I went to a P-jammer Party this week end!

My friend J T took me (flat peggy) to a group play day in Ann Arbor MI. Since I was unable to attend I went as a flat paper doll so I could join in the fun! J T drove from Texas and picked up some whimsy ladies on the way .

I think I had a good time!!!!!!

Thanks J T!

I managed to sneak J T 's dog Baxter for the trip!!!!

Happy 39th Birthday to son # 2!

"Baby dan" is hugging our next door neighbor, dana at his birthday party!

It was when you had small parties with favors in a brown lunch bag! We took them all to "Fairyland". A charming park where they had a petting zoo and they could go inside the shoe of the old woman's house and climb to the top!

What fun we had!!!

Crowabout collage play!

Think monday/think atc / girls with dolls

I scanned a postcard sent to my mother-in-law dated 1910.

It says

"Annette (my mother-in law) and Leta Petersen

This is the baby and her playmate. Baby is the one standing with the doll and the bear. They are as if they were playing"

My mother-in-law is "baby", it was her nickname. She had 2 older sisters. Ida and Edma!

I made it into an atc and did not alter it. I thought the picture was enough!!!

I actually saw her perform in Lake Tahoe CA, many years ago. She was in her 60 s and she was as graceful as you can imagine with her feathered fans!

3 Muses! What's in your pocket?

When I read about this challenge, "show us what's in your pocket" I went into my studio to make something. I passed by a shelf with all these drawers and this guy is there standing up in a drawer. "pocket bear", of course!

A stretch perhaps on the theme, but here's the story. I found PB at a garage sale in the late 60's just when I was starting to collect bears. You mean someone was letting this little guy go????? I rescued him and put him in my jean pocket. From then on he was with me a lot when the boys were little. He would talk to them when we went on errands or were riding in the car. He had a way of making the time go by when the boys got tired of running errands or waiting in line at the "drug store"! I think I probably carried him for about 5-6 years every day! The boys still remember pocket bear!

That's my story and I'm stickin to it!
