"Papa - I gotta GO"!


Another happy find from Mary Patterson, who sold two pieces of this paper to sister Penny a couple of months ago. Penny and I had a couple of conversations about old paper that Mary thought I'd perhaps be interested in. Penny would describe to me over the phone the various attributes of the paper and I would give her a yes or no depending upon what she was describing. I said "NO" to this piece more than once, thinking I would never have a use for a piece of paper with an image of a wrecked automobile as the highlight of the letterhead. Penny persisted. I resisted - to a point.

I finally relented.

Several weeks ago, I found A Perfect Match!

With permission of the Tattered and Lost blog Host (who wishes to remain nameless), I downloaded the images that I needed.

Now, I really gotta go!

  1. It turned out stunning! You do amazing work. I'll be happy to print this out for my father who is the rightful owner of the game I scanned. I'm sure he'll smile. Thank you!

  2. Mary and I knew you could give this old paper a new life if we could just get it into your hands. Sometimes the cart comes before the horse in this game. You found the perfect "horse" for pairing.
    You did a beautiful job, and I'm sure it can only be fully appreciated in person. Can't wait to see the mate. So.....
    "Are we there yet??"
