Standing wobbly on the bed with natural light fading fast, I clicked the shutter on a subject that surprised me. When I started cleaning Sarah's bedroom, I planned to photograph a special piece of beautiful art glass — a colorful flower bought in the gift shop when she and I visited Phipps Conservatory a few years back. Instead, I felt drawn to capture this silk arrangement the moment I went at it with my wet rag.
As I gently wiped the rose petals, I fondly recalled transforming two-year-old Sarah's nursery into her first bedroom. We chose a beautiful rose-patterned paper to cover the walls, and I had this matching beribboned swag made to hang over her new dresser — sweet roses all around for my sweet little girl. The swag moved with us to this house when she was thirteen. Now, both Sarah and the swag are over thirty years old and still as sweet as ever!
I praise you, Lord, for time to reflect on over thirty years of blessings.
A beautiful photo and such beautiful memories. I love how you remember and bring to life your memories. Janet will you create a photo album or photo book from these photos and words? It would be such a fabulous family heirloom.
@kgolab Thank you so much for your encouraging comment...I sincerely appreciate your support of my project. I created photo books from my first two 365 projects and will do the same with this one. I never set out to record any family history in my projects, so I am amazed at how much history they actually do hold! :)
