You & Me

This page was a long time coming. The mojo just up and left for a bit. So glad it returned even if its a brief moment.

Therefore, I started just by picking the paper and letting it sit on my desk for a bit. Then I thought it needed some mist on it. I was leaning toward an aqua - and changed my mind, using Mr. Huey's metallic copper - and it was the second thing on the page and not the last.

oooooo I know!

My pal Holli and I had some retail therapy at Hobby Lobby yesterday and I picked up a pack of 6x6 Simple Stories that you see as mats, the wooden veneer people and the stamp.  The vellum title is from Studio Calico as is the base paper.

I love how it turned out and I must admit that I redesigned it several times. I was in one of those I can't decide or it really looks stupid that way. Another photo of me and the Mr.

oooooo I know.

On the porch

Back in the day there was a lot of porch sitting

and/or hanging out.

Mostly because it was hot hot hot most of the days

and A/C was a twinkle in someone's eyes.

I began this page with no photos in mind. I bought a new

My Mind's Eys 6x6 paper pad and decided

that I should be breaking into it.

The dictionary page is Authentique.

I decided to take the opportunity to test out my new

chandelier stamp and lift one of Connie's techniques

and stamp on the paper practicing my stamping before actually

using a real dictionary. 

As you can see I need a bit more practice but I'm happy

with the overall effect.

After I had the base built I began to look for photos. I dug

into the wayback box and found the bottom photo 

and had a hmmm..... moment.

I believe I saw this photo before and had pulled it out.

So it should've been in the pile on my desk.

The mystery of the moving photo....

I looked at the pile on my desk.

and GASP....

There was the other one I pulled out.

TWO!

What a prize! Mostly with the same players but with a

few more posing. 

Great grandmom and grandpop.

Great Uncle Augie just to continue name dropping.

Then ME and MOM. I'm the really cute one :)

My cousin Karen her mom Lillian

and Cousin Ruth.

I do not remember a cousin Ruth so I need to research her.

There is writing on the back but its very messy on one,

and in pencil on the other, so I didn't use it. Sadly.

That would've been a total coup.

I also have no idea of the location.

I'm leaning toward Hellertown, but the only cousin left

that may be able to help will probably say Philadelphia.

So I'm torn and undecided.

I know you're surprised.
