The story
Mom, Phil, and I loved driving out to the Patterson Fruit Farm in Chesterland, Ohio, to pick strawberries. We would head out early on a summer morning and pick way too many, then take them home and turn most of them into freezer jam to enjoy for the rest of the year. We also piled them on cereal and shortcake and anything else we could think of. It was such a sweet way to spend a summer day.
Product/technique notes
The background paper I used is from an old My Mind’s Eye collection called Good Day Sunshine. The rest of the patterns are from the Mulberry American Crafts 6×6 paper pad. The chipboard embellishments are from the same collection. I cut the title on my Silhouette Cameo.

The story
Our family flew out to California in the summer of 1976 to visit my maternal grandparents and aunt and uncle. I was 9 years old, so days like the one we spent at Disneyland really stand out in my memory of that family vacation.
File this under magic.

The story
In the early 90s my brother was living in a borough near Pittsburgh called Wilkinsburg. On a pretty weekend sometime in 1992 (not sure what time of year, but our clothes make me think it was early spring), our family went by to pick up Mom’s Aunt Mary Lou and made a road trip to visit him there. We snapped these photos at a park near his apartment.
