This challenge we have two awesome sponsors!!! 

PEGGY LOVES VINTAGE

My husband and I have shared 36 years together and we have 2 sons and a daughter and 2 glorious grandkids ages 3 and 6.
I started collecting vintage cards quite by accident. I was helping with my aunts estate sale and ran across her collection. The cards were so wonderful that I fell in love with them and have been collecting them ever since.
I love to get a new vintage scrapbook and read all about the lives and times of the individual. Some of their stories are truly inspiring.

Be sure and visit my blog where you'll find some great inspiration, tips, tricks and some free  vintage images for you to use.

I'm really excited about being an sponsor for Craft Us Crazy and sharing these beautiful vintage images with you. I hope that you come to love them as much as I do. 

 Peggy is donating 5 cutouts of winners choice, a $17.50 value to the winner!!

HOLY MOLY!!! I'm wishing I could enter the challenge for this great prize!!
