This is my Maternal Grandmother and one of her sisters. She passed away in 1988. She was a SUPER Grandma!!

Wow! Nicely done Deb-- I envy you all these family pics. I just heard that I will be receiving a picture of my Godmother. She died while I was quite young, have no memories of seeing her, and am looking forward to this.

Wonderful cards, ladies!

I had several ideas for this week, but I saw this image at Art-e-Zine a while back and have been wanting to use it for something -- this week's theme was perfect.

I've been trying to figure out what to do with this button for many years now. And this was a great chance to brainstorm about it. Dr. Dolittle was one of my absolute FAV!! movies when I was a little girl. My Camp Fire Troop even put on a musical for the school with cool masks that we made. So, I turned my cool black and white swirl button into a pink and black swirl button with some Burnished Russet EP and created a Great Pink Sea Snail scene with the By the Seashore UMs and Distress EPs. Fun theme Lanita. Now I gotta put my thinking cap on because I"m up next. ;)

What I started out to do involved hand stitching and flowers. This is what I ended up with. :lol:

Here is my entry for the button theme. All I could think of was the old button shoes of yesteryear!! :lol: I added brads to the sides to mimic the buttons.
