Teenage Years...
1. Did you have a teen heart throb? Wanna tell who it was and maybe why? Maybe there was a teen actress you looked up to? The Beatles. Bobby Sherman , Jermaine Jackson and a few more. I had a poster of Clark Gable with Vivian Leigh in my room. I thought he was sexy, even if he was dead. I liked watching Peggy Lipton in Mod Squad and Angela Cartright in Lost in Space.
2. When you were a teen, what song made you happy when you heard it playing? Did you and a boyfriend/friend have 'Your" song?
So many good songs in the 60's & 70's I liked Spirit in the Sky. When I hear that song, I think of the kids from my church youth group at my house. We are in the garage playing ping pong and snacking. Bye Bye Miss American Pie was popular when I was 16. Certain songs remind
me of events and some remind me of people. Day by Day was popular in 1972 when I was dating Kevin Dodd along with many other great songs. I really liked Kevin. He would come over to help me with my Chemistry. We went to the Harvest Ball and football games, out to eat and the Silver Ball. we had lots of fun together. But then things slowed down. Years later he told me he was a new Christian and I was a temptation for him. I was happy he told me that. He gave me up for Jesus! He was a good friend of my cousin and my husband got to meet him at her wedding. I met his wife too and she even suggested he send back all the notes I had written him that he found when he closed out his mom's house after she passed
I made this outfit too. Those wide big pants were in style.
Spring Fling 1973
It was music that brought my husband and I together. When I was 17 and he was 18, our church youth group went to the Skate Ranch. I asked him to skate when it it was Girl ask boy dance. Later when we were talking about music, I told him I had the album to a song and it he wanted to come over and borrow it. After that, we started dating. We would send each letters and write names of songs on and in the letter. I still have those letters, and I know they are in a box in the garage.

3. Were sleep overs a thing in your area? How about sweet 16 parties? Were they the thing to do or not? I did have a party for my 16th birthday, but just with girls and very simple, food, cake and music. I had just come back from 6 weeks in Mexico and it was a great summer! I don't remember sleep overs, but lots of fun things that I did with clubs in High School and youth group.
4, You are suddenly transported back in time and you are 16 years old.
You've got school tomorrow.. lay out your outfit for tomorrow and tell us what it consists of.
This is a dress I made. I made several dresses that year.
We could not wear pants until 1969 and this was 1972.
This is me with my dad. I sure miss him!

5. Life would be boring without My faith, family & friends and Bible journaling.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I love putting Scripture together with graphics. It can be in my journaling Bible, travel Bible or in a journal. I am working on a Lent project. It focuses on the names of Jesus. I am following a plan I found from a group on Facebook. I shared a picture on my previous post.
Here is another one. I purchased the graphic from Etsy, and added some of my own things.
