Wander thru family photos – Coaxing Creativity Tuesday Tip July 27, 2010
Prescott Girls - can you tell we're sisters?
July is Family Reunion month, but we don’t have to wait for a special occasion to celebrate those cherished memories. Family photos are everywhere in my house. Boxes of prints and hundreds of slides reside in my drawers and closets. Now that I’ve graduated to digital, computer files populate my hard drive. Polished and posed for special events – graduations, weddings, and baptisms family and friends return my gaze in my personal gallery along with lop sided grins and bunny ears at family gatherings. Candid moments and orchestrated tableaus tell the stories of my life. How wonderful to be able to revisit what was then with the perspective of who we are now. Happy travels…
I LOVE my photos too! We are in the process of creating a memorabilia wall at Princeton Seafood documenting our 30 years of being the hub of the harbor. I can’t wait to show it to you!
I also want to create a photo wall in my main wall with the theme “Life is a Beach” and have photos of our family at the beach.
Thanks for your tips, I look forward to them. Also I liked your article in Coastviews on Butler. Made me think of a book about cars and their owners……

Dear Mary:
I was drawn in by the word “Wander . . .” evocative and so appealing. While I don’t have “real” photos catalogued or put into scrapbooks or online, I DO have boxes of them waiting to be done! So I “wandered” through photographs in my mind’s eye. Lovely, restful, so, so enjoyable. Thank you for prompting me to take a little “time out” to remember, and to feel the love, again. xx Vicki
