TP'ING MEMORIES

Sometimes we have daily reminders of younger days and how fast time flies. Being in graduation and wedding season guarantees some of these blasts from the past.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a wedding shower luncheon and was a bit disappointed as it seemed we wouldn't be playing any games.  How can you have a party without a game or two? Yep, I am one of those people. We had visited, enjoyed lunch, opened the presents and it was almost time to go when one of the hostesses exclaimed we did have an activity to do before we left, we needed to dress the Bride to Be. Out came the rolls of toilet paper.

If you haven't had the privilege of designing a bride's wedding gown out of toilet paper, it is a challenge. So many decisions and so many designers working toilet paper rolls. Shower guests are divided into groups provided with toilet paper rolls and must finish their design within a certain time frame. We had three models, the Bride, her sister and sister-in-law. The laughter began as we feverishly worked our magic. With the rolling, the memories also unrolled... 

Flashback. Even I was TP'ed many moons ago, the year 1976. 

Yes, we had toilet paper back then.

1976 at age 22

Styles come and go but a toilet paper gown still is pretty dang classy. OK, maybe not so practical if it's raining, but a lot less expensive than the real thing. 

Our group designed a lovely draped back, don't you think?

So thanks for the memories... And to all our beautiful Brides this season we wish for you many happy "Charmin" memories.
