scrapbook pages: me

[jennickels]

Man, I forgot how much I miss scrapbooking.  It's just too time consuming.  Mostly because all of my scrapbook supplies aren't loaded into PSE so they aren't really useable.  I need them in the organizer and it takes many, many days to load and organize them all (I mean the last time I had to work for 8 hours a day every day for over a week to get them all together).  Sigh.

Here's some pages I did of me when I was little.  I did very few pages of myself, they're all about the kids and since I stopped scrapping in 2009 (only did a couple in 2010) I have none of Jack at all.  :(

Me when I was a tiny baby playing in the backyard pool.

This was a photo I found in a box that I had never seen before.  Me and my cousins (on my dad's side) with our Gramma.  I put it on my facebook and they all LOVED seeing it.  I'm the little baby looking really upset, lol.



Title says it all...my 2nd birthday.  Winnie the Pooh theme!



This was one of the first pages I ever made so it's pretty crappy.  I love that picture, though, I have it in the frame it's always been in since I was a little girl and it sits on the entertainment center with photos of my kids.



I think this was my 4th birthday or around that.


me and my brother in 1985.  We always stopped at this ice cream shop when we were visiting my Uncle Denny.  The cones were HUGE and made of real waffles.



I love this photo.  I was 9, I think.


Camping with my Uncle Denny and cousins (Calondra and Miranda).  We did a lot of stuff together since my dad and Denny are best friends.


If you ever wondered why an atheist still celebrates Christmas...here's my long explanation.  I posted this on a scrapbooking site and had some crazy person start preaching to me and asking all these annoying questions about how I could possibly still celebrate when I didn't believe in Jesus...didn't that make me a hypocrite.  Sigh.  The picture on the bottom is my 2nd Christmas (I was only a couple weeks old on my first).


And this is from a few years ago.  32 years of me.  Well, minus the three years I couldn't find.  I know they exist but the photos have been misplaced.  And, actually, I believe I found them before we moved but I have no idea if I packed them.  I know they haven't been scanned yet.

I can even tell you when each one was taken.
