tracing paper

[Gerianne]

do you remember tracing paper in coloring books?

[gaylasue]

Yes!  And carbon paper to make copies when you type!!  I was just wondering the other day if they still make the blue tracing paper you use when you sew.  I am making a baby quilt and need to mark the quilt lines on it.  The tracing paper would work perfect since it washes out easily.

Wow!  I had not thought of that in years.  I barely recall that some coloring books had that feature.  I cannot remember if that pre-dated the connect-the-dots activities that supplemented coloring in the larger books or if it came later.  I loved my coloring books as a child and probably would still sneak in a try at it if the opportunity arose (although I would not go out and buy a coloring book and crayons for myself).

I remember using tracing paper all the time and I loved carbon paper even better. I spent hours tracing over pictures I wanted to use for some project or other using both of those. It's unbelievable how far we have come!!!!!!!!!!

I remember both and probably have some of each in my art/office supplies.  I still have my typewriter too, though I don't use it these days.

I don't have any more carbon paper, but we still have our MANUAL typewriter.

Corrections were such a pain when you mistyped something......kids today have NO idea!!
