Checkers



Checkers was one of the board games my family played when I was young. It was easy enough for young ones and fun enough for older ones. Here was a postcard I sent to signchick in Oklahoma for the Memories trade.

Also the card I sent to Pennsylvania. It is paper muffin cups. My mom did a lot of baking back then. She would make something like cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies, or yeast rolls, and when we would get home from school, the house smelled of the luscious baked goods. She also would take these cups and fill them with goodies like chocolate chips, nuts, and shredded coconut as a treat for us.

Can't believe its such a long time since I commented on your posts, but I do pop in regularly and enjoyed your dressed colourful goose card, the dog portraits, and this latest post of two cards of geometric shapes. Well done for the variety.

Jeanne - Your cards for the exchange have brought back so many memories of growing up, and I know they have for the other members of the exchange from their comments too. Good work on these!!
