Well some of those are before my time but I sure remember things like the gum wrapper chains and S&W stamps! A&W still exists, which is wacky cool!

LOVE THIS! I remember saving them...and remember when you would get a big one, and it would only have to go on the bottom of the page? And that would count for the whole page? ...I think we need to start a movement to bring these back.

A lot of this I do remember but not the S&H stamps ... I had heard of them, seen pix of them but never collected them, I guess Mom didnt shop at places that gave them out.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Could you imagine a time where no one would recognize what a skate key was, ha!
The metal ice cube trays, ugh, they were always a battle. Ha.

I remember gluing my grammy's green stamps in books for her using her kitchen sponge.

And the ice cube tray! Yee haw!

I froze my hand to one of those ice trays once...and I can STILL point out where the S&H Stamp redemption center use to be. We still have an A&W place too.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
