Cindy, this is absolutely PRICELESS!! You've preserved/showcased your letter perfectly - everything fits the era. I LOVE this family treasure you've created.
Beautiful sentimental layout with the photos of loving memories. The photos are lovely memories, but the sharing of such a personal item of the letter is a gesture from the heart. Your love of life and everything around you shows in all your work with such details from the heart to tell the stories
What a wonderful memory - an actual letter to your beloved grandparents and the photos to go along!!!! I love the way that you've scrapped it with details right out of the early 60's!!!
This priceless! I love that you have the original letter and envelope. What a wonderful memory. This is what scrapbooking is all about - preserving the memories.
That is so very special to have that letter in your possession and even the envelope! Such a great picture and cute layout. TFS Love the old '57 Chevy borders and lady punchouts!
My grandparents, Harry & Marie (Pop Pop and Grandma) lived next door to my Mom & Dad my entire childhood and teen years. Some of the winters they would spend in Florida near Pop Pop's sister Della. That's Della in the bottom photo on Pop Pop's left.
When they went to Florida, we would move their Canary birdhouse to our house. (We had cats, which made for some intense scenes. When I played the piano, the bird would sing and sing. The cat would sneakily climb the piano bench.
This is an actual letter I sent to Pop Pop and Grandma in 1964. I was 11 years old.
"Mickey (the canaray) is ok. He is very cute. He likes singing when Terry and I play the piano. He likes to sing espesially (spelled wrong) when I play a song I had in last weeks lesson called "There is a Tavern In the Town".
Only 25 days till my birthday (March 8) You better send me something from Florida-maybe a dress: I hope so!
Did you do any fishing yet Pop Pop? Did you get a suntan Grandma? What is your Motel like? The painter has finished the house. It looks nice-but longely. I miss you. So does Jim, Terry, Mommy and Daddy. Pleas write soon!
Love and kisses, Cindy P.S. Take care of yourself!"
