Did you know that today was International Women's Day?
Comments (2)I work in an all girls school, so we celebrate it (and the girls), but I had no idea it was such a huge deal in the Ukraine. I'd be interested to know how it came about to be such a big deal there?...See More5 Generation Hands Picture
Comments (3)Well, let's see. This first picture is scanned from my grandmother's wedding photo. Obviously, I didn't take that one! But I did the scanning. I took the photo of the second picture, but it also came from a printed photo and it was scanned and cropped from the original. (Believe it or not, it was the ONLY clear picture I had of my mother's hand.) The picture of my hand was taken by my husband. I took the final two. Except for the first photo, the photos were changed from color to black and white in Photoshop Elements. I am the author of the blog. So glad you liked the final product. I am quite taken with your American Hands Project. I remember my father's hands so well - scratchy, calloused, rough (missing the tip of one finger), etc. He could build just about anything and knew his way around woodworking tools and cement trucks. And he taught me well. He worked in an air conditioned office as a civil engineer to support his family, but his heart was never really in it. Although I'm in my 60s now, every once in a while, when I shake the hand of a man with rough hands, I am drawn back to the days when his guiding hands wrapped around mine to teach me the proper way to handle a tool or a fishing pole or the gear shift on his pickup. I wish you much success and will check back from time to time to see how the project is progressing....See MoreInternational Women's Day wish

Comments (62)While I understand your comment about not wanting to look like you are "living high on the hog" so to speak, I think it is worth remembering that looking polished looks successful and that does not require status symbol level of bags, shoes and watch. WRT to bags and shoes specifically, whereas how you wear an outfit goes a long way toward how good it looks, shoes and bags exist outside of that. They kind of stand alone and need to always look pretty spiffy. When the Kiehl's family still owned that skin care company, they instructed their salespeople to give more generous samples to people whose shoes looked scuffed, reasoning they needed the help more than others. Watches may just be status symbols these days since they are totally unnecessary....See Morevee_new
