The photo shows my first attempt at creating ATC cards. It was very easy and not too stressful. The cards were quick and, I think, the cards are better than business cards. They are much prettier in person.

Yesterday, I posted a “Wanted” ad on our private work website. I specially asked for a typewriter that works and preferably free, but I would be willing to pay. Also, the ad mentioned I would be using it for scrapbooking. Within five minutes I received a phone call and Mr. J. Rice gave me a typewriter …that works and he did not charge me.
Today, everything worked out perfectly. He was in a training class at the same time I was in the same building taking photos of a conference room touch panel our team installed. I met with Mr. Rice, talked a little bit, and obtained my new typewriter. He collects them and said he needed to clean out his collection, so he would not charge me. He was glad to give it to someone that would use the typewriter. He’s also going to give me an IBM Selectric II, which is my absolute favorite typewriter.
I will be using the typewriter for Project Life. Sometimes, we just need to ask for what we need.
The summer of 2005 my Dad was in the hospital. While I was there visiting him, my Aunt Ruby gave me a jewelry box and a doll (Tiny Tubber Effanbee). There is a reason she gave these gifts to me.
A very long time ago on a hot summer day and my Grandma was sitting in her chair and I was standing beside her looking at all of her beading stuff, that is when either I spied a small jewelry box or she pointed it out to me. I was about 12 years old and my Grandma, Mary Bell Maddox-Johnson, put a note in that little jewelry box that belonged to her. The note had my name on it and it was to be given to me in the future. The box had a few items that had been given to her from special people in her life. As it turned out I never received that box.
There are more photos located on Shutterfly, Jewelry Box from my Aunt Ruby.
