When I saw K&Co.'s Berry Sweet paper pack, it took me right back to my childhood, growing up '70s Midwestern suburbia. I knew right away that the bright girly colors, and images of butterflies, rainbows, mushrooms and, yes, the owls, would capture my happy memories. They brought back memories of riding my banana seat bicycle, watching Little House on the Prairie, collecting Wacky Pack cards, making crafts (loomed potholders, anyone?) and voraciously reading every  Nancy Drew book in existence.

I've got the makings of a great mini-album for some of my best memories. I'm purposely creating the album in a basic way, almost as though I made the album when I was 8. I'm enjoying the process and the memories and am less concerned with technique. This album is all about the feelings it invokes, and I know it's one I'll turn to again and again.

And, hey, if you need a good laugh today, check out my ears and my Carol Brady hairstyle. Oh, my! Share your own childhood pictures and memories here!

Best,
