the same photo as the "Four Generations" layout I posted here awhile back). I copied the photo and cut it down to look like a wallet or photo booth type photo. As far as the quote goes-- that could be said for both of my grandmothers.

Thanks for looking!

Hodge Podge of Finds

Showcasing some recent finds today. Up first is what a lot of resellers would call a major dud-- vintage coffee mugs. They generally do not sell well, but these were a bargain and I love stackable mugs.


A unused scrapbook, a small baggie of sequin fish, and a Nancy Drew-- both for my daughter.

Pretty cool book and a nice tie for my FIL.

Note the original price tag still tucked in the end of the tie. I paid 75 cents. I think we can safely call that a bargain.

A very nice Joan Walsh Anglund book.


There you have a sort of odd mix of finds.  Thanks for looking!

Animal ATCs

I decided to use these animal stamp stickers I had on some ATCs recently. Kind of different-- I like the way they turned out.  Making ATCs is really limitless-- you can use anything to create them.


Thanks for viewing!  And a note to all you creative types out there: do you tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day? Have fun!
