Paper Roses: Roller skating....

When did you learn how to roller skate? I was about 4 or 5 years old, when my grandparents took me skating. It was love at first sight! Of course now it's been years since I've done it, but I still love skating (whether its skates, blades or even ice skating!)

My favorite part of the trips to the roller rink was when it was "couples" songs and my grandpa would gracefully glide my grandma out on the floor and they would do a bit of a dance. It was special. Those moments are forever locked in my heart!

I did this particular layout well over a year ago (it was part of my HOF 2007 entry) but thought I would finally bring it out of hibernation and post it. :)

The journaling reads: It was in 1948 in Spencer, Iowa when a young boy fell in love with a girl at the roller skating rink. He literally chased her around the roller rink for over a year before she finally gave him a chance. It wasn't too long after the girl fell in love with the boy and they skated together for another 40 years.

On other scrappy news, I am about finished with the Boxer projects! Yay! Now I will begin the 6 (including my own) books from the bachalorette party a few weekends ago. I want to have them done by next weekend.....Think I can do it??? Of course! I thrive on time constraints! :) lol. I'm also working on a few pin cushions that have been ordered....plus adding another shape, a cupcake. When I have that done I'll post that! I know there's a few of you that are asking for that one! :) I also have a few other tasty treat pin cushions that are rattling around in my creative head, so hopefully after the wedding I'll start working on those! Until later..... have a great and creative day!
