Saddle Shoes and Floral Pants

 Back in the day, my sister and I had stellar taste in fashion!

Look!  These fabulous shoes are STILL in style  ;) !!!

We had SO much pizzaz, that we decided to make a magazine about our latest trends in style:

We called it The Modern Zoo

{or something like that}

We dressed our youngest sister up in a flower-girl dress and curled her hair in tight ringlets for a mock model shoot. 

We printed and distributed our "magazine" {hot off the (computer) press} to every person in the house hold... and every friend and neighbor in our apartment building.

Today... almost 15 years later, I sometimes I think that this blog is just an extension of our childhood musings to produce and publish.

My sister and I live across the country from one another but this blog keeps us close.
It gives us the opportunity to connect with readers around the world and the opportunity to work on something together.  

Today, in honor of our SITS feature,

We'd like to post a free download for our readers.

A while back, Becka posted a fully illustrated story online, using some of her hand-made toys for characters.

Today's PDF contains a copy of the front/back cover, inside leafs and 6 fully illustrated pages of the story for you to print at home.




By following Katie's easy Toddler Memory Book tutorial here  (featured on her blog, Notes From a Very Red Kitchen) you can assemble your very own hand-made toddler book.

So, if you are visiting here for the first time,  
you can probably guess that this blog fits neatly into the SITS dubbed "Creative Living" tribe niche.

Our featured posts today include:

Yarn Doll Hair Tutorial:  Becka explains her original design for sewing on doll hair.
Cupcake Playhouse:  Becka comes up with an innovative way to give her daughter her own space in their single-bedroom student apartment.
 A "Green" Puppet Stage:   A free download for you and your kids to make a puppet stage out of an up-cycled kleenex box.

So, here's to Sisters!
The biological siblings and also the blogging bffs ;)

Cheers!
