HANDMADE GREETING CARDS



I love making my own greeting cards! It is a wonderful way to use up little snippets of interesting fabric. Can you tell I love sheep? But then again, cows are such fun, also!
And then there are beads, sequins, roving, yarn, and my collection of fine-line pens and colored chalk.
Sometimes I frame these cards, and given them as a small gift. The recipient would then still be able to use the card in other ways.
Available in my Etsy shop.

BOARD GAMES

Remember Mousetrap? Our boys loved it and here one of them is playing it with a friend. This picture was taken in 1965. We now enjoy seeing our grandson play the same game with his friends!
When my parents would visit us, we would always have a game or two of Scrabble. ( Please note the use of 'clippies' in my hair, to ensure a great hairday the following morning!) This game was played in 1962, and we still love the game!!
