Since then I've been wanting to browse through antique stores to see what I can find. A couple weekends ago I did that and found a camera from the 50's... I was drawn to the flash, it's so HUGE!
And I discovered a sewing machine from 1956 that was never used. Unfortunately the foot petal was not packed with the sewing machine but that's ok since it's on display. But it still has a tag on it!
I just may have been bit by the antique bug. You know, when we were in New Orleans we stopped off at an antique store but it didn't draw me in like this... maybe because it was furniture that was out of my price range and no way for me to get it home.
And my next thing I'm doing is creating a memory / joy wall. I've printed several pictures to hang up on my wall, but as usual I'm having a hard time editing which ones to use. Here's a couple that I'll be using:
In April 2009 Laura, Kim, and I attended a Digital Photography class. But it ended up being more of "Understanding Digital Photography and some points in post production editing."
In August 2008 we went to the Border's release party of Breaking Dawn. Kelsy and I dressed up :-)
In July 2008, Sarah attended the first day of Comic Con in San Diego with me. We ended up camping outside of Hall H and had awesome seats for the panels the following day. Which one of those happened to be a Twilight panel. This was my first time camping out for anything. I now can say I slept on the streets of San Diego.
In April 2008, we did a family trip down to Bandon, OR. We got to hold little baby leopards and I saw a white tiger. I love white tigers...
In August 2008, Laura and I did a trip up to Forks, WA and little Lach had the opportunity of coming with us. This was back when Lach liked me, now he's too busy to let me hold him or smile at me. I just get "ehhh" when I try to hold him... what did I do that boy? :-) LOL
In September 2007 I had an opportunity to visit Egypt which has always been a dream of mine. And it was amazing! I accomplished every goal I had for Egypt!!

In September 2008 Kelsy and I decided we wanted to dress up like punks and go to the movies. So we roped Derek and a friend of Kelsy's to come with us. (I put eyeliner on Derek.) We went and saw Mama Mia and the looks we got from people was priceless! People would actually avoid us and quickly get out of our way. It was a very interesting social experiment and very fun!
I may fill it up with past memories and won't have room for new ones! LOL

You might need a couple joy walls...that is a good problem to have!
I love photo memories! I've discovered as I've "gotten older" that other souvenirs are great, but it's my photos that will still mean to most to me years later.
LOVE the punk photo, you guys look so cool, a bit like a rock band. I have an old Kodak like like, mine is from the 30's and does not have that awesome flash on it. I really want that old sewing machine, so cool!
Awesome finds! They look great in your room!
Love your photo wall plans!
You have some great memory photos!!!
Yeah for fun and memories. You have done some amazing things. Love you.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that sewing machine. If you ever need to let go of some things... I would be willing to take that off your hands. I love all these pics you posted.. fabulous!
