This three week class will make the most of the creative energy we have in the spring and by the end you'll have zero guilt as you put all those supplies into beautiful projects.

Right now, it is a picture of my mom and dad dancing happily at their 40th wedding anniversary party that my sister and I threw for them. Almost 3 years later, dad has passed on and I treasure both the photo, and the memories of honoring them both in such a special way.

I had a Brownie with flash, just like the one in the photos. It was a present from my first boy friend. Think that doesn't bring back fond memories!!!

Its a picture of my 15 year old daughter with RED hair dye and her new ultra cool black glasses. After I printed it, I realized...wow...she's 15 and become her own person! Its scary and exciting all at the same time!

My current favorite is a four generation photo where I am the grandma. Not too many more years and I will be the great grandma. So many memories to record and treasure.

I took a picture of my son when he was about 18 months old. He was in a colorful stroller with a baseball hat on. It's a close-up and just captures him at that age. Many have commented that it looks professionally shot.

I'm actually sorting through pictures right now (for LOM) and came across a polaroid of my grandparents at a New Year's Eve party and I L-O-V-E it! I'm going to scan it, scrapbook it, and possibly even frame it. They both passed away a few years ago and they look so so *ALIVE* and happy in this photo. It made me laugh out loud.

My favorite photo is one that I took of my daughter last week - we finally got a chance to go outside and enjoy the weather - now that she's walking it's so much fun taking pictures of her movements - my scrapbooks will now be taking new form with more than just photos of her sitting or standing! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

My favorite photo right now is one that is crazy blurry and all out of focus, but the CUTEST thing! I was taking a picture of my 4 year old daughter and she came running towards me with this huge smile on her face. All you can see in the picture is her entire face, but it's adorable. ;)
Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite photo is of my son and me, taken from behind, looking over the edge of the boat that took us out on a snorkeling trip. I was reminded of this photo by your photo of Anna (being busy). I love photos like this!

my fav at this moment is one I took last night. my daughter is 9 today & had her girlfriends spend the night... There was much laughter and many smiles and as I was taking this photo I also snapped a mental picture too-I want to remember her just at that moment-mouth open wide in laughter-eyes bright-having the time of her life surrounded by friends who love her. It was a fun night.... Until they woke me up at 12:30 and 1:30 and again after 2! :-)

I had my camera with me this Christmas when we stopped at teh tree place to pick up some greenery for the mantle. (We have a fake tree.) My 2 y/o son was running around, there was snow on the ground, and he had on his black winter hat (which really makes him look like Dopey from the Seven Dwarfs. Really, why did the youngest one with no beard have to be named Dopey?) It's a close-up shot of him taken from a high angle, a little off to the side. There is a strong shadow on his face since it was noon, but I love the look in his eyes, seeing the black of his hat framing his face, and he bright creamy skin from the reflection of the snow. I have an 8x10 print of it in my living room. Love it. I have a similar precious close-up of my daughter in the same room, so both my kids greet me constantly.

My current favorite photo is of my teenage daughter in a moment of playfulness trying to raise each of her eyebrows individually. Usually very appearance conscious, she let the inner kid out to play. Even better, she lets me display the photo!
