I beaded 19 snowflakes using Delica beads and Swarovski crystals. The ornament is beautiful hanging over my dining room table although it did not photograph well so I spread it out on a black velvet board.
1969 was a pivotal year for an entire generation and as you know, if you read my last post, the year my sister got married.
1979 also had its share of noteworthy news:
Mister Ed, the talking horse, died
The Susan B Anthony dollar was issued
It snowed in the Sahara Desert for 30 minutes
Michael Jackson released his first break through album “Off the Wall”
“For Better or Worse” comic strip debuted
McDonald’s introduced Happy Meals
And, in my family, it was another Summer of Love as we planned my September 7th wedding.
Happy 30th Anniversary, Dear Husband, it’s been a great ride.
1969 --- What a year….
America elected Richard Nixon to become its 37th President and Dwight D. Eisenhower, our 35th President died.
Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon
Boeing 747 made its maiden flight
The Godfather was published
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was the hit movie
Sesame Street premiered on TV
The Beatles released Abbey Road and also gave their last public performance
John Lennon and Yoko Ono conducted their “Bed-In”
And Woodstock became the ultimate music festival
In my family, it truly was the Summer of Love…we were planning my sister’s September 5th wedding. I felt privileged that she asked me, her kid sister, to be her Maid of Honor.
Dear Sis and Brother-in-law, Happy 40th Anniversary.
Your relationship and marriage have been an inspiration to me.
