"Word Association" by Amanda

DateWednesday, February 3, 2010 at 5:00AM

I'll start things off. I took this challenge literally. As I've been completing the previous challenges, I keep running into little stories that I want to tell. This challenge allowed me to pull many of those thoughts together. As I so often do, I simply made a list...of things that make me think of my dad. The stories aren't included here, but just making the list helped me remember them. And now I have something to work from when I do get around to telling those stories...


Please don't forget to link us up in the comments section of the original post if you tackle this challenge! We'd love to see what you come up with!

I love how you included a bit of duct tape as an embellishment, Amanda! The list-style is a great way to approach this challenge. I see you have stamp collecting listed. Alexa has been fascinated with my stamp collection and we've been going through it bit-by-bit. :)

I love this list, Amanda. I will do the same for my dad -- and for the rest of my family. It will be neat to incorporate this for my kiddos, as well, to look back and see what their "words" were at a certain time in their lives.

Love the grungy background and the layout design.

I love this list - capturing inside moments, favorite times, etc. I'd like to revisit this challenge doing something similar, I think it'll help with future LOs!
