That’s a great idea! Would hot glue hold a string to the top of that work of art? I love the book shot.

Oh please oh please, throw us a bone...what are some of the tidbits from 1953?

Oh Gift of Green... so glad you asked. My favorite? Make sure that not only the house is clean before Daddy gets home; but that you scrub the children's faces, and lie down for fifteen minutes before he arrives so you look fresh and relaxed.

My kids just emptied out of tissue boxes to make robots with them now I’m stuck at loose tissue with no place to keep them…LOL~

Pierce a hole where you’ve tape the top and thread a string with a knot?

Brilliant. I’m on it.

That is an AWESOME stop light. Take a paper clip and partly unfurl it - stick part of through the box and bend it again, leaving a hook-y part at the top to hang it from.

I know Beck, would have killed for a stoplight like this one as a child!
