Lila Lee Celebrates George Washington's Birthday.
April 28, 1929. A Lila Lee paper doll and her colonial dress to celebrate George Washington's birthday. Such a sweet-faced doll by Laura Brock.
George and Martha Washington Cut-Outs.
February 19, 1922. Celebrate George Washington's birthday with these cut-outs of Martha and George. I have ancestors that lived in Virginia, now West Virginia, that are in many records with George Washington back when he was a very young surveyor. A brother of one of my great-greats was Washington's chain-carrier.

BRENDA STARR's Weekend Wardrobe 1941
July 6, 1941. I hope you enjoy BRENDA STARR and Her Weekend Wardrobe.
I am so mad at my cats. About three months ago they jumped up on the desk and knocked my printer/scanner off and broke it. It was just a very cheap HP model that only cost $19 but it made great copies and the scanner worked fine. So I decided to buy a more expensive model thinking it would make even better copies and scans - wrong! It prints okay but is a terrible scanner. I will have a very clean black and white paper doll then when I scan it all the details become black blobs. Drat those darn cats!!
