Oh how you made me go back in time...it has only been 32 years since high school.
The story is I would only wear blue jeans, black, white and chocolate t-shirts before my older sister introduced me to pastels. I thought they were for babies...she had some nice clothes, working in an office, I looked up to her and she gladly let me wear them, to my mom's relief. She thought I would never grow out of my "dark years". LOL These are mainly the colours of a favourite skirt and top she gave me right before she left for Vancouver, I can still smell the perfume she wore on it, event though she would always send her clothes to the cleaners.
So thanks for the walk down memory lane and thank you all for looking.
This is also, as might have guessed a thank you card for a dear SCS friend Sue (coffeestamper), she sent me the most incredible BRAK. Thanks again sweetie.
