Passport to Memories Part 2




Well, I finally sat down and got started on my Passport to Memories album. As I told you before I bought this as a kit from Archivers, so everything that you need is available, including instructions. I'm going to put pictures and memorabilia from our vacations in Las Vegas and in Glenwood Springs. I'm also going to put in memorabilia from Sam's 2 retreats in Milligan College. I'm excited to continue working on the album but, for some reason when I get home and see the house, dishes, and laundry, I get distracted from play and begin to worry about everything that needs to get done. I guess that the housework will be there again tomorrow. I just have to remember that and just stop everything and go play in my scrap room. With football season now in full swing I just might be able to get away a little easier.

This is just a side note, but after looking at this picture of myself, I can't help thinking just how much I look like my mother. Is that a good thing or not? I don't know, if you read this Aunt Judy let me know what you think.

Passport to Memories

I ordered this kit from Archivers. I saw this album in the store in Aurora and I thought it would be perfect to put for our vacation photos and also some of Sam's summer memorabilia from his trips to Milligan.
I have begun putting it together but of course I don't have it done, not yet anyway. I really want to get it done soon. When I get it completely done I'll take pics and show you the finish product.

For Sale By Owner

We have decided to put our house up for sale. Right now we will try to sell it ourselves (trying to save that commission cost). So if you know of anyone moving to the northeastern plains of Colorado let them know there is 40 acres of land, with a large log home that has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and is ready for them to move in.
Before anyone ask, no we are not moving away, we will just downsize to a home in town.

  This little baby blanket has a story behind it. My mother is in a nursing home due to a severe stroke that weakened her legs and her hands...
