This page was of my son opening his birthday gifts from our family. I used the next page in my layout to guide the design and flow of this page. (I know, I know...it is that flow issue I have).
Paper: Reminisce Genuine Boy, CTMH Ivory
It was also fun to use this paper, as it brought back great memories! I purchased this paper while on a trip to Omaha a year ago. In fact, I got it at Mangelsons, which was the best store ever! Oh my gosh, how did I miss that place when I was in college? I mean, really...I lived in that town for 4 years and I had never set foot in there! They had all of their Halloween stuff out...holy smokes; every costume under the sun! Their craft section rocked...picked up some Webkins for the kids...I could have stayed there all day!
To digress further, I had not been back to Omaha since 1994...Elkhorn used to be the end of the Earth and now it is a suburb of Omaha. Oh my gosh! It was shocking...not because I did not expect the city to grow, but it was just so different! Thankfully, one thing the stayed the same: my favorite place, The Garden Cafe, still has one little restaurant left...and I enjoyed the best breakfast, complete with a yummy muffin! Thanks Tonya for driving my rear around all day! I had so much fun!

Nice layout on the scrapbook pages. I also enjoyed your tour. It reminds me of my home in California where their would be a housing development and then right next door would be the fields. Except we grew strawberries - no mj!
Great pages. I love the stars. I need to get back to scrapping. I've been very neglectful lately.
Thanks for the tour. It looks a lot like it does here. Well, maybe not here in Kentucky, but here in the states. How long will you be in Japan?
My kids will be sending more happy mail to yours soon. They have the card fronts done, now they need to actually write something in the cards.

How funny! I am from the Omaha area. Oh, and I used to hit the Garden Cafe as much as humanly possible - loved the potato casseroles and huge muffins.
