Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

The Artwork

As a child, what originally drew me to Marjorie's diary was all the illustrations. When you get close to the images, you see a startling amount of detail in such 'simple' drawings. Here are a few to see how much character she could pack into a stick-figure. I highly encourage you to click on each image to see the details larger!

  1. How did she do drawing like that almost every day?

  2. I don't know but it's pretty awesome! My favorite drawing is when she is painting or when her mom is doing her hair!

  3. I can't believe that she was able to fit such detailed drawings between the lines on the paper!
