Well I've already accomplished one goal, someone liked my idea about putting your pets on your Christmas cards.
Here's another Molly card from Christmas.
I'm so glad that I took pictures of Molly and designed these cards. It's nice to look through my box of stuff that I've made and see her pictures and smile. And that's what I mean about "take a picture, it does last longer". Take pictures of your loved ones and let them take pictures of you. Some day someone will be searching through a box trying to find a picture of you, or a picture from a special moment in time. A picture that when you look at it, will make you smile, remembering that day, that time.
I spent this past weekend down the Jersey Shore with family and went through a box of pictures. I was searching for a picture of me with my mom. I have a nice collection of pictures of her, but none of just me and her. Though I didn't find any pictures of me and mom, I did have the best time looking through the pictures and seeing and remembering so many wonderful times that I shared with family and friends. I found one picture of my youngest brother's birthday. He's blowing out the candles on his cake and my mom is behind him clapping her hands and the smile on her face is so beautiful to see. And I'm in there...well I think that's my hand!?! In any case, I was back in time there with her this weekend, seeing her in her little housecoat, which at the time I thought was so corny and oh so not cool, but now, now that stupid little housecoat is so cool. Even looking at the dining room and the pictures that hung on the wall at that time, it makes your memories come to life. Of course I found tons of pictures of me that I couldn't stand! My hair! Some of those outfits? What was I thinking?! But someday someone will rummage through one of those famous boxes that we all have looking for a picture of me and no matter how bad the picture may be, they will smile. Go take a picture right now. You're creating a future smile.
