was going thru some old photos and found one of me, my sis and mom back in the day when we 1st got stationed in the philippines...and of course i just had to scrap it along with a modern pic of us.  the journaling on this lo notes:  "i can't believe how much time has gone by and how many changes we have gone through. time has definitely been on our side."

used the LRS Jan. 2010 kit, love American Crafts!

here's some then & now sumthinz:
