Must be carma that you would ask this question. I just this morning changed the wallpaper on my laptop to a photo of my son and my mother. He is 36 and loved my Mom dearly. She passed away in Sept. 09 and I will always cherish the memory of the 2 of them.

It is a picture that I have of my two children with my Grandmother from this past summer just before she passed away. I treasure the pictures that I have of them with her from the past 11 years, and this is the final picture that I have of the three of them together. We were so blessed to be able to spend time with her before se passed away and this picture shows the love that they had for each other.

my current favorite photo is of my 3 year old holding my 2 month old for the first time. The joy on his face can almost be felt. I just love that it is the beginning of what I hope is a very special relationship between them.

I'm into old photos right now. I have one of my grandma and grandpa in black and white. She's wearing big '60s looking sunglasses and a vintage jacket... so timeless!
I love that camera bag that's in the giveaway this week - amazing!

My favorite photo is this one I have right by my computer of my daughter (who's now 20 months) on our first outing out with her. It is an extreme close up of her face looking at me from her car seat. I just love to imagine what she was thinking....and those first new feelings of being a mom.
Thanks for the giveaways and the great blog!

Right now, I am practicing using manual on my camera so my favs are any that come out in focus with the right exposure! If I had to pick out one though, it's a close up shot of a Delilah flower. It was shot in B&W and I developed it myself - it looks like a painting!

This looks like a wonderful class. My favorite photo is one of my son picking us dandilions on a spring day. Very lovely. Oh, and one of my son and his grampie and another one of my daughter... and...and...and. I guess that's why I'm a scrapbooker.

I have lots of favorite photos, but one of my favorites is one of me and my older cousin playing dress up when we were 4 and 7. He is wearing a cape and a crown and I am wearing one of my mother's long dresses. I'm pretty sure he was a prince coming to rescue me from whatever danger I had gotten myself into... that picture brings back some amazing memories of us growing up!

I am in very few photos in the scrapbook albums. On purpose. However, in the last year I have lost a significant amount of weight. At a family get together recently, my SIL snapped a pic of me and my husband with my camera. I had no idea my face had changed so much. I love this picture. I want to be in more pictures. It's a great feeling. Thanks for the goodies.

Such wonderful giveaways, I would just love that bag!!!
My favourite photo right now is one I found of me at four years old being a briesmaid at my aunts wedding, dressed in pink, with pink flowers in my hair, with a big smile on my face. I have scanned and enlarged it and it is on my easel next to my desk.

My current favorite is of my 2 boys looking at each other while laying on my oldest bed. I was standing on the bed and got the "perfect" brother shot. They are smiling at each other with mischevous grins...I think I am going to have it blown up and printed in black and white to hang in the living room!
Thanks for another great giveaway. I am currently taking Shimelle's class and LOVING it!
