Happy Father's Day

Today is Father’s Day.  My father died nearly fourteen years ago. I do not celebrate Father’s Day with cards, gifts, phone calls, or visits.  I do take some time on this day to think of my father.  Some years Father’s Day is harder than others.  I am doing fine this year, so no worries.

Here is a layout I revised (since I originally posted it) for his memorial album:

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.  May you be the father your kids need and may your kids be appreciative of all you do.

Lists of Me

In January Amanda Probst posted on her blog that she would be creating a “Lists of Me” album and over the following months she posted the layouts. Well, I love writing lists. It has almost become a hobby I enjoy writing lists so much! So... Her “Lists of Me” album idea absolutely appealed to me.

Several months later I am starting my own “Lists of Me” album. I will feature the layouts as I complete them. Here is the first layout I created for the album: 

Tomorrow we are driving thirteen hours to attend another camping event.  This time I will be more comfortably mobile.  I will try to get some good pictures of nature to share in an upcoming blog post. 

I am hoping for no more poison ivy, no poison sumac and no poison oak, on this camping trip.  I have a very bad case of poison ivy from our camping trip two weeks ago that has continued to grow, so no more.  Thanks, though!  *smile*

A Memorial Album

For some time I have been working on a memorial album for my father.  I scanned and printed more pictures for it last night and today put them into his album, creating and adding to layouts.  The album is now on hold while I search for photos from his last few years.  I attempted to take photos of the layouts, please excuse the results.  ;)

Here are some layouts from the album:

In memorial:  GWM - 1948 - 1996

Cathedral of Junk

My guy & I visited the Cathedral of Junk in March.  If you get to Austin, TX, it is definitely worth a visit.  The artist is very nice and always open to questions or to be in a picture or two.

Here is my layout of our visit to the Cathedral of Junk.*

*My guy has requested his privacy be protected, so his face is blacked out.  The layout is still visible though.  :)
