LOL. There exists a picture of me from that year wearing a shirt with Betsy Ross sewing the flag. I had a t-shirt that year - there was a lady/girl churning butter. I had a coordinating long sleeve, button down shirt. Yeah, I was styling. I had a colonial outfit with a long dress, an apron and a mob cap, as did my mom, sister and grandmother. We were very into the Bicentennial

Ok, I love photo threads to begin with but LOVE the old pics!! Let me see what I can dig up... Here's one of me and quite a few of my cousins...1978. I'm the one in the front on the right in the reddish colored shirt and khaki dress. I love this one. Me and my dad...I was probably 2 so 1979? I miss him so much. Is your dad's name Ralph? My dad was Ralph. A good name that needs to come back into common use.

Pretty sure I have shared this one before, but it reminds me of just how groovy I was right from childhood, haha. My mom nurtured my free spirit and sense of individuality by letting me dress in whatever I wanted and I thank her to this day for that. I believe that is what etched being "comfortable in my own skin" or in this case clothes, into my personality. Enjoy... YES!... someone else who picked out clothes the same way I did!

Oh, I remember those yarn hair ties. And later on came the ones that were a hair elastic with ginormous plastic balls attached to them.. man you could tangle your hair up good in those things!

I missed this thread the first time around. Loved seeing all the great vintage photographs. This was my birthday (not sure which one). I did not like skating, but almost every year my gift from my mom and dad would be ice skates, because my mom liked skating and felt skates were something everyone should have. She also insisted I wear my hair short, although I prefered it long. The little plastic bag came with a matching plastic umbrella.

This was taken in '79 or '80. I'm the youngest (and the one picking her nose) in the picture. Since no one was born after me, I'm the youngest cousin in that group. We now range in ages from almost 50 to 37. One cousin is pretty close to becoming a grandma (her son just got married and they're Mormon. The new wife was talking babies at the wedding). We attempted to re-create the picture at my Grandma's memorial service earlier this spring.

There is so much 90s going on in this photo. It's a crappy cell phone pic of it so you can't really see my BRIGHT red lipstick and BRIGHT blue eye shadow. But trust me, in the original pic you can see it well. It's me showing off my cake of the British flag I made for a school project. My grandma had a wedding cake business so if you needed something baked or decorated she was your gal. The makeup is from my aunt letting me play with her stuff while the cake was cooling. She always let my sister and I pick out makeup, shoes, and costume jewelry to wear while we were there visiting. Attachments:

My cousin celebrated her 30th wedding anniversary earlier this month, so I have these to hand. I was the bridesmaid, and my brothers were the pageboys.
Here I am with my Mum
All of us together
My aunt (the bride's mum) made my dress.

Found one more...Dressy Bessy AND a Little People house. (and what looks like a boy's shirt...there's no telling) Love this!! I had the same Little People house!! And the school and the barn. The funny thing is my DGS, who is 6, loves playing with them. Most of the people are gone but he loves using his toy figures and cars. He will play for hours with them.

JoP , I'm loving that bow in your hair! This is me in 1975. I am very proudly showing off my Dux medal. Don't you love how that classic 70s sunburst clock looks like some kind of spiky halo?!

Not sure if I did this right! The pic looks small but it's from 1965 (I think). I loved my MouseTrap game and I think my brother is playing with some Mechano. My Mom who hated having her picture taken is hiding behind the chair holding up my Easy Bake Oven. LOL! The half finished china cabinet my Dad was working on.....for years! And the huge light bar that Dad used with the old movie camera is sitting on top of the hassock. No sneaking up on anyone when that thing was switched on!

This is one of my favourite photos, taken in 1964 in Calcutta, India. I'm the youngest one. I just love how beautiful my mum looks in that gorgeous dress! We don't have a lot of childhood photos so I really cherish the ones we do have. Attachments:

The 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride!! I remember that ride. (I too have a vintage WDW pic...horses on Main St.) It wasn't until I saw your post that I recognized that ride. I had gone with my family to WDW back in 1978 and remember how awesome I thought that ride had been at the time. I think I have some vintage photo of a horse & carriage on Main St, too. I'll have to look up those old photos (never got them scrapbooked, unfortunately). Am loving this thread!
