Self portrait friday!

Old birthday card for my father that my mother saved, 1964.

Vidal sasson haircut( called "an artichoke")

mini skirt

Notice my husband(then boyfriend's) fraternity pin

card is 9"x14"

Yes, this was hand drawn by me of me, a self portrait!!!

I thought my card was very similar to the contemporary cards being made at that time.

The cards were usually narrow and tall and had minimal writing on the inside.

This little beauty needed nothing to enhance the image.

However, I thought she needed some lilac flowers and some wild violets.

One of my favorites!!

Marion's Beatles atc swap!!!

My favorite Beatles song!!!

1966

So we sailed off to the sun

Till we found a sea of green

And we lived beneath the waves

In our yellow submarine!
Chorus
We all live in a yellow submarine

A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine!

We all live in a yellow submarine

A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine!
So can you guess the name of the song??????????
