Posting a few days early as we are headed out on a little getaway.
Welcome to the September 2024 month of this challenge - month 15, I am not sure how many more months this will run but it has been fun so far. I really did not think I would be able to make it run this long. I love looking at your unique stories about YOU. If you are new here, this challenge came about after a conversation with my 22 year old son about a certain event and how I did not want to include a "bad' picture of myself. He then asked that I include more of myself in our books. It occurred to me that we, the scrappers are usually behind the camera and often fail to scrap ourselves - this is a means to remedy that.
Sooooo....in light of that, this challenge is to get YOU in your albums, your kids albums, your grandkids albums, they want to see/hear YOU!!!
Sometimes the topics come to me easily, sometimes not so much. I am short on time with the opening of schools so I was having a hard time coming up with something until I completed Rebecca's Where in the World Challenge with pictures that have been on my desk for an eternity!! I wanted to scrap this so my boys could see that I did not always look like just their Mom!!
It got me to thinking.....what is something that you had in your youth that you no longer have but wish you did. It can be something you took for granted, that you thought you would always have or something you had and lost along the way. For me... it is this 21 year old body. After delivering two 9 pound babies via C-section, my bikini days are loooong over. I miss this body that could wear something like that, that was without countless aches, pains and wrinkles. The body that had boundless energy to do whatever I wanted.
So your challenge is to create a layout based on something you had in your youth that you no longer have but wish you did. For this challenge I am *NOT * talking about loved ones...I am talking about something specifically unique to you - it can be something big or something small and silly just NOT the loss of a loved one. There must be a picture of YOU and ONLY you on the layout.
Here is my example:
