Family Tags - Bill

Hi everyone!  I had to put away the paints and ephemera to deal with life and the pursuit of money to pay the bills!!!  I really missed creating something so I tried a small project - a tag.  My first tag is for my father, William Thomas Reese, Jr.  One side is about his pre-Philadelphia life in Hamlet, NC, when he was known as "Tommy".  I found a cute picture of dad in short britches.  The second picture is from his North Carolina State yearbook.  The other side of tag is an early picture of him with my mother in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia, PA, when he preferred to be called "Bill".  

The tag used is a black Inkssentials Crafts tag by Ranger, #89, 6 1/4" x 3 1/8" in size.

I actually found some "wheaties" in a jar in my closet.  The penny dates matched the two pictures, 1933 (dad's graduation) and 1936 (mom & dad's marriage year).
