1/9. It's Granny

Well now, pull up a rockin’ chair, grab yourself a cup of somethin’ hot, and get ready—because this month @ Cookin' up Creations we’re takin’ a trip right down to the Ozark roots of the Clampett clan and then hitchin’ a ride straight to the glitzy streets of Beverly Hills. That’s right, your January scrapbooking adventure is inspired by none other than The Beverly Hillbillies—where rustic meets ritzy, simple meets swanky, and we’re all just tryin’ to keep Granny out of the “cement pond.”

As we dive into this homespun meets high-falutin’ theme, it’s time to strike a little “black gold” of your own—creative gold, that is. We’re talkin’ pages that shimmer brighter than Ellie Mae’s smile and layouts that’ll make your creativity bubblin’ up faster than an oil well on a Tuesday.

so sorry it is the same as Wednesday but the challenge is different so bear with me!

Granny was my favorite person on the show. I loved her language and shenanigans she pulled off. Her is what Jethro had to say abut her:
Max Baer Jr., who played Jethro Bodine, recalls his beginnings on the show, in particular his friendship with the late Irene Ryan, who played Granny. “Everybody loved Granny,” Baer said. “She only weighed about 90 pounds, and she seemed even lighter than that. I would pick her up and carry her like a suitcase.Dec 19, 2001

Here is your challenge for today. Of course with the Granny figure, the term endearment comes to mind. Use a photo with your favorite Grandma. Next add some circles for the circular glasses that she wore and also add some lace since some of her dresses had lace up and down her collar and puffy sleeve.

That's fine. We can't all choose different things. It's a different challenge and I'm working on catching up today. :)
