Life. Family. Memories. Adventure.
The journey.
I was inspired to sit down to create this morning. I didn’t have a specific theme in mind but as I began to pull interesting pieces together I realized that I did have something in mind. 
Over the last two days I’ve exchange emails with cousins from both sides of my dad’s family. A genealogy message board connected them even though they aren’t related, but I am to both of them. My “new” cousin was looking for photos and info on her Grandpa…who was my Grandpa’s brother. I was able to provide her with a photo she’d never seen of 4 of the brothers. As it turns out we live within 10 minutes of each other and plan to meet sometime after school is done. So cool!
Anyway…all this digging into the past. Thinking of stories told to me by my parents. Old photos. Genealogy. Family. Memories. All came together to inspire the page you see. 
vintage stamps and lace
Blue chip stamps and vintage trim
B&W photo and flower embellishment
All of these pieces coming together as a vintage inspired tribute to my ancestors. Their life was a great adventure. 
Ours is too. This is something I think we often forget through the drudgery of everyday life. Live your life…make it an adventure.
