A Piece of your family history beautifully preserved - love the newspaper clipping and the interview with your Mom makes it PERFECT. The title and simple, yet effective, embellies, allow the story to be the STAR. GREAT JOB Izzy. How scary that must have been for your Mom as well as for everyone out looking for her.
Such an amazing story Izzy! Thank goodness that they found her. I can only imagine how worried HER Mom was. Wow! You always do such an amazing job of telling a story. I love this page!
Wow...what a story! Your poor mom! I can't imagine how frightened she was...and how terrified her family must have been. A*MAZ*ING job on this lo! It is perfection!!!
I loved this page! I like the map and u-turn sign at the bottom of the page. But most of all I love the history that's being retained....that's what I see as the true genuis of scrapbooking.
Great work! What an amazing backstory! Poor thing, she must have been petrified. I love how you have done the title work... and the map "peeking" out the bottom! really wonderful work! tfs:)
This is my mom in 1949. When she was 7, her family moved out into the country. On the first day at her new school, she took the wrong school bus home and got lost overnight. More than 1,000 volunteers combed the woods and surroundings looking for her. A fireman named Richard Gardner found her chilled, scratched and hungry the next day. Many years later, Mom named her first born son Richard after the man who rescued her.
The story made the national news. I tucked an old clipping from the Washington Post under her photo and scanned the full story from another newspaper and put it on the back. I interviewed my mom about this adventure last week and typed it here next to her photo.
Paper and embellies are Cosmo Cricket, Crate and October Afternoon.
