This is a really nice layout. I am sorry your favorite store closed. I felt that way when all the lss started closing due to the stupid internet..which is what I am doing now..shopping on line. But I am with you I want to see and touch.
I love this and can totally agree and identify with this change in my life also. What a great page this is and how people will chuckle 50 years from now when there are NO malls left at all and everything is on line etc. Love the photo of Carol.......the sale clippings and was tickled to see one of my dolls on this page. It's perfect. Love it all especially your great journaling.
Such a great page to portray the angst that all of us in our generation are experiencing with the changes occurring in today's shopping environment. Your journaling is so true and the colors, design, JN doll all add up to an eye catching page!
Perfect layout, I agree with you sooooo much that life is changing and not for the better. The stores we loved to shop at--GONE. The malls are sitting idle never to be used again. Stores where my husband got his tools, Sears, gone, Payless shoes, gone, we can go on and on. The young generation wants to do everything while sitting on their butts. The lost jobs, where do you go at 60 with good pay, benefits, insurance go?? Nowhere, but down. Ask our community
The way I cloth shop has already changed...I can get my whole wardrobe at one or two stores. I have not been in a mall in 5 years. well maybe only to the food court and you can access that without bypassing any clothing stores. Yes shopping has changed, but then so have many other things! This will be a great memory to have in your album! Cute doll that matches the whole layout!
This is wonderful! Our Mall that I used to shop at has many stores that have gone out of business so I can relate to your journaling. Great job on the March challenge. I love it. Perfect papers and journaling!
This is very nice! Love the journaling and the very springy bg pp! The ephemera you used and the JN doll was perfect here! You did an amazing job on the challenge!
Lo for our monthly challenge on Rockin Scrappin Grans. We were to use the title A Season of change and Spring colors. Journaling: This is my best friend Carole Pankratz. We met when teaching at Shirland School in 1972. We would meet at Bergner’s Dept.Store almost every Saturday. We always said, “what we do without Bergner’s?” It happened. April 19, 2018 the chain announced bankruptcy. Our beloved store was going out of business. With Bergner’s closing, it has caused Change in how often we go to Cherry Vale Mall, how we shop and even where we park!! Enter the bigger, scarier world of retail Change. So many stores are closing. It used to be that when a store closed, it was fairly certain a new store would go in. That is not true anymore. The Mall is becoming a ghost town. Everyone blames the internet and ordering online. We hate ordering online. We want to see it, feel it, and try it on. We don’t want the hassle of returning an item. This season of Change is not welcomed by long time shoppers like Carole and me.
Background paper is Echo Park Perfect Princess collection. The Julie Nutting doll was given to me by my friend Betsey.
