Yesterday -1947

OMG, I had meant to come in to see this and it slipped my mind! Isn't it funny to look back to what things were like back then? What a great idea to scrap your "flashback", lol!

This is one of my favorites. You are preserving a piece of the past in a way that is SOOOO cool! Did you use a copy of the paper, or the actual paper? colors are wonderful!

You gave me some good ideas, I am in the process of doing a "Then and Now" llayout. This helps alot!!! Great layout!

I love this! Its so fun to see the prices back then...and I know what you mean about old newspapers, my grandma has a clipping from when her older sister had passed away and when they used to do the obituary's they actually put details of deaths...like one of them explained about a boy who drowned and gave details of how they tried to save him. It was really sad but really neat...you actually felt a little connected to that poor family...

Great design, Betsey...I love the old newspaper and as always you do these pages so well...The bread box looks familiar and the heating pad!!! Can you imagine going into a store today and buying a bread box for $1.10?

OH LOL!! I LOVE THIS!! Remember when I said I was going to get a newspaper from our little town from the week (cause we didn't get DAILY papers back then) when I was born for their ads???? NOW I am going to for EACH of the kids -- OR from my stash of magazines ---- the Christmas ads for those years --- oh and I'm still looking through magazines --- and you will be getting anything I find exciting but so far I've had a stack of "LOOK" magazines I've been going through -- love the news in them but nothing hits me with ads yet. ANYWAY -- with THIS treasure you won't be surpassing it with anything I may send your way. LOVE the layout too!!!! GREAT GREAT page!
