Happy First Day of Spring 2016!!!

I was up late last night trying to get a layout started for the challenge I am participating in and trying to use up a lot of stash of flowers and leaves. I have a lot of Maggie Holmes embellishments and I am trying to use them up instead of hanging on to them. This is a layout of my grandmother, Wilma, who was quite the fashionable and forward of women back in the roaring 20's. She married a man on a dare, never lived with him and either got a divorce or an annulment a few months after. She wore her hair in the style of the day with a spit curl in the middle of her forehead and had a dress that was a sheath to the hips with layers of fringe to the knee. Quite the Vamp!!!

My newest layout for our challenge for week 2. It was fun doing these old pictures of Stephen and I at Christmas. We always got costumes as part of our gifts...........loved them!!

I am moving a bunch of pictures and layouts over here from photobucket since they are driving me crazy...can't deal with them anymore. Here goes....

Testing the system and seeing if I remember how to do this!!!

I am trying to remember how to blog......it has been forever and with some stories I want them to be out here and not floating in my head. Also it needs to be a hosting site for my layouts so that I can share them more easily than from photobucket which is being awful. So here goes, lets see if this works!!
