Back in the 1980s, when bad fads were abundant, I started one of my many entrepreneurial ventures.
Besides mowing lawns, paper routes and lots of babysitting, I also created chocolate suckers (chocolates from cool molds) and made a few crafts.
Shocking, I know. I do not make crafts at this point in my life. Only take pictures, re-type journals and make cool MyPublisher books.
But, I digress.
Though many people were creating photo album covers and photo frames with calico type fabric and cheesy patterns, I refused to do so. I would only buy silk or fake substitutes.
Here is one that I made for my grandmother. She gave it back to me a couple of years ago and as I de-junk around the house, the realization that this must be captured in pictures and then given away to Goodwill is upon me.
I can't believe I was a glue gun expert and liked making these things, but it does look classy in a 1980s kind of way.
Wish I had a picture of the lacy little jewelry basket top that I made. These are all during the time of the "Victorian" craze that some of my sisters went through while I desperately tried to be interested, but was not.
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, off to Goodwill I go....
