My Fourth Christmas

This was the Christmas card that my parents sent out the year I was four years old - 1950. I wore a blue velvet dress that I just loved! My sister Judy had a matching dress and haircut, and my parents also sent out a post card with her picture on it. I don't know why they didn't take a picture of both of us and send one post card, but I guess that's the way they did it back then.

Dr. Seuss' Birthday

Dr. Seuss's birthday was February 2, and Thriftway sponsored a special Dr. Seuss party for kids. I took Dylan, and he just loved it! There was stories read and an old-fashioned puppet show. I couldn't believe how much all the kids laughed and enjoyed it - I'm sure Dylan isn't the only one who plays with video games and all kinds of sophisticated gadgets -- but they acted like this was the biggest treat they had ever had! Dylan and I took the bus to the store and we really enjoyed being together.

Anniversary Celebration

We celebrated the first anniversary of Mike's sobriety with a birthday cake and one candle on July 4, 2007. Okay, I'm a little late getting it scrapped, but we were all very, very proud of him, and happy that he had pulled himself up out of the despair he had been going through. I put this in the scrapbook I'm making for him.

My Haircut

I got my haircut today - also had a "weave" done to cover up - or blend in wiht the gray. I"m not sure I like it - it looks all grey now. I guess I'll have to get used to it. But it does look better than it did, anyway...

My Weight Loss for February

I made this layout for the February page of my Weight Loss Scrapbook. I only lost two pounds in February, but while I was in Florida I GAINED 6! But I was able to lose those 6 when I got back, plus two more. So I don't feel too bad. In fact, as the layout says, I was "tickled Pink."

I did this layout for the scrapbook I'm doing for Miles. This page commemmorates the purchase of his first home. The pictures show moving day, and Miles & Kayla working together to make lunch one day, and Dylan out in the yard in by the garage. Dylan was more proud of that garage than anything else in his home.

Love Life

This is a layout I did for my Family Moments Album, one of Lisa Bearnson's products. The journaling on the pocket in the left describes the pictures on the right - dad and me in 1998, thelast time I visited him; myself with Tom and Bill and Judy and Sally in the early 1980s; and mom and dad together in 1998. They were watching one of Nick's football games, one of their favorite things to do. I just realized I shouldn't have titled it Love Life -- it probably sends a meaning that i didn't mean. I meant you should love life, not about a lovelife. I'll have to think of some way to alter the title...
