Folder for Dad's 90th Birthday Cards

This is the 12 X 12 inch folder I made for Dad's 90th Birthday cards.  My parents have a revolving pedestal on their TV that displays scrapbook pages.

 Here's my Dad holding the filled folder.  He'd be upset his hair was a little messed (he usually wears a NY Yankees baseball cap).  My Dad has macro degeneration so I guess the display is more for the rest of us.

 Before his birthday, I sent stamped and addressed cards to celebrities he liked with a letter asking if they'd kindly sign the card and mail to him.  He was thrilled when he received cards from Darrel Waltrip, Richard Petty and AJ Foyt.  The stock car drivers all came through.  I can not say the same about the politicians.  Darrel Waltrip and his wife Stevie both signed a card and a picture.  Richard Petty enclosed a card with his racing achievements.

My Mom and Dad are life long race fans.  In the 60s, it was Indie 500 races, thereafter NASCAR races.  Here we are at a Dover Delaware race in the 1980s.  The race car drivers are special people.....the proof was that they sent my Dad the birthday cards.  I think we scrappers are like that too!
