I created these pages for the Alphabet Book Challenge. These are the vintage items for which I have photos.

Z = Zero candy bar

They are very good and I do manage to eat them. Sometimes I feel really bad for eating them...not!

They are very good, Corrie. I also hate to destroy the beauty and creativity, but somehow, I manage.

W = Whoppers = chocolate-flavored coating on top of malted milk balls

T = Turkish Taffy When I was a kid, it was a special day when I ate Turkish Taffy

It took me forever to eat the car cookie...I did finally give in and enjoy it!

My favorite!...and I didn't get one this year...

R = raisens

My friend, Maryann, is a self taught cookie decorator. I think her work is amazing. I gave her the car cookie cutter, thinking she might use it for weddings. She created a completely different design and turned it into a pickleball car! She also made this cookie when a new pickleball venue opened here. She used the company colors and changed the wording, etc. Needless to say, they loved it! Heart cookie cutter by Brooke Gazarek at Digital Scrapbooking. Turner and rolling pin by Jessica Dunn, Baking Days at Digital Scrapbooking.

O = oranges

K = Klondike Bars

B = bacon!

Thank you, Cristina. She's a little manipulor and I fall for it everytime!

Z = Zucchini bread

W = watermellon, one of my favorites

U = upside cake

Hey, Michele! I've always wanted to skydive. Want to go skydiving together? I plan to go ziplining in March when I attend a pickleball clinic in Costa Rico. Looking forward to it. I use to race cars way long ago. It was a race called autocrossing. We used pylons to mark the course and we raced mostly in shopping center parking lots. Races were on Sunday when the centers were closed (blue laws). Totally legal with the shopping center's permission. We raced against the clock, one car at a time. I once held a national drag race record...drag strip, one car at a time, against the clock. I also raced at Summit Point, a road course, right and left turns, hairpin turns, etc. Again, one car at the time against the clock. I had the fastest time of the day once. I also went to I Fly...you may have seen my layouts about that adventure. I would love to go again.

S = snickers candy bar

L = Licorice Candy
