Now, on with the page! These pics were from Mother's Day last year. My whole family gathers together and the guys do the cooking and the ladies get to eat first! It's a wonderful time and we all love being able to catch up and visit. My Grandma was always famous for saying "When I was little..." or "When I was a kid..." followed by a story from her past. This was usually followed by the appropriate eye rolling from my siblings and I. Unfortunately, we didn't learn to appreciate those stories until after she was gone and we love retelling them to our kids. But, we all still laugh and roll eyes anytime anyone says "When I was a kid..."
At one point during the day, the adults realized that while we were all outside enjoying the beautiful day, our children were nowhere to be found. But a quick trip into my sister's house solved the mystery. They were all playing or waiting for a turn on the XBox... This was a perfect time for "When I was a kid..." to come into play!
This page has zero SU product on it! Everything is from my stash and while I was surprised that no SU goodies made it on the page, it felt good to use up several things that had been around here for a while!
Don't forget about my blog candy and be sure to leave a comment on that post and 'share the love' with others if you have a blog!
Great page Margaret and a wonderful story to remember it. My Dad always said 'when I was a kid'. It usually was something to do with walking 5 miles to get somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, way to go on finishing 6 scrapbook pages this weekend! Wow! I love the layout you shared, too. Funny how things are so different for kids today with all of the technology. Geez, I really feel old saying that, too. Haha! Have a great day! :)
ReplyDeletewow you finished 6 pages-what an accomplishment-this layout looks great-I am trying to finish a book for my son-I jsut need to set aside time and do it-thanks for the encouragment
ReplyDeleteI'm all for that "letting the guys do the cooking"! LOL!

Love that story!! lol I remember stories just like that told by my grandma. Now I find myself telling my kids the same thing! lol Cute layout and I just love the daises!!
ReplyDeleteThose are the best times, and I'm convinced that the kids are listening even thru the eye rolls and snickers of "here she goes again" with the stories! Great page - love the bold blue against the pictures! The flowers are the perfect embellie :) TFS!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to get back into scrapping when you have been working on that smaller canvas. I'm glad you succeeded though! It's a great layout and I just love those daisies.
ReplyDeleteWell done on another excellent page. I can't believe that I am already telling my kids "when I was a kid"...
ReplyDeletewonderful page...love the backstory
ReplyDeleteLovely layout and well done on creating 6 pages - I have so many pictures to scrap but they are stored on the "hard drive" !!!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to remember those times as it is so true "when I was a kid" is now something I hear myself telling my children.
Such cheery daisies on the blue paper =) I love the way your family celebrates Mother's Day with the guys cooking. That's great you have guys that know how to cook more than a frozen dinner , ha ha.
