Memories

One of the reasons I scrapbook is because I love to preserve memories my sons will probably not remember when they are older. You see I don't, I have crates full of photo's from my childhood, perfectly dated but with so many faded memories that I wish I could remember more.....

When Dawn gave us this challenge I had absolutely no clue what my take on the dare would be, I was so fixated on the title and the meaning of the song I didn't see it. The line in the song that a friend of mine pointed out to me. And all of a sudden it was so clear what I would scrapbook about.




These pictures are of my 4th birthday, I can see we just got back from England (I know this because of an unapproved dissastrous haricut a friend of my mom had given me) but that's it ... My son asked me what I was thinking when I was blowing out the candles and I couldn't tell him because I don't know what my hopes and dreams were then. And THIS is why I scrapbook, so I can tell them when they ask this about themselves.



Materials used : PP by Daisy D, uniball signo white, mini rolodex card, heidi Swapp ghost clock, heidi swapp word, 7 Gypsies gaffer tape, Bingo card, 7 Gypsies stamp, PP Creative Imaginations.
