When we had ration stamp books and my mom would trade shoe stamps for sugar stamps and etc. We had it really rough for awhile and yet my mother made everything pretty. She made all our clothes, made slipcovers, bedspreads..everything. A wonderful legacy she left for my memories.bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-46350147413234321102009-06-30T14:37:29.876-07:002009-06-30T14:37:29.876-07:00Hi there Becky!

I just did a blog entry about an author from Sweden whose books I love. Her artwork is just beautiful and also along the lines of what you show here. Oh by the way, I have started two new blogs but you can find the links easily from both of my old blogs.<br /><br />Hugs ~<br />HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060822757546401667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-60684754650500724902009-06-30T11:41:49.080-07:002009-06-30T11:41:49.080-07:00Love it!!!
