My dear darling but WRONG hubby INSISTED it was green like our current one!

Kimi and Aimee both remember it being a bright blue……and were not about to back down. I recalled it being blue also but figured I would stay out of the *fight*…haha and well Calliope wasnt even around when we had that tractor BUT…she figured if her sisters thought it was blue it was BLUE…. *wink*

Hmmmmmmm how to solve this problem???????

Aimee to the rescue! She quickly ran to the large shelf full of scrapbooks and pulled out one she was sure would have photos of the tractor in it and she was right! Several layouts in that album showed various family activities centered around the tractor….rides in the yard, tilling up garden and Daddy teaching his small daughters how to steer and shift… AND GUESS WHAT??????????? YUP YUP YUP…the old tractor WAS……ready for this??? B…L…U…E !

After that lil debate was finished…we looked thru that large scrapbook and then 2 more…talking about the fun times we had. It was a wonderful way to spend some family time! My darling hubby then made a comment which made me happy to the core……… he said–”we wont ever had to look at a photo and wonder about it. Mom has made a history for us!”

So altho this isnt a challenge where you scrap or even create something–I challenge you to set aside some time to pull out some of your OLDEST scrapbooks and spend some family time looking at them. You wont regret it I promise (you might even win a lil fight or two..hehe)

I’m late, I know ….. We just had a two weeks holiday here, and now that my girls are back to school I finally found some time to create a new Quickpage for you You know what else ? Weather has been so gorgeous here these last two weeks, I really felt I needed to take adventage of this pre-summer, after a long long winter with lots of rain and greyness we all really needed that ! But now it’s back to business … may I present the newest Quickpage ?

Now if the weather in your area is as gorgeous as in mine, you can at least do some quick scrapping with this Quickpage Just add your own photo’s, and as an extra this QP comes with a simple but complete Alpha, to create your own title.

Happy scrapping !
