One of my favorite purchases was a set of the Northern Tissue girls! My younger sister got the set that used to be displayed in my parents house and I have always wanted a set for my own -- now I have one!

You know what I found was so interesting when I was watching all the Northern Tissue Girls auctions was that there were "other" children dxrawn, including boys!!! I always thought it was just the five girls that were always up in my folks home -- my mom used to say we each represented one of the girls...then 17 years after daughter #5 was born, a "surprise" arrived (that's my biological sister, ThetaSis2GPhiB)...the pics came down then -- I guess my mom did not realize there were others! I may try to get two boys now -- ones that resemble my two sons when they were younger...I also have to frame my girls now! I am sure hubby will scratch his head and say WTF??? when I put them up because we have no daughters!
