{A Swell Book}

Love, love this little book and the oh-so-adorable retro illustrations.
This is one book in a set from my mom & dad's house.
I think my mom bought the set from a door-to-door salesman in the late 60's, before she even had kids.
My kids love looking through these books when they stay with grandma & grandpa.
This one is my very favorite though, I loved this one the most when I was little.
I remember looking through it, sitting in the hallway next to the book case, trying to decide what I wanted to make...a baby doll cradle from a shoe box, sock puppets, shadow puppets or race cars from old boxes. The possibilities were endless.
Oh, if life was still so simple.
Sigh.

You know how I keep saying I am not caught up on everyone's coffee posts, visiting blogs, 

answering emails, etc? 

Like every single week I am saying this. 

Well, I am again this week, too. 

There is a lot going on and not just busy-busy stuff but other stuff and I am getting by the best I can

 but I have to let some stuff go. And right now I need to get back to painting scenery for the kindergarten musical that needs to be done...ummmm...by tomorrow.

Yeah, tomorrow. 

Hope everyone has a great day. 

I don't mind being stuck inside painting and cutting and gluing today because it's another rainy, 

dreary day! Oh well.
