May family Christmas : 1972

I love these old photos!

I love that Karen and I are snuggling stuffed animals and Michelle is snugging a box. LOL!

A Wonderful Life : Christmas Memories (1969 - 1975 - 2005)

I thought it'd be fun to put together old Christmas pics (must I call them vintage?!) of my sisters & me and my husband & his siblings along with my kiddos when they were little!

Feeling nostalgic!

The kids & Santa (1997-2004)

It's fun to see photos of my kids with Santa together in one place! I bet I have more tucked away in photo albums somewhere. I suppose I should go check some time!

Oh Christmas Tree : 2019

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

JOURNALING NOTES:

I’m super excited about this year’s giftwrap theme:  gifts wrapped in the Sunday comics and tagged with View-Master reels that I found at a vintage shop & that I then topped with black & white photos of the gift recipient. 

AND

Why yes. There is in fact a pickle hanging from the star atop the tree. Thanks Grant. You make me laugh!

AND


Like in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, there's a "light that won't light on one side" of our tree. I guess we'll get a new tree next year.

A Collection of Cousin Senior Photos

The last of the cousins is graduating so I thought I'd put all their senior photos together in one place.

Vacation Recap : 2019 Viking River Cruise : Mother-Daughter-Sister Trip

I've been using these AWESOME notebook templates to create recap pages of the trips we've gone on this year to put in my annual family album. I still create a full vacation album ... but I really enjoy a quick recap for my book!

24 Hours of LeMons Race ... the drivers AND those cheering from the sidelines ... 2019

After posting the page I created highlighting the race drivers I realized I had a bunch of photos of those cheering from the sidelines that I really want to appear on my family album so I put together a quick facing page.  I'll also include a side-by-side view so you (and I!) can see them together!

I made this page for my family album and also framed it for my husband's awesome uncle who organizes this group every year!

2019: Family BBQ

I enjoy scrapping multi photo pages sometimes. It's nice to use bunches of photos, instead of having to pick and choose. :)

Lauren's Trip to Ireland & Northern Ireland : A Recap

I promised Lauren I would create an album for her for the solo trip she took to Ireland and Northern Ireland in August. BUT ... before I start her album I thought I'd make a recap page of her trip for my family album. This is that recap ...
