I'm somewhere between you and your sister, Patty! I wouldn't want to dress up and attend, but I wouldn't think it was necessarily a living nightmare. My sister is like Patty and would laugh at me for even considering attending!

I used to wear the pantaloons under my school skirt secretly, just so I could have that bit of old-fashioned flavour with me all the time. I guess I wasn't your average teenager. I still on a rare occasion pull out my prairie dress I made and wear it at home, if I want to feel like a lady. It would be fun to have a reason to wear it out in public.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036368335364708187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-34014494758990451652008-08-22T22:22:00.000-07:002008-08-22T22:22:00.000-07:00Hi, Joanne!Wanted to let you know that I got my Pa...Hi, Joanne!<BR/>Wanted to let you know that I got my Pay it Forward package today and I LOVE it!
