Help with a unusual card...

20 years ago

Hello to all you nice folks. Our son gave us a wonderful surpise 40th Anniversary Party. It was terrific. Now I want to send out the thank you's and I want to do something a little different. I thought about sending a picture from our wedding or from the party or both. But I want a really different way to do it. For my son and my niece who helped him I want to make up a little album of then and now. Any ideas on the card making itself or on the wording? It does not matter it all the wording is the same for them all. I was thinking of maybe a church shape card maybe. Please help me. I also posted this on paper arts and the C&D forum, but you scrapbookers have some really neat ideas. TIA

I am assuming by now you have got some suggestions from other resources. But if you have not, or for future ideas, one thought is take several photos, sayings, etc put them on a single piece of paper, scan them so they are all on one sheet. Then you could quickly personilize each one before sent out.

There are a few websites that will make real cards from your picture. They cost about $2 each. My friend gets them and they are amazing. Look professional, your choice of writing on the inside and you get to choose the picture! She gets them either from Snapfish.com or shutterfly.com

A quility fixture has identifying marks cast into the body and often the mfgrs name under/inside handles and/or stems. You have the choice of dealing with better plumbers or taking fixture to a plumbing parts distributor. If you can take them to Dallas Tx,I can give you names but I don't keep up with places I don't service.

Looks totally like the 70's. Here's Sherwin Williams' take on colors of the time https://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color-through-the-decades/1970s Not likely it contains asbestos. Lots of articles about that if you google. I posted some old tile on Craigslist for free. Had a lot of takers. If you have a lot of it, you might be able to get some $ for it. If not, check to see if Habitat ReUse near you will take it. They are getting sort of picky about what they'll take around me.

Put in the depth by the inch if you need that. Check the installation pdf file to see if handles are included. I don't mind seeing available choices including refrigerator only models. Choices are options. If you find something you value, other things can be rearranged. Called prioritizing. When OP says they only have so much space, it gives me the impression they may wish they had more. In this case I could see a 30" wide refrigerator only with an inexpensive manual defrost upright or chest freezer in another location. More total cold storage without the space restriction limitation.

The windows look out to the front porch. Some privacy is desired, but we don't need total privacy. It's a small room being used as a den/study. Each window opening is about 23 x 23'. The only thing I can think of is one big curtain rod across the top with two wide sheer panels, if I can find them. Any other ideas?? The windows are cool and I don't want to hide them too much.
