The Letter DI Like
I am glad that LeeAnna asks these questions. It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream? Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home. Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain. Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us. We also got hand-me-downs. We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season. I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me. I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes! Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend. Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home. There were 30 of us all told. 14 of which were under the age of 16. It is lovely to get caught...
Your book is gorgeous! What a fabulous idea. I had never heard the term abecedary before. Congratulations on your 100 posts.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous ! I can't wait to see what else you do, you are getting alot done considering the holidays are so near! Wishing I was getting this much done. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe pages are really pretty Angie. Are you using a stamp for the letters? I like all the lace you are including and the puppies are adorable. What kind of paper are you using for the background?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am using a stamp set for the letters. On this page I used a piece of glossy paper that I applied a wax paper resist to and then inked. Or do you mean the plain beige cardstock that runs behind the lace? The lace runs between two layers on all the pages. It is actually what I used to 'bind' all the pages together.
