This represents Connie Jo and Cathy Sue (sputnik and mutnik) in our early days. I am eleven days shy of being four years older than my sis, mutnik. Her birthday is in January and mine in February but EVERY January on her birthday, she would say she is only 3 years younger than me. It is kind of funny that now that I am OLD, she doesn't mention the difference any more!!! Cathy would always try to be a little taller too as the little girl in this image is trying to be. This is soooooo us!!!
The measuring stick on the wall is perfect too because my sis can draw anything and everything!! The embossing folder on the bottom right edge shows a mixed up sequence of numbers....representing the reason for this challenge by Cindy that the teapot pot group cannot count. I think I am coming in the front door on this one....sure hope there are some cookies....chocolate chip fresh out of the oven!!!
Love Tuesdays!!! Thanks Cindy for another great story.
hugs to all of my sisters.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful story! This is such a adorable card, now even more special with your story of you and your sis. Let's just hope mother didn't give all the cookies away to the newbies!

Such an adorable card! I'm an only child, but I remember trying to stand in front of one of those measuring tapes on the wall to see how much I had grown. Great memories.
