Snowboarding

This is Michael and Justin snowboarding last winter. I had so much fun making this page. I laughed looking back through these photos. The boys had so much fun snowboarding and sledding down our hill. This kit was so much fun to use and fit the photos so well.

School Spirit Brag book exchange

The Blush-N-Dusty Yahoo Group is having a quick page exchange using Lara Payton's cute School Spirit and School Spirit Companion kits. Here are two pages that I made. If you participate, you'll get these pages (without the photos or journaling) plus all the other ones made by the participants.

Brace Face

Journaling: You were understandably reluctant to get your new braces, but you couldn't tell that based upon your smile afterwards. They make you look so grown up!

Childhood photos of Dave and I

My husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago. He gave me a pretty photo album as one of my gifts. The title on the book is “With every step love grows” so I thought I would work on a book of us. It holds 2-4X6 photos per page. It’s so different doing 4X6 scrap pages. Here is my first pair of pages.

Thomas D. Oviatt

This is my great-great-grandfather, Thomas D. Oviatt.



Journaling:

Thomas D. Oviatt

Thomas was born July 22, 1838 in the town of Jackson, New York. He was the second of two children born to Samuel and Lydia Loudon (McMillan) Oviatt. Thomas’ mother died when he was only three years old. His father remarried and had another child with his new wife.

Thomas married Isabelle R. (Arnott) on December 7, 1869. They had six children together—4 boys and 2 girls.

He was listed as a farmer in the census records. His daughter, Margaret, said that his chief occupation was going West very often and bringing back a carload of horses, farm horses, driving horses, etc.

Thomas did have his teaching certificate, but by the time he wrote his will (two days before his death) he could no longer even sign his name. He died October 6, 1887 and was laid to rest in Woodlands Cemetery at Cambridge, New York next to his beloved wife.
