Recently, I was looking through my Grandmother's Bible and found this "artwork" circa 1970's. Resident artist: my brother Cameron. Clearly, he must have been extremely bored and out of creative ideas to attempt to replicate our church hymnal. For those of my friends reading my blog who went to Calvary in the 60's, 70's and 80's, you will no doubt remember those red hymnbooks! It was almost blasphemy when the church bought new ones and laid to rest Crowning Glory ! Now, we don't use hymnbooks at all in church. Multimedia has taken over!

Bored in Church
I dedicate today's post to those of us who developed our artistic skills, at a young age, doodling in church during the LONG, BORING ( to a child) sermons.
Recently, I was looking through my Grandmother's Bible and found this "artwork" circa 1970's. Resident artist: my brother Cameron.

My brother moved on from drawing hymnbooks to portraits...
Apparently this is what I looked like back in the early 70's. I was a mature looking toddler! He couldn't even spell my name right! Close though. I shouldn't be too hard on him! It's not his fault our parents chose a different spelling for my common name! ( I actually grew to love the way my name was spelled) Also, Cam definitely captured the family resemblance between my oldest brother Steve and I. Steve is 8 years older than I. We practically look like twins!
Priceless art. Thanks to my "packrat" grandma for this keepsake. It made me chuckle today.

Resurrecting "Tiger Beat"
Barbara at Writing From the Inside Out asked a GREAT question yesterday on her blog...


"What kind of posters did you have on your bedroom wall when you were in high school?"
I took up her "challenge" and googled some of the men that hung on my walls in Jr. High and High School. What a fun trip down memory lane. I used to live for the latest edition of "Tiger Beat" magazine!! Did you know they still produce "Tiger Beat?" I couldn't believe it when I saw it a couple of months ago at a newsstand! Without further ado, here is a sampling of the posters that hung in my very pink room:
