Magnifique

This is from LOAD516 Day27: Theme: Adventure is my Middle name and the Prompt was: Share a story about a time you were Brave! I've done a few of these already and can go int deeper a few more but right now I thought I would tell the story of how I learned to swim:
 I found these pictures from 1977 swimming at a pool at the hotel we were staying at. This is something that may have not happened if I hadn't learned how to swim. A friend's mom was teaching me, but I still wasn't approaching the deep end. Well one day the nephew of said friend ran by me as he was he accidentally pushed me in the deep end! You know at first you get that frantic feeling but then some kind of strength comes from inside and you d what you got to do! I'm here so I must have done it right :) I do enjoy swimming.
I used the sketch over at Sketch N Scrap Flashback Friday #3
 Loved this sketch and I ended up with a cool layout because of it :)
I used my current counterfeit kit for this layout and so glad to use some of that polka dot paper. Sunny Breeze kit. This will probably be a 2 page layout I have more pictures from this day that I want to scrap and will put together in the album

  5. Wow! You have been a very busy woman Tina! And I have been absent for way to long!!! So I was going to try and comment on each layout, but then I saw how many layouts you have done and there is no way I'd ever be able to comment on them all. But I can tell you that I have looked at them and loved each and every one of them! I'm a huge fan of your layouts anyway because they are always so unique and so much fun. I love reading and learning new things in your layouts. Hugs, Brenda
