The Best Christmas Present Ever
The best presents are the presents that are from the heart... They cannot be bought with money... Last Christmas, my mom asked me what I would like for Christmas... She asked me if there was anything she had that I would want.... I think she may have thought I would ask for a piece of jewelry... or a collector's plate... or something else that had monetary value.... but none of those things came to mind.... The only thing I could think of was a picture... A picture of her and my dad when they were dating... She was 15 and he was 20... I have always thought my mom was so beautiful in this picture and my dad was kind of a hottie..... She had this picture in a picture collage and I have always loved it..... Now I have it on my bookcase for all to see...

Yes she is beautiful, but she looks older than 15....
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful and your dad is good looking too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful couple.
They make a handsome couple, and that photo was the perfect Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute couple! Great gift!
ReplyDeletePRICELESS! I love it! You are sooo write. I would rather have a picture or something someone has taken the time to "make" for me, any day.

You're not supposed to be encouraging dating at fifteen especially when we have soon-to-be 15-year old's. Okay, maybe yours are sooner to 15 than mine but Kelly! What are you doing? :) LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh Sew Good - I so do not encourage dating at 15 - I don't encourage it at all - lol.. that is something I am SEW not ready to deal with. (my kid is boy crazy enough - Lord, save me) The reason the picture is so dear to me is that my dad passed away a little over a year ago and I love the innocence of this picture..
ReplyDeleteLove to you always.
Kelly
OH my yes!!!! That would be something I would absolutely love to display too!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful picture Kelly. I was just having a little fun with you as always. :) The only dating I encourage right now is in the form of Larabar's. They are made with dates, fruits and nuts. :)
ReplyDeleteHaaa! They are postively gorgeous! Hubba hubba!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo. My favorite things I currently possess are my old family photos.

Great idea for a gift; it gets rather ridiculous, year after year trying to come up with the perfect gift, does it not?
ReplyDeleteFor my folks this year, I did a photo book of some of the previous years best pictures. They loved it. So much better to them than disposable stuff.
Thanks for stopping by the blog; you are always welcome there, and beware of lurking vampires in your area. Should I see any over here today in the middle of my ice storm, I'll send them your way:)

What a beautiful photo. Don't you just love old pictures like this? I'm with you, this is better than jewelry or anything else she could have given you!
