    Yaaaahhhh, the sun is shining on a Monday!  It feels so good.  I'm here to post another "Faces from the Back" card.  In honor of Spring this is a picture of me at age 13, and my brother Mike at age 18 going to the prom.  Mike's prom date for this dance was Mary (my now sister-in -law, and the sweet voice you talk to whenever you call Mina Lee Studio).  I have to find a picture of them together from this prom to post.  I was too young to go to the prom at this time, but we were allowed to be the "punch pourer's" if we had an older sibling going to the prom.  Let me tell you it was a real honor, and quite a thrill.  We got to gush over all the hot guys, and beautiful girls, and dream about our day in the future...(of course anticipation is always better than the real thing).  But anyway we had fun being the punch girls.  My friend Susie Lane was my punch pouring partner.  Look at how short that dress is!!!!  It had little panties that matched to wear underneath.  Even as warm as it is today, I would be freezing in that outfit.  I think Susie's dress was even shorter.  Shout out to you Susie....find a picture and prove me wrong.



   The front of this card BC-172 is one of my more unique designs that appeal to a select few.  Remember the Brady Bunch Episode where Peter walks around trying to sound like a "cool old movie type gangster", and kept saying, "porkshops and appleshause"......well, if you get it, you get it....and if you don't, you don't.   Surprisingly, many of you do get it ,and I am so glad.  I had so much fun creating this card, and I walked around talking like a movie type gangster for days.  My Chicago reps, Becky and Robert are to blame for this card also, they always egg my silliness on. We started talking like Peter Brady one day during a trade show, and we just couldn't stop. When I got home I just had to make this card.  If they were with me in my studio all the time....who knows what kind of craziness would be printed.

    Boy I am impressionable, not only am I now talking like Peter Brady, but I have a craving for pork chops and applesauce.  I better go make dinner.  Chow!

P.S. It's also my brother Mike on the front of the card.
