I went back to the first November after I started this blog and here is the post from Nov 7 2008.
I thought I would share my latest scrapbook page with you. I've been working on it for several days and just couldn't get it to look right. I finally finished it tonight and was pretty happy with the way it turned out.
The kit I used for the LO was a freebie on www.shabbyprincess.com and it was created by Carrie Stephens Designs.
I always have a problem when it comes to the journaling part, so I went in search of something suitable to put on this one. I absolutely loved this one that I found on www.quotegarden.com
Just in case you can't read it on the LO it reads:
When I can look life in the eyes,
Grown calm and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange -- my youth.

Wow...not only VERY pretty, but poignant too! Your talents continue to amaze me Ann.
A fun look back. I should go look back at some of my old posts.
I LOVE the page and the quote is perfect and the quote fits life to a T... the pic of you looking over your shoulder is beautiful. was this before you married Wade? I remember I won a scrap book program about that same time as this, it looked a lot like your page, now I wonder what ever happened to the program
Hi Ann I love this page and your words are perfect well done my friend xx
You were such an adorable baby...thecquotecsure is the truth!
I used that graphic to make you a birthday card back in 2017 - I added a current photo (which I also stole off the blog) to bring it up to date. I still have the graphic I made...
Beautiful and I love that quote! So true.
The page itself is beautiful. And what a quote! How true it is! It reminds me of the old cliche that we wish we could go back and be younger, but know everything we do now.
That's a great page. I never got into scrapbooking but always wanted to. I told myself I would do it for my grandchild someday. Well someday is here and I have no desire to do it although I do print on his photos and I put them into a photo book.
Thank you
When I look back I often find ones that make me shake my head and wonder what I was doing but then there are some good ones too
Thank you. I loved that poem when I first saw it
I remember that birthday card.
Thank you. I loved the quote when I first saw it. One of my favorites
I love the page and the poem. I've never wanted to be younger than I am --- I would have to give up so much.
Thank you. I don't know if I would want to be younger and go through it all again but I sure would like to feel younger and maybe get rid of all the aches and pains that go with getting older...lol
as you've said, some old posts "wondering why I wrote that..." at times f/b posts a memory photo and the other day it brought back many memories; partially of the good kind, some not so...
I have done some scrap booking by sitting and actually cutting things out then I found I could do them on the computer in my photo program. I did a few books like that for going away agents in the area I worked for at the TBI...it was fun doing things that way.
I like how FB does the memory pictures. A lot of them I had totally forgotten about
Scrapbooking on the computer is easier I think and the plus side is there isn't any clean up when you're done
