Several times a year, I try to make cards for the grandchildren. First, I love them and miss them. Second, they all live out of town. Third, I have all of these supplies sitting around. Fourth, have you priced cards lately? Fifth, I like to make everyone feel better about their crafting abilities. Sixth, I want to leave a legacy of love. With grandchildren ranging from 14 to 1, I include money which they all will like better than the store-bought card.
Since 2 are still little, I didn't want theirs to be so scary. But the olders all had a warning on the front. I thought and though, "What could be scary to them?" I remembered the year I put my photo in Easter eggs and that gave me an idea!
Photos of their parents/grandparents with sill costumes. I found a stash of photos that were duplicates and away I went.
I hope they enjoyed them. Here are all of them since not every family can see what another family's looks like. Here are some of the cards over the past 6 years.

Between Two Worlds
Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.
This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
