Dear Jackie

I have always admired Jackie Kennedy Onassis. I grew up thinking that she was royalty for some reason. I loved her style - white pants, blue and white striped shirt, ribbon flowing from her hair and the biggest sunglasses I had ever seen. Oh and don't forget the little pill box hats! About 6 months ago at Dillard's or Macy's they had the cutest clothes that reminded me of her style. I should have bought an outfit to make it my "goal" outfit. But no, I didn't and now they are gone :(

When the lesson for Get Meaningful came out to write a letter to a person who was real or fictional...I knew that I had the perfect person to write too. Then I get the assignment for Creative Pandemonium to distress paper, then to use flowers and bling and man oh man I was in business - I had a plan!

Dear Jackie,


Journaling reads: I have always wanted to know where you got the strength to pick up and carry on after you lost two children and your husband within-all within 10 years. Then by the time you were 46 you were a window for a second time. One thing that I have always been very fascinated with is your choice in clothes-even forty years later they have been replicated-they are timeless and classic. I love them! Although you are gone, you are still one who captures my attention every time there is something published about you. Sincerely, Carla
