This week we're linking up to Susan's Met Monday at Between Naps on the Porch. Be sure to visit-you are guaranteed to find incredible inspiration
This is a metamorphosis that this Mom isn't quite ready for! I apologize for the huge number of pictures (and the quality- our scanner bailed on me so I'm taking pictures of pictures)- I'm really feeling the need for a trip down memory lane.....♪♪ Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la ♪♪
