ooooooh, that is beeeeautiful!
My favorite childhood memory is spending time at my grandparents house in the summer, I loved falling asleep to the sound of frogs (cherping or croaking or whatever it is frogs do) I loved playing on the firetrucks that my Grandpa had in his huge garage. (her was the fire chief and collected old firetrucks). Those were the days ;)
Wow that is an awesome mini album beautiful!! My favorite childhood memory also involves my grandparents,they owned a Greenhouse business and I would help with all the plants just loved spending time with them. Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh my...this is adorable..my favorite childhood memory is one of my stepdad taking me on a sled behind his pickup and crashing into a bush on the corner....my mom was not happy, but I had a blast!
One of my favorite memories from my childhood was when I would go stay with my grandparents for a week each summer. My grandfather would take me to Dairy Queen for a chocolate dip cone every afternoon and it was our special time together. I still eat dip cones and each and every time I think of him. I miss his so much. Wonderful album Tam...but it would look even cuter at my house...LOL!
fabulous mini album Tam! Might have to ask you to be a guest for CS someday soon!
My favorite childhood memory was going to my grandparents house...They had a swimming pool, and a pool table...And we would play cards with my grandma....
My favorite childhood memory is waiting for the ice cream man to come by after dinner. We'd be running around in the yard and listening for the bells...

My favorite childhood memories revolve around summer days spent at the cottage - swimming in the lake, laying in the hammock and taking walks in the woods. There was no television there so at night we played games or read a books. Tam, your book is beautiful!!!
well one of my fondest memories NOW (wasn't at the time) was a trip to my grandparents for the summer and I met a boy that I was totally crazy about and we were together all the time that summer. One night we were kissing goodbye, and OMG my darling BRATTY sister was flushing the toilet everytime we kissed. The bathroom window faced the street!! Was totally embarrassing, but I laugh now.
Does that remind you of anyone Tam?
I'm sure you know who this is haha

My favorite childhood memories were when we had family gatherings and I spent alot of time listening to the family stories, not knowing when I became an adult, I'd end up being the family genealogist.
My parents would keep running me out of the room to play with all of my cousins, but I'd sneak back in to listen.
This was my Dad's family, they had moved from Kansas to California in the 1930's, loved listening to all of the stories, now I wish I'd kept notes all of those years.
Tam, love your work you've done on all of the mini albums you make.
hmmm..I have many and it's hard to choose. I think one of em was to stay up very late at night after a full day of swimmining in the pool.
We wanted to watch creature feature, eat popcorn and snug and be scared senseless!
THEN, after the movie it was time for television to "sign off" and we'd here the National Anthem play awhile the flaged waved...**sigh** the good ole days!
The album is beautiful always! Diana
Love your blog!
My favorite childhood memory is going 4 wheeling and camping in the desert in California.

What a beautiful album, Tam!! All my favorite childhood memories involved the swimming pool. Lots of time in the pool and the smell of coppertone sunscreen will always remind me of growing up!
Wowzers... that is one wonderful album!!!! I want it :) I'll be keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for this one :)
My favorite childhood memories are the ones of my 5 siblings and I spent either gathered around the piano signing to whatever songs my dad would play or in front of the tv on Friday nights with our snacks and soda watching the Brady Bunch then the Partridge Family (we were only aloud to have snacks and soda on tv night)
It is so hard to pick just one memory, when you are a great grandmother yourself there are a lot of memories. I remember going to see my grandparents riding in an old car down a narrow highway and having to split one stick of gum with my little brother. Whoever divided the gum had to let the other sibling choose which half they wanted. You can bet we divided it as evenly as we could! We got to sleep on feather beds with colorful quilts when we got there. The mini album is beautiful.
We loved swimming at night, getting out and running around the house freezing and screaming, then jumping back in. We would do that for hours!
What an adorable album, Tam!! My favorite memories are of spending time with my Granny. She was a special and wonderful woman and loved to have all of us around her. That's the kind of grandmother I have always tried to be - I want my kiddoes to have the same memories of me.
One of my favorite childhood memories is the smell of fresh baked bread. and of course eating it right of the oven with homemade butter.
I would love to win this wonderful album.

