Seems Like Yesterday

My DD, Traci at 3 months. I had to scan the photo and tried to make repairs. Who would have thought that photos from 1975 would change colors?? I wanted to keep it girly with the pink, but I also wanted to highlight the cute little yellow sundress she's wearing. I used lots of buttons on this and the pink dots are actually 3-d paint. the clock face is a Heidi Swapp clear stamp on a transparency. The scalloped edges are done with the Martha Stewart scallop edge punch. Journaling is tucked behind the photo and reads:

It’s amazing the feelings and emotions that I have when I sort through some of our old photos. It brings back so many memories. You were my firstborn. I thought that I knew everything about caring for a baby, but I was wrong. Being a full time mama was nothing like the babysitting I did as a teenager. You were so tiny. You only weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and I was so scared that I’d “break” you. I spent hours each day just holding you and rocking you. I totally ignored the housework. I couldn’t bear to be away from you. I even moved you from room to room with me. Your Daddy stayed home with us the first week. He would get up with you at night and he was always the one to prepare your bottles. When he went back to work the next week, I had to call him and ask how to prepare your bottle! You had thrush for a while and didn’t eat like you needed to. In this photo, you were about 3 ½ months old…and you only weighed about 11 pounds. It really does “seem like yesterday” that I was holding you…and now you’re grown and have a son of your own…where did the time go? Traci - 3 months - May 1975


Thanks so much for looking! :D
