A Retrospective

If I was a really good blogger, I'd save these for one per day so there'd be a reason to come back, but you already know I'm not. I share these with you to catch you up on the going-ons of our family captured in two pages per event. I can't explain why I photograph some as two pages together, and some individually. . . no real plan there.
I use papers from lots of companies, but mostly Close To My Heart. I have no preference if a product is retired or current, and I love to mix and match companies within the same pages too. I haven't been too good about sharing throughout the year, so this is my retrospective of my year.




These photos weren't taken by me, but by her Stake YW President. They were on display at YW in Excellence, and I was grateful she sent me digital copies so I could cherish and remember them.










Most of these pages were created over the summer, with just a couple being in the last month. The other night MyGirl wanted to find pictures of her Halloween costumes from former years. How grateful I was to make that so easy and what a treasure my books were to me and her. I loved hearing her say, "Oh, I really loved that costume," or "That wasn't my favorite." For good or for bad, they are my family history.

Apparently October was Family History Month, whether in our stake or the whole church or something else, I don't know, but I saw a flyer for it, and I felt guilt free, and encouraged to make a couple more pages.