I LOVE your mini album...well, I haven't seen too many mini albums I didn't love, but your details are great! My favorite childhood memory has to be perusing my Granny's button box when we'd visit...not only it contain great buttons, but there were other little things in there that were unexpected surprises. To this day, I wish I had that box (which was really a large, round metal "box".
Childhood was such a special time growing up in the '50's with safe surroundings in a small town... it was all so super! My favorite memory was swimmng at Indian Foot Lake south of St. Louis with LOTS of baby oil and Iodine to make us tan FAST!
Love, love, love your mini album! Thanks for this opportunity!
Hi Tam. Miss seeing your work. Def. miss our forum!! The only person I still chat with is Margee.
My childhood favorite is my big green frog my mom made. I still have him. I use to carry that thing everywhere and he is big. Favorite times were making crafts and selling them on our driveway. My neighbor is the only one who came and bought them-he is such a sweet old man. I miss him and the neighborhood.
Wow! What a beautiful album!!
My favorite childhood memory is sitting on my Papap's lap with our toast "soldiers" and we'd take turns dunking them in his coffee Ö
I shutter thinking about that soggy toast now but loved him like crazy and could just sit there so content all day. *Ü*
my favorite memory is going to my Grandmothers every summer, she did all kinds of things with me and we had a lot of fun.
What a great album! My favorite childhood memory is going camping with my family, cousins and aunts and uncles! We always had a terrific time together even if the weather was bad it rained all day and night! laura j
My favorite childhood memory is visiting my grandmother - Growing up in Florida -of course we did not have basements - so when I first went to my grandmothers house up north - I fell in love with her basement - and it was filled with books - I spent hours and hours there - reading - - I could have just stayed in there for weeks. thank you for reminding me of the memories.
your mini book is adorable & I would feel so grateful to win it! My favorite childhood memory would have to be going up north and renting a cabin with another family. We fished, played and had bomfires.....so much fun!
Your mini book is so lovely. Who ever wins it will be lucky.
My favorite childhood memory was my dog, Snook. She would sleep with me every night, When I would have a drama fit, she would come and lick away my tears. The list goes on. I am lucky because I feel that I had a wonderful childhood.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Books, books, books, books -- fortunately I had a branch library about 3 blocks from my house and in the summer I would take my wagon down to it to bring home a pile of books. Went down in 3rd grade and they'd only let me take 1 book out - said it would take me much more than 1 day to read it. I brought it back that same day and they quizzed me about it. After that I could take as many as I wanted out. Lois Lenski, Laura Ingalls Wilder, all the Bobbs & Merrill historical books -- those were my starters - now I'm very eclectic in my books and I still have favorite memories of reading, reading, reading - what a beautiful little album, whether I win it or not
My favorite childhood memories are all the many times I found "stray" animals and begged my parents to let me keep them. Little did I realize they weren't strays and I would be so sad when they left...It turns out I knew then that I wanted to help animals - which led me to my current career.
I guess I'm too late..
My favorite childhood memory is when dad cooked food and I was his helper. Sometimes it was just hot dogs but it all became a restaurant kitchen and I was dressed up as a chef. :D Nice album!
your blog is great!! i had to do some peeking before leaving a comment. i am now going to go look into the unity stamp club kit... oh i just might get into trouble!!
your mini album is adorable!! thanks for sharing your creativity and for this great giveaway!!
What an adorable album!
My favorite childhood memory was after a tornado came within about 5 miles of our house, there was so much rain in our backyard area that it created a pond... we called it Lake Minihaha (as kids we thought that was hilarious!)
We played in that water till for so many days.. till it was nothing but a mucky muddy mess, my sweet Mom just hosed us off afterward without a complaint about the mess we made. My mother passed away this past December, thank you so much for jogging my mind to remember those wonderful days and moments with her :oD

Very Beautiful Album. I love it. My favorite childhood memory is swimming with my family...we always had a blast, and with 4 kids there was no end to games, diving and tea parties at the bottom of the pool. To this day I still do handstands in the pool...it's the only time I stay up! ;) Beautiful work.
One of my favorite childhood moment is sitting in the afternoon with my grandad and hearing him telling me many stories about the family and when he was young.
One of my most favorite childhood memories is when my Grampa (now deceased) took the whole family - mom and her 6 kids, uncle and his 2 boys and my aunt and gramma out on the boat to this little "island" of sandy dirt for a family picnic. Us kids (and I am sure the adults) had tons of fun running around, running in and out of the water, playing games, eating, laughing and talking. At one point my little sister (then 4 or 5) started crying because she got her shoes wet while running in the water (do you think she was getting tired?) so me being the big (and might I add) helpful sister, placed her shoes next to the fire to dry them . . . big mistake. . . as they melted. Talk about big ole crocodile tears! 45 years later its still a fun story to tell and hear when those of us who survive get together. Thanks for the memories!
Oh! I was wondering where the WhatchaMaDoodle went! Didn't know you had a blog! Glad that I checked on Scrapscene, that mini album is BEAUTIFUL!
I think my favorite memory of my childhood years would be sitting with grandma in her kitchen, sipping on coffee, eating bread and cheese and listening to the beautiful stories she would tell me. I miss those days.
I suppose I have to say it's being outside skating around the block we had tons of kids and our house was the place they all came to.Setting up a tent sleeping outside just kid things play tetherball was another cause I use to win a lot .LOL. Things were so different back then..
Anyways your creations rock my socks
this is a super cool album
gorgeous !!
What a beautiful album. One of my favorite childhood memories is going to Michigan from NJ for summer vacation. My grandpa had a big old barn and my cousins and I would play in the haw and have rotten apple fights out in the grove.
Thanks for the chance to win.
