Pictures from College

Oh my goodness! I have recently connected with a bunch of people I knew in college. Some of them have been posting pictures from way back then. We're talking the early 90's. It's bringing back a slew of memories and I've spent lots of time giggling over the pictures. I thought I would put a few of them up here.

I was, as Dave puts it, a "drama person" and loved every minute of it! This is a picture of me and Jennifer dressed up for some play. I don't even remember which one it was.

Here is another one of Jennifer and me. We shared an apartment our Junior year and had lots of fun times. I was shocked at how long and curly my hair is in this picture! I was also shocked at how huge my glasses are! What was the deal with big frames back then? Did it make us see better?

This was taken on the last day of my Sophmore year. There were several of us messing around together. Jennifer and I were so very excited because we had just found an apartment for the next year. The other gal is Denita, one of my bestest friends. =) Our clothes are adorable, aren't they?

This last one is.......obviously...........of when I graduated from college. Again........look at the super long hair and outlandishly huge glasses. With me is Trayc. The two of us lived right next to each other our Senior year. It was a good time!Well..........thanks for taking a trip down Memory Lane with me. Seeing all these pictures makes me somewhat miss those days. But then I am reminded of all that God has given me since then. Back then, I would never have guessed how my life is turning out. But I love it! I praise God for my wonderful hubby and for my the kids He has given to us.

My Last Scrap Off Layouts

I have liked being in this Scrap Off and I've gotten several pages done because of it, but it's now coming to an end. This was the last week of it. Here are my last 2 LO's for it. Just to warn you......I took these pictures at night and the lighting just wasn't working for pictures. And the layouts need to be posted by midnight tonight. So the pictures don't look good at all. But.......they are done and posted. So I guess that's what counts.

The first challenge of the week was to "scraplift" a layout from one of the other ladies in the group. I choose a LO that my good friend Becky had done. This is what I came up with. I used pictures of Debbie learning to ice skate last winter. I love these pictures! Or maybe it's the memories behind the pictures. =)

The other challenge was to use ribbon, chipboard, and metal. This is what I did.

ScrapOff Challenges For the Week

Here are my LO's for this week. I think there is only one more week of this challenge. I'm going to miss it.

The first challenge was to make a monocramatic layout. I couldn't use pattern paper and all the cardstock I used had to be in the same color "family". I could use different colored embellishments. I did a LO with some pictures Clara and Chris took when we were picking up bales a couple of weeks ago.
The next challenge was to do a LO with 25 of the same embellishment on it. I used pictures of Jacob driving our ancient 3 wheeler and giving the other kids rides. I put more than 25 square brads on it.

Glasses

Yesterday afternoon I had to go and pick up TWO pairs of new glasses for TWO different kids. Last Wed. I brought Jacob and Clara to the eye-guy because they had failed the vision test at school. Sure enough........they both needed glasses......Jacob for all the time and Clara for when she's reading. Yesterday we got to pick them up and......ohhhhhh......there was SOOOO much excitement at our house last night. Here they are showing their glasses off.
