For your viewing pleasure, a picture of our Florida family trip circa December 1983ish:
I am sure my lovely blue overall ensemble will inspire someone! Good thing Heather didn't look directly at the camera, because the glare from those ginormous glasses would have melted the camera!!!
Oh my, I think I had a red and white striped jumper just like that!
i may have to grab me one of those.....
are you doing the mickey's halloween party?I am a DL girl
Oh and crazy me, I am teaching myself to crochet with what? A prirate hat!!!!!! I will post a pic if I can get it done on time. It actually is looking like a hat so that is a good start!
And my 5yr DD tried on the corset and skirt tonight and danced around, I love it mommy I love you - so much better than the attitude she had this afternoon
i saw a couple on old navy and you might want to try gymboree or the children's place.
Sorry Mama!! I think I hold the dubious honr of being the ancient of the ancient on this thread! I graduated in 1976! Shoulda been '77, but I was too smart for my britches (YES!!! I said BRITCHES!) and graduated a year before I was supposed to! Of course, I NEVER thought that when I got old, it would make me sound older then I REALLY was !!
Hey, y'all are still Spring Chickens with down still behind your ears compared to me a REALLY Old Bird!!!
Now, it took me until 1991 to graduate with my BA...Me and AliKat99 graduated 10 days away from each other! Nana
Oh, no, Nana. I got you beat...I graduated in 1968!!!! It was a great year!!!
This young women on this board are my daughter's age. One graduated in 1988, one in 1996, one in 2002. I am a real oldie moldie!

Ya know.... I truely believe if they made kids wear those things nowaday, we'd have a major riot on our hands!
Nah, that's just our older brother, the one we don't really talk about! That's not his style of redneck. He is a computer geek, but without the computer skills. He did use to have numchucks though.
You knew I'd get that one, huh?!
OMG!!! Now that you say red and white stripe.... it brings to memory the picture of the one piece gym suits we use to have to wear in gym in Middle school. You know the ones.... they zipped up the front and were ever so fashionable???
And, sometimes you can both laugh! 
When I was in middle school they must have recently changed over to the new black polyester shorts (eeeew) and gray Tshirt (meh). If you forgot your gym clothes though you had to wear one of the old stripey jumpers! LOL I only had to do that ONE time.OMG!!! Now that you say red and white stripe.... it brings to memory the picture of the one piece gym suits we use to have to wear in gym in Middle school. You know the ones.... they zipped up the front and were ever so fashionable???
Thanks for posting this. I was in hancocoks today and the Minnie dot fabric was $3.47/yd!! That's a good price. Of course, I have about 30 yds but I just may have to breakdown and buy another bolt.
I need some. Plus. I told the mother of one of my daughter's friends last night that I wanted to make her girl a custom (they are probably cruising in February.) 
Spreading the Love!!!
Okay, TeresaJoy, just for you... here is my prom dress. This picture is from my DH Ring dance at the USAFA, but it is the same dress that I wore to my HS prom and I look pretty much the same. It was the sequin era. I had 3 different sequin formal dresses, blue, fushia and green. Look quick because I will probably be deleting it soon. Sorry it's so fuzzy, but it's a picture of a pic but I hate when someone has to resort to begging.
WOW!! You definitely earned your applique badge (and twirl skirt badge, of course)! Does your machine zig-zag? I don't have a fancy schmancy machine, either. But, it does zig-zag, so I use that for applique.
each peice cut out and then HAND STITCHED down....no fancy machines here...would if I could, but my machine doesn't do that....
Very cute! The fabric paint looks great for the face.
Oh, you poor thing! Is the frankle one of those things like the poor girl (I believe it was Joan Cusack) on Sixteen Candles had to wear?
I believe this photo was pre-Hammer pants and tight rolling. At least in Michigan we didn't do that until the late 80's and early 90's.
I briefly considered checking out that board when my husband refused to take a whirlwind trip to Disney a few weeks ago. You MUST post the picture! I already posted my prom pictures a few 100 pages ago, since my sister made my dresses. But, I could repost them if you'd like.
I love your newest creation!! DD is gorgeous!! How old is your little cutie in the background? My DS turned 1 on June 13. Hey, if they had the appliques I was looking for on ebay, I sure wouldn't go through the hassle of making them myself!!
And Heather - I bought the appliqués off voldemort. I got a bunch of them and just tacking them on. It's the cheaters way for those who don't dare try to do that stuff on their own!!!!!!!!
I also hated pink. Unfortunately, before my sister got married and moved out, she decorated our bedroom in pink and blue. I got to live with that through my teenage years. I liked black... Although, my favorite colors are pink and purple now. Tessa's room is "bibbidi bobbidi blue" and "wave of the wand". She also has the coolest light fixture- ever! I'll post pictures if you'd like!Megan's room is blue. She has a yellow and blue comforter set on her daybed so we painted the room blue to match. DH has hated it from the start and has wanted it pink. I said let's wait and see what kind of girl she is, she might not like pink (I hated pink when I was a kid and my bedroom was awful pale pink and I despised it). Of course she is a princess-pink kind of girl. When she saw your pictures she said, I want that outfit and I want a pink room like Hannah-banana. She is such a weirdo, I don't know where she gets it from.
Making a "Duck" tape camper would be way too much effort for my brother.
I was going to comment on each thing individually, but I'll just do this:Nah, that's just our older brother, the one we don't really talk about! That's not his style of redneck. He is a computer geek, but without the computer skills. He did use to have numchucks though.
And, I am cracking up laughing reading your post!!! I mean, we MUST be hilarious if we BOTH think we are, right???Yeah, that huhkite, she was kind of annoying.You can call me Teresajoy, because that is what I am, Teresa joy, it's more of a description really than a name. (STOP LAUGHING HEATHER!!!!) But, unless you have the flu, I don't know if you should strain yourself with the huhkite.
I've gotta say- not nearly enough sparkle and those sleeves could be a little poofier!
