You know I'm really trying to work on the journalling. I knew there was a lot I wanted to say about our summer vacation and decided to put a lot of it on the beginning page of the vacation section. I'm still going to put snippets here and there. I'd like my albums to eventually stand on there own. Meaning I won't need to sit beside someone as they look at the albums and have to identify everyone and explain everything... the details will be right there. My husband's mother, father and grandmothers all died during the first 3 years we were married and we inherited all the photos since my husband has no siblings. I look at the photos and wish I knew so much more about them. My husband doesn't remember. It's kind of sad. I'm trying to make my albums more meaningful.

I know what you mean,Lynne. My Mom left all the photos to me and they were basically...a mess. They were in boxes and the old magnetic albums without a clue who most of them were and no dates . It has been very difficult for me to scrap them..but they are priceless to me. I am so aware of writing on the backs of all my photos ..the date the place and the who ! So that by the time I scrap..it will jog my memory. I keep having the refrain of Simon and Garfunkle's "Time" lyrics...."Time it was ..oh what a time it was...I have a photograph....preserve your memories..theyre all that's left you. "

Yeah, I like the lettering. Nice LO. I have been to Bolinas back in '72, it was realllllly a hippie like place then. I have a friend that still lives there. He's also a throw back to the hippie years. At the time Grace Slick lived there also, for those of you that go back that far.

Hehe, even before I became a new scrapper, I discovered this as a genealogist. I got on this big kick about identifying after my step-grandmother passed on and left her box of photos behind with no identities, so I went to my grandparents (I'm very fortunate to have BOTH sets still living) and said, get those boxes out and start writing! And you know what? They did! I'm so happy because my grandparents took me seriously and sat down with their HUGE boxes of photos (some which had been passed to them) and labeled every single one. Now, I know that they probably didn't use archival ink, but I didn't know about that at the time... :)

very nice work!

Lynne - Great job. I really like the stamping technique on your title

- and the brads really added a nice touch. I like the clear beads too! I too am considering adding stamp and more texture to my LO's --- just can't seem to brake out of everything having to be "squared and even"

- too many years working with engineers!
