my family.

Lately I've been finding all sorts of gems of pictures in "vintage" (funny when you are talking about yourself) pictures that have come from my grandma's picture books:
closer up:

I created this page using the SOLD OUT here + then kit by Scrapbook Circle.

What I LOVE about this page:

*I know I'm not even looking at the picture but I love what I KNOW about this page.  It was taken in my childhood home in Yakima Washington (I can tell from the window coverings)

*All of the clothes we are wearing were made by my mom--she is a pretty amazing seamstress!

*The rocking chair my brother is sitting in, we bought just especially for my baby brother--I remember going to the store and picking it out.  WAY on the upper level of the store--I was 5.  It now sits in my front room--a little more worn...

*on my ring finger of my left hand is a ring my grandparents made for me, I still have it but it won't fit on my finger now.

*of course the GOLD circles!

My challenge to you is to look at your pages and LOVE them!  Take time to maybe pick out just WHY you created that page--what makes you love it!  If you don't love your page--what is ONE thing you DO like about it! (I've gotta be real, sometimes I create something and put it RIGHT into the scrapbook so I DON'T have to look at it again...)

Thanks for the visit today--make your day FABULOUS!
