Old Stuff, Old Memories

Now that I have a house my parents are having me go through all of my old boxes and decide what stuff I want to keep and what needs to be thrown out.  I can't believe some of the junk I kept, but some of it just makes me smile.  All of my cumerbunds from choir and the show outfit were still in there.  My kids at school would love to see what awful ones I had.  Their's were a lot cuter, but the funny thing is that I looked at the tag and it's the same exact company.

I also found my clay mask that I actually won an award for in 6th grade.  It's the only art project that even came close to being decent, but alas after all these years its falling apart and time to part ways.

Before the days of quilting, the only thing that I did that could be considered even remotely craftsy was Latch Hook.  I used to love doing it- this was the very first one I ever did. 

One really cool thing that I found was an old wooden picture frame that had pictures taken of me the day Adam was born.  I was 16 months old and some of those pictures remind me exactly of Nathan (I had a little longer hair and that was about it)- particularly the bottom right hand corner.  I'm going to see if we can scan them in, so there's a better version of the pictures.  Fun stuff. 

Joel will be happy to know that of the 5 boxes I managed to clean it out to 2 boxes.  :)
