Day 7:
Let's say it together... awwwwwwwwwwwww! Every box I've gone through has a collection of sweet greeting cards. These must have been sent to me, and saved by my mom. She inherited this trait from my grandmother, and her mother before, who filled scrapbooks with greeting cards. I've saved some, but today's cards don't seem to be as cute or clever as they used to be.
Based on the number I've seen in all the boxes so far, she saved every greeting card she (and I) ever received. I didn't look in many of them, but I do recognize the senders, mostly they were from relatives or family friends. I sort of remember she had me send lots of cards out, too, so I guess that's why I got a lot in return.
The stuff in this box is a neat mix of lots of eras - from Gramma's childhood memorabilia all the way up to pictures of you and Aunt Virginia. I thought this one was interesting because a) you look like you are about fifteen; b) I have a red coat that looks exactly like this; and c) there are also echoes of red and aqua obsession.
Whats the story behind this? was this a high school photo?
This was my class picture from maybe freshman or sophomore year. This was when I was enrolled with some friends in modeling school which they called "charm school" for some reason. This was the trendy haircut of the day, we were going for a "Twiggy" look because I was so skinny and had big eyes. We modeled groovy outfits for the local trendy dress shop at several venues. Somewhere are some pictures from my professional photoshoot, and one I really like that was taken at a fashion show and I think appeared in the paper.
My box has been the same - dozens upon dozens of Christmas cards, specifically. Do you recognize any of the people who sent you cards as a kid?
