Margie plays Mexican Train Dominos every week with a wonderful group of women in her neighborhood. I met a few of them while I was there and it's clear they are a pretty special and supportive group. Several months ago Margie consulted me on a project she was doing for the group....A Scrapbook in a Jar. She wanted to capture the humor, the individuals, and the essence of their group using little cards and tokens that she would put in a jar for each member of the group. Since she didn't make one for herself...we borrowed Alice's so I could see the finished product.
Her cards were clever, thoughtful, and personalized for each member. It was a labor of love...and she had a great time doing it. That's what it's all about. Nice job Margie!
She wanted to represent a private joke they all have about the woes of aging women. I found this cartoon image and just changed the caption...it was perfect. Margie said she laughed all day when she got them in the mail.
I printed a sheet on card stock and cut them into little cards.
I think I had as much fun talking with Margie about the project as she did putting it all together. And I really enjoyed seeing the finished product.
Keep Calm and Domino on!
