Make This SPOOL CAT

July 26, 1931.  "Make This Spool Cat.  Cut out pussy's head and tail upon the dotted lines.  Next mount these upon thin cardboard or rather heavy paper.  Color pussy as you think best.  Now glue the head and tail to the ends of a small-sized spool as shown in the little illustration so that the cat can stand.  You can make many more such animals with the aid of ordinary spools and can collect quite a zoo full!"  A very cute idea submitted by S. L. T. Junior member, Hope Nelson.  I have posted several paper dolls that were drawn by Hope Nelson - if the dolls are not on this blog then check my old blog.

Luv Ya BLUE!, Luv Ya BUM!

November 11, 1965.  BUM PHILLIPS passed away yesterday and in his memory I am posting this Stokely's Coloring Contest.  I loved the HOUSTON OILERS back in the 1970's and early 1980's when I was a teenager and young adult.  Mike Barber, Ray Childress and of course, the Tyler Rose - Earl Campbell, were just a few of the players I would cheer for while watching the games on T.V. or listening on the radio.  I loved the OILERS whether they won or lost, and they lost a lot more games than they ever won, but I was a true fan.  I have not cared about football since the people in this city drove the OILERS out of town with their hatred.  I did root for the Tennessee TITANS for several years because so many of the players had been OILERS.  Anyway, thanks BUM for the memories.
