Happy Valentine's Day!!
I got the Zutter Distrezz-it-All tool & wanted to try it out. Growing up in Lowell, Ma I learned about the Mill Girls back when the textile mills were booming. I have 2 great aunts that came with their family from Isle Du Pas, Canada so they could work in the mills. They recruited young girls from all over. The girls worked very hard & long hours. They would get room & board at the row houses & very meager pay. The pay was sent home to their families. The women did fight to get the labor unions in the mills.
Any way I didn't have a photo of my great aunts Mariann & Flora working in the mills, so I d/l one from google on the internet. I used Bo-Bunny & Prima papers.
Hope you V-Day is special.
