Roseirish - your post made me think of something.....wondering if anyone would like to "play" a kind of "remember when"....that is .... something that "used to be" and maybe isn't so much any more. The mention of catalogs made me think of making Christmas trees out of the Readers Digest. You folded each page twice - and when you had done every page it was in a shape like a Christmas tree. You glued the back and front pages together and it made a round tree. Then you painted it and decorated it with anything you had - buttons, painted macaroni.
...
I tried this with my DGD a few years back - and because RD had gone to very thin paper, it only made half a tree... But we still had fun...we just had to do 2 magazines and glue them together.
Anyway...would sure love to hear your stories about special things you did growing up.

Thanks Dedemac that is really cute. Will have fun with my grandchildren with this list.
Good idea Sewbizgirl. I missed last year and I was really bummed. I now know to start looking for sign-ups in Sept. Don't want to miss another one. The hole is too much fun.

I'll definitely not be stingy with the Shiner! Y'all are welcome to it, as I prefer a nice white wine, to go along with my dark chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmm! Actually, I'm kinda wanting some buttermilk biscuits, with cheddar melted on them. It's kinda late to be making biscuits . . . so maybe I'll settle for some toast.
