    It’s personal

    personalThe last page in my Watkins journal. Gathered from bits and pieces thrown in a drawer.

    The photo is me from a couple years ago. It was an extra from a scrapbook page…yes, have been known to scrapbook every once in a great while.

    I wrote a personal journal entry on the back of the date due slip in the pocket.

    All I have left is to do some things with the outside covers of this journal. It’s been a fun experimenting journal. I’ve started using a date stamp so I can keep track of what I did and when. You always think you’ll remember but I have learned that I just don’t.

    Slide conversion

    March 18, 2013 - By 

    Little MeI fear my best option for digitizing the remaining 100 or so slides I have from my childhood might be this technique. Me, holding the slide up to the window and taking a photo against the bright white backdrop of our snow covered yard. I better to get to it since Spring is just around the corner….supposedly.

    Then each of those photos will need to be cropped in Photoshop to a printable size. UGH!  That’s a lot of work but since I seriously can’t ever remember seeing any of these slides…ever, it will be worth the extra effort.

    Yes, that little toe head is me. The slide says ’79 but I’m sure it was from a couple years before. More like Summer of ’77 if I’m correct with the location of the photo. I guess I was allergic to a hairbrush.  😉  I’m surprised my beautician mom let me go around like that…much less get my picture taken.
