That is just as cute as I remembered. It must have been at least 40 years ago when we made these. Times were much simpler then. You did a good job on it.

Oh what memories. We used to make these out of Reader's Digest and spray paint them and decorate them. We also used them for doorstops.

Thanks for the memories!

I remember doing this with the old TV Guides. Merry Christmas!
