Dear Group: In one of her posts, Vee mentioned a scrapbook of her father's. That reminded me of the two scrapbooks my grandmother made when she was a young woman. My grandmother Clickner loved the movies and she collected pictures of the movie stars from the silent movie era through the 30's and early forties. When Grandma passed away, Mom and I went throught her estate to see what she had. We were in the upstairs attic, and I couldn't believe what was up there! There were racks of vintage clothing, several boxes of antique sheet music, and the scrapbooks. I almost passed by those gems, but my curiosity got the better of me and I took a look. There was Mary Pickford, Joan Crawford, and others. I was enthralled, and I kept looking over the scrapbooks. In the same box I found two brown envelopes, I opened them up, and out came 8 by 10's of the great movie stars. There was even one of Judy Garland, one of my favorite actresses. There was even a picture of Lillian Gish, and that was personally autographed by Lillian herself. Some of the other photos were autographed, but the autographs were stamped on. I have the scrapbooks now, and unfortunately, some of the pages are yellowing from age. I have them stored away from light. There was also a picture of the great Rudolph Valentino. I have started a scrapbook of my own, it is a family heritage scrapbook. I took a couple of classes in scrapbooking and now I'm hooked. What a great way to combine two hobbies, crafting and genealogy! Kim
