"Lost my Heart in Galveston" page

While going through some old albums to find some meaningful and deep pages to photograph for a friend I decided to share them here on Pinkdilla as well. I’m a firm believer in sharing family photos and stories with the next generation, kids should know who their grandparents and great-grandparents are. From just displaying photos in the house to actually talking about the memories with our kids I’m fortifying the grounds of romance that have gone down through the generations and that is how any of us are here to begin with! 2 People, somewhere, fell in love, got married and had you! Maybe you don’t have kids yet or maybe you are waiting for kids, scrapbook a memory page of you or your parents as babies or kids! I was missing my grandma like everyday and decided to keep on scrapbooking pages of her and also my grandpa. Seeing them young and in love makes them real and makes them close by to me. I also feel a strong connection to Galveston Island the place were several generations of my family started!
