Beautiful quotes and great photos! Is that beach somewhere near the outer banks? The kites reminded me of the outer banks :)

I love getting "lost" in photographs. Time seems to hark back to the time and place of sweet memories! Your scrapbook is wonderfully done.

Great post!
photos + words = MEMORIES...

Connie said...

These are great, Tracy! Your family is lucky to have you capturing these memories, in such a pretty and creative way too. :-)

Nancy said...

I think scrapbooking is very much like blogging. I find myself thinking about the photos I take and how they will look in a blog post -- do you do the same thing with your scrapbook pictures Tracy? Imagine what they will look like on a scrapbook page? :)

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi Tracy, You are so creative.... Love your scrapbooks... They are definitely your memories!!!!

I want to get my blog put into a book.. It will cost me a small fortune ---but I need to do it --for the memories it will leave for future generations...

Since we've gone digital on our photos now, I don't make albums like I used to... SO--I need to get my blog printed..

Hugs,
Betsy

I could use a little beach, I have wanted to be there all month.

Hi Tracy, Here's hoping you have many good days and more fond memories. In answer to your question, I don't use the follower's gadget, though I believe people connect from their own blogs and dashboards. Have a great day!

Such beautiful memories and such an important part of our lives!

Hi Tracy: My book club just finished and discussed "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand". It was a comfortable book to get into and I recommend it highly. We are very diverse in that we read biographies, political books, best sellers and memoirs. It's a serious book group made up of women who are homemakers, professionals, etc. We also do outings as a group with our husbands to museums, historic sites, etc. Last year, we visited one of the huge cemeteries in Chicago where a lot of well-known people are buried. Very interesting! We also go to the musical offerings in Chicago.

Thanks for asking.

Best,
Bonnie

YOur pages are wonderful. I thought of doing that with my photos, but I guess my blog is my photo journal instead.

Elaine said...

Beautiful scrapbook pages! Thanks for stopping by my blog. To answer your question, no, I don't live on Vashon. My son and his family live there and we were visiting when I took the barn photo. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska, but we like to travel, so I often post photos taken in various other places that we've visited.

Beautifully done and what a wonderful passage to place at the foot of your post. Quiet lovely, dear!
