DEEDS had to make a poster last year on GRANDPARENTS DAY at school....
SHE was in KINDERGARTEN
*notice here the spelling of CONKLIN...hee heee..love it !

Bless her heart, she chose me for her subject...(of course, it was nice that her mommy knew a little early history on me..:O)
that 1942 pic is of my grandpa, a cousin and my little self...
*
*
and, let me tell you right here...I LOVED THAT CHEVY......
WOO HOO...I thought I was SO SO fine....
*
I laughed so hard when I saw this area of the little poster..HGTV....oh, yes ma'am....I did love to watch it.!
and LOVED RATE MY SPACE...for awhile..
all the family, including little DEEDS, teased me about it !!
*

I tried my hand at quilting and made quite a few of the EXTREMELY easy ones...
in fact, I don't sew but I so wanted each of our 10 grandkids
to have a handmade quilt from their Memaw..
in one year, I made every one of them a quilt...
now, shhhhh....don't tell them that the quilts aren't
all that pretty...they THINK they are !!
But, now they each have a quilt from their VINTAGE grandmother that I hope
they will always be glad for.
I didn't have a grandmother..both died before I was born...
but if I DID have one, I sure would love a quilt or anything else
that she made...
*
I am pretty sure I don't have to tell you how proud I wasto go to GRANDPARENTS DAY .....and find this cute,
bright green poster, JUST filled with love, hanging in the hall of the school...
BWAAAAAAAAAA....

This is the sweetest post. Everytime you talk about your grandkids calling you Memaw, it so pulls on my heartstrings. That is the beloved name I called my precious grandmother.
Hats off to you for taking the time to make something handmade for your grandchildren. Too bad more people do not see the importance in that and too bad they don't take the time to do something like that.
I treasure the one item I have that my grandmother sewed for me. I just wish I would have kept more things....
Have a great week!
BJ - There are no rules here....just fun!!
that is just the sweetest.
Oh thats adorable BJ!!! How sweet to feature YOU!!
BTW...LOVE those vintage red canisters in your previous post!
What a lovely post BJ. I love that you made each of your grandchildren a quilt. My maternal grandmother made each of us one and gave it to us when we got married. Then, when she passed away, we found a new quilt for each grandchild laid up and awaiting our next anniversary. I still hold them as 2 of my most prized possesions! Thank you for sharing your lovely granddaughters with us! Have a great day!
Many hugs.........
Diane
ahhhh.. this is sweet.. nice poster.. a good way to jog back down to memory lane.. happy VTT
Oh you are the clever one to share yourself as vintage. I'm vintage too, just in my mind I'm still the same age I ever was. :-)
You made me giggle this morning presenting yourself as vintage! Your grandkids are the cat's meow! What cute cute kids! I would just love to be sitting in that chevy right now!
Oh how sweet BJ!! I bet you did cry, I woulda done the same!! Amelia will be 2 in June and for the first year I couldn't even hold her without crying, and read a book to her, OH MY I would start choking up before I got to the last page! Those childrens books are so sentimental! LOL! Your grandkids are lucky to have you near and dear, enjoy BJ!! xo
Love,Love the post! Ruby
Awww BJ, I love your grandkids and I don't even know them. They have the kind of relationship I missed with my grandmother's. We moved to Fl. when I was 9 and they were in MI.
Your poster is just the sweetest 'thingie' ever. I remember your post about the quilts. You made me encouraged to finish the quilt projects I haven't touched in two years. Yes, I am going to get them done!!!
I love your post today. Thank you for sharing your treasure.
Hugs xoxo...Jeanne
Ah, this is just the sweetest thing ever. And, you deserve it.
I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day, too.
Hi there, I am hosting a book swap over on my blog. It is a permanent feature, which will always be on my blog, it is not a one off, like the rose theme swap I'm hosting. I have listed a load of my books which I am willing to swap, take a look, there may be some you fancy. If you would like to list books which you no longer want, and are willing to swap, just contact me at rosehyacinth@hotmail.co.uk, or leave a comment on my blog, with your name, the name of your blog and the books you wish to swap, and I will type them up and post them on the swap page, so the more and more people who participate, the wider the range of books there will be to choose from, and remember, it will always be there on my blog.
Take Care
Love Melanie xxx
Such a wonderful display of love...you for your grandchildren and then the "Poster". That child certainly does show her love for her GrandMother.
You are building wonderful memories for all those children.
Oooo, I hope some day I am someone's project! I'd better get started on some hobbies!
That was sweet and lovely and wonderful and just all things good! Congratulations on being the perfect kind of celebrity!
Bj, everytime you post about your beautiful family I am struck by just how lucky you are! Such a sweet, loving bunch of people:>) Ten quilts in one year? Wow! I am sure they will treasure them always for all the love and work you put into them. My grandparents meant the world to me, and I can see that you mean the world to your family:>)
How sweet! Love the "HGTV" part!
XXDenise
That is so sweet. I love that she knows you so well. I'm certain that you must be the best Memaw.
Enjoyed your post!
What a wonderful grandmother you must be! You can wear that badge proudly! Very endearing post!!
How sweet is that? I loved this post! It's fun to see your life from the grandkids point of view.
Hugs, Terrie
What a special tribute!! Loved all of the pictures on the poster. We also have grandparent's day at our kid's school, and have lunch there with the kids and tour their classrooms. The cooks always make great cinnamon rolls, and we have a wonderful time making memories. Sally
How very sweet! I loved hearing about all the things you do with your grandchildren and knowing the beautiful memories you are building with them.
My Mom died when my son was two and I wish so much he could have had his MeMaw. (I would have loved to have my Mom, she was a special lady)
Betty
What a wonderful tribute to you! Your granddaughter really know you well, doesn't she?
Hugs,
Penny
