I Also Love Paper Bags

And especially small paper bags! Now that I have found another way to put them together so that when they're filled with paper and photos they actually close! I've made this one for my brother for his birthday (we both have too much stuff to buy things!) about a special time in our lives... oh what fun we had! This is a way better use for paper bags than for groceries... or squished lunches.

Just a simple cover for a simple time.

He is with Winky here... his dog that ate rocks... big rocks... he'd whine and chew and go crazy trying to eat boulders!

And that funny kid with the goggles on her head is me!

We were close... we've grown apart through the years but we still have these memories.

Yes, they went out fishing by themselves in a little dinghy and look what they caught... the worst part about it all was my Dad had us clean what we caught... ugh... but we learned to appreciate a good piece of fish!
There's a little Tom Sawyer in all boys I think!
We were so lucky... when we were even younger that some of these photos, we were out with boats and on the water in the bay... we were usually covered in dried salt water most of the summer - we had the time of our lives with so many great memories. I am so lucky to have found the negatives of these photos and then to have gotten a scanner to scan them with... the photos turned out pretty good for such old negatives!
