Someone gave me some satin and I used seam binding for the cord. My first attempt at applique and I used yellow gold thread to outline the black letters. We were so poor and I was determined to handmake all of the kids a gift that year to give them a bigger present pile. Sweet memories. I loved his comment on the olden days - kids! And my oldest is the same with photos, it stresses him out. Such a good read and gorgeous layouts today! So sorry I have been amiss, but am thrilled to be visiting again.
