Laverne and Shirley, but no photos

 

It's Friday and time to join Friday Smiles which is hosted by Annie (at A Stitch in Time).   Let's visit her and the other wonderful ladies who also share their smiles each Friday.    And while we're at it, we can also visit Nicole's Friday Face Off for a second day in a row.

I took lots of photos of my herbs and was going to share them on Friday Smiles.  Then my batteries were "exhausted."  Not sure what happened.  I know those rechargeable batteries had been in my camera since forever, but when I tried to put newly recharged batteries in my camera, it wouldn't take them.   I tried four more.  Then I tried four that were not rechargeable.  Nothing worked.  I charged four batteries and they didn't work, either.  I can't get the photos off my camera because you have to have power, i.e., batteries in the camera.  I did the next best thing I could do and that was I called Scott after I went to Amazon and found another camera just like mine.  However, it won't be here until the 31st, which means for those of you following the mural saga, means I wasn't able to visit on Thursday, so I hope Sally will be free on Saturday (she has appointments today), and I can get some photos using her phone. 

Here is my other Friday Face Off,

which also qualifies for Chris's theme which is When We Were Young at Art Journal Journey.  I'm not sure how relevant this will be to the International community who visit, because I never saw the show, so I don't really know much about its reach.

According to IMDb:

Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney were best friends and roommates coping with dates, neighbors, and each other.  During the late '50s and early '60s they worked as bottlecappers for Shotz Brewery in Milwaukee.  They moved to Burbank, California in 1965 to start a new life when they got replaced at the brewery by an automated bottlecapper.

Because no one could remember which girl was which, Laverne had an L embroidered on all her blouses and sweaters.

"Set in the 1950s, Laverne and Shirley

 

was a big hit in the mid to late 1970s."

 The main actors were Cindy Williams (left) as Shirley Feeney and Penny Marshall as Laverne DeFazio.

Although I show a lot of hearts and love, from what I read on various sites (IMDb, Wikipedia, TV Guide) there was not a great deal of love shared between the two stars.  It seems they fought both on and off set.  For example, one would attack the other verbally if she had less lines than the other in a given show or scene.  From what I read, their fights were so loud at times, actors from an adjoining studio could hear them fighting.

I started by spritzing my blue handmade shimmering mist on 110 lb. cardstock.  While the mist was drying, I cut the image of the two stars from an old magazine.  I cut the image so there were no words showing.  The heart was a bit skewed, but was happy with it.  I outlined the heart, as well as the sentiment, using a blue felt tip marker.  Finally, since the page looked bare, I added the four heart stickers.

 

Thanks for joining Bleubeard and me today.  Please also join us at Art Journal Journey and Friday Face Off.  

Here's an incredibly fuzzy photo of Squiggles I hadn't deleted from my files.  That's the one smile today, dear ladies. 

I'm going to try to not cry over the fact I have no camera and share a few of these memes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now PLEASE visit Annie  and don't forget to start your weekend with a smile.

EDIT: I just realized that next Friday is the 2nd of the month, which means I will be hosting Second on the 2nd, which is a post where you dig up an old post that you have shown in the past.
