NOT SO TACIT THURSDAY (Memories Edition)

Start with an old B&W picture::
AND DO THIS:

With paint dauber, scissors stamps & ink, tearing papers and gluing paper flowers....a cloudy day
what can we do with the kids...they are so bored...let's take them out for a walk in the woods and let them run it off....McCook Point, Niantic.  and that  old tree is now gone....ah youth!!

THEN: take another picture and

And remember that little girl in the tree above--she  is now in her wedding dress...time marches on....

and here, in the Autumn of the year she starts her journey to her new life.....

Proud and joyous Mom n' Dad ...
Sizzix cut out branches, leaf clear stickers, stamping, etc.....

I had such fun remembering these times while putting my pages together. I think that is what I most enjoy about scrapbooking...it calls to my mind all our happiest moments....this will go into my Project Life Memories album for March....every month I try to add old pictures along with the latest doings.

I hope you are all de-icing, de-frosting and de-snowing....
Hugs to all

ALL QUILTING ASIDE....

I have put all my UQP's aside for now; and re-tooled my room to include a 
"Scrap Station"....Thom bought me a real typewriter for Christmas so that 
I can type directly onto my card inserts (being the computer challenged
person I am!!).  

I have done quite a few spreads (2 sheets L and R); this one is a memory
of little Fiona--of course, Grand'mere knows she's a "big girl" now--no more "goo-goo ga-ga"!! LOL

This page includes twins Greg & Connor--"then and now" with we two Grandparents holding the twins...and Steven pulling his hair to dispel the "crying"...
I love juxtaposing these times.  Here you can see the 4x6 vertical pocket arrangements--the other page has 4 (4x6) horizontals and 4 (3x4) slots....
I am so loving this--I hope to get all my pix Out of The Shoebox!!!! and into some meaningful layouts.

I am also spraying and creating my own little tags and cards and embellishments...

And finally--here is a picture of our deck this morning--OH NO........

MORE SNOW!!!

To all my quilting buds--I am just taking a little break--feeling overwhelmed at the moment and my arthritis (shoulder, arm etc ad nauseum!! ugh) is playing up, too.
I am still following and leaving occasional comments...hugs to all
