The best thing about memories is making them!

Smile Lines

It’s my birthday this weekend (I’m 52, but who’s counting!) and since it’s my birthday I felt like it was time to make a kit I’ve been thinking about for a while now.  Smile Lines is all about growing older with a bit of grace, and a whole lot of fun!  I honestly love the little smile lines I have around my eyes now.  They tell me that I’ve lived a good life full of smiles and laughter.  I think that’s something worth celebrating, don’t you?  Check it out…

This first page below is me completely unfiltered.  I’m using a template by the amazing Cindy Schneider and as soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do with it.  I felt pretty silly taking a bunch of selfies, but I love how it turned out.  So this is me at 52… no makeup, no filter, just me!

Of course, the rest of the team created some amazing pages as well (as per usual!)

Today’s the Day FWP

Same As I Ever Was

This week’s collection is all about aging gracefully.  It’s my birthday coming up on the 24th and it’s a big one this year…. 50!  *gasp*

I heard the song “Once in a Lifetime” by the Talking Heads recently, and that repeated line, “same as it ever was” sort of stuck in my head.  I kept thinking that despite getting older, I am the same as I ever was.  Hence, this collection was born.  Despite me moving into a new decade, I don’t feel any older than I did when I was younger.  I certainly wouldn’t go back to being that uncertain 20-something!  (Although I wouldn’t mind being the size I was back then, I won’t lie!)  All in all, I’ve enjoyed getting older and becoming who I really am.  I’ve found a real freedom to just be me in recent years, and that’s kind of nice.
