new Pop-Up Book

I am just thrilled. Have 14 spreads completed and in the book- 5 more to go and I will be done.
I have a meeting in a couple of days and if all is well, I'll mail another copy off to the Publisher in California.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Birthday corsage

These were popular in the late 50's and through the 60's. It was s kick to get one of these from your best friend on your Birthday- one piece of candy for every year. I got one from my best friend Toby Rosemann and wore it proudly to school. I wonder what she is up to now? We would laugh and laugh together and encourage each other to study.
.

My sweet Mother-In-Law turns 90 in a couple weeks and I could not resist making her a candy corsage. It took a bit longer to design the box and position the lettering correctly.
My most difficult task is to 'not' eat the left over candy.

Wishing you all things in moderation, except chocolate...
