Leilaberry's Swing

Oh, my Aunt Leila... so many many MANY stories about her. The matriarch of our family. She wasn't only my Aunt Leila, but my mom's Aunt & my grandpa's Aunt... that's right, my Great Great Aunt Leila. Fondly known as Leilaberry. My tag reads

"My Great Great Aunt Leila made the best jelly which I named "Leilaberry" as a child. There could be a receipe somewhere, but it would never be the same... she always grew all her own fruit! Any time we went to Aunt Leila's house, you could find us girls on the porch. Auntie sitting on a chair she drug out, mom & Aunt Sarah on the steps, with Leslie and I on the swing. Through years of use, it showed it's age when I inherited it. My loving husband restored it for me."

Come Fly With Me, Cousin

When I was a kid and into my teenage years, I loved spending time with my cousin, Jud. He was only a few months older than me so we were always in the same grade, except he lived in Missouri & I was in Arkansas. When we were together we had a blast... it never mattered what we were doing! I enjoyed creating this page SO much, thinking of old times, being so young and carefree. We rocked the '80's! (says so on the tag!)

Almost everything is from my Scarlet Lime December 2009 kit, the only exception would be the fuzzy blue thing sticking out of the flower by me and the tag.

Scarlet Lime-December 2009 Kit & Mojo Monday 123

I really like everything that came in Scarlet Lime's December 2009 Kit and tonight I was just cruising around the internet looking for challenges... Mojo Monday fit the bill! So here's my take on Mojo 123:
I think it turned out pretty good myself :-) What do you think?

What I did on Sunday, Jan. 18

I'm so excited to actually be working on MY scrapbooks again! Not that I minded making the Christmas presents that I did make, but WHEW they take up a lot of time... three month to be exact! So now I'm making progress once again on my family's book.

And that's it! I'm still working on our camping/biking trip to Mt. Magazine, hopefully I'll finish that up this coming weekend.

I will have to retake these pics as I hate them in the page protectors, but time time time.
