This is an Easter card I made using yellow, blue and white paper I bought @ Hollo's.
Hollo's buys paper stock from company's that are going out of business.
They can get the paper (card stock) at a good price and will sell it
at a great price. Card stock was most often $1.00 a pound and there would be 18-21 sheets
in a pound. If you go to the Google and put in Hollo's Papercrafts, then hit "images" you will see all the card stock they carry - every color of the rainbow, white and colored envelopes, and
envelopes in many sizes. It was a stamper's paradise. "Walk in that door and the feeling
you get is better than an orgasm", said one lady.
The reason for all these words about the Hollo's? This is where Bill gets his card stock and envelopes.
In fact, I didn't know Bill went to the Hollo's until I had been stamping for several years.
This was taken on a swing in Bill's back yard. Isn't he clever with his photos! and words!!
Bill has a cottage on a river outside Ashtabula, OH. Every fall a group of friends gather for
the Cottage Pumpkinfest to carve pumpkins.
Bill builds T frames and the people dress the T and put a carved pumpkin on top.
This is Santa Pumpkin.
And.... here is another October Christmas card. These pumpkins were carved by
the guests that attended the Cottage Pumpkinfest.
Notice the red and green and white card stock? Yep, from the Hollo's.
This is a picture of Bill's 5-year birthday party. Bill the the boy at the far right of the
first row of kids standing up. Such a cutie!
Bill was the Student Director (of the band, I'm guessing) at Ramsay High School
in Mt. Pleasant, PA. He is a senior in this picture.
FRONT OF CARD
This is Bill, wearing the Boy Scout uniform he wore when he was
a Junior in high school. How about that for keeping your figure!
BACK OF CARD
CLEVER!!!
Every year I look forward to May 27th - my birthdate
and Christmas to see what Bill has planned for his greeting.
