Old Things

Some old things that will be added to the Heritage album I am working on. The doll head was given to my Mom's sister Mary Kathleen, she died of cancer when she was 5. The original owner of the doll died of Diptheria. From what my mom says, the body of the doll had to be burned.



The glass slipper was given to me when I was a baby by a friend of my Grandmother's. The Green Girl was given to my Grandmother as a birthday present at some point in her life. The cow bell was used by my Grandparent's in their store on the door. The Elephant was also belonged to my Mom's sister. My mom and I kind of got into a little argument about the Elephant. I am pretty sure there were two of them but she insists there was only one. I'm sure I'm right! Right?

Believe it or not- my mother used this on her hair. They did not have electricity until they moved off the farm when my Grandparent's bought a store in a small town. And the reason for documenting these? My daughter is going to get them someday and I want her to know a little bit about their history.

More heritage photos. I did 5 pages this weekend!

Another Layout

Appleman Family Photos. I could not get the right angle so the ribbon would not produce a shadow.

I'm on A Roll!

Two more pages done! My goal is to do at least one page a day. I have been doing pretty good lately. These are my grandparents on my mothers side. They were married over 50 years!

Did some scrapping this afternoon!

These two pages are about my Grandmother Shirley Josephine Kent. She hated having her photo taken and in almost all of the photos she is holding a hankerchief. From what I remember, she always carried one. The colors are a little off, it was a bad time of day to take the photos of the pages.

Kickstand Birthday Card

I found directions to make a "Kickstand Card" at Kirsten's blog: Confessions of a Naptime Stamper. The card is also a sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers. I am not adding my card to the gallery there because I basically used Kirststen's idea and just changed it a little and I don't think they or she would want that there. I needed to make a birthday card and the one she had on her blog fit the bill. I had some bright paper on hand (from American Craft) that would be great as a birthday card. I thought the candle was a cute idea so I added it to my card as well. A very easy card, I can see why she likes to make them. I made some extras to have on hand. The birthday stamp is from Stampin Up! But I could not find the box with the name. The inside stamp is from a grab bag of unmounted stamps I got almost 8 years ago - The kind of purple-ish paper that I used to mat the circle paper is really blue but when I took the photo it came out purple and no amount correcting it on Adobe would get it blue. Grrr.

Interesting!
