Scanning Update

A corner of my room circa 1982
So I realized the other day while looking for older Tulip Time pictures, that I have been doing so much scanning for other people that I hadn't scanned my old photos.  Now I don't have THAT many.  My personal pictures start about the time I was in middle school and received my own camera.  (And a lot of those photos are really not that great.)  But now that I have the Flip Scanner, I can go through them pretty fast.  So that is what I have started to do!  I'm just going to scan, crop and dump into the correct years folder and deal with them later (probably).

This picture shows the turtle I made in shop (which I don't remember doing), the pot I painted (and don't remember) and the dolls I collected (and still have) which are sitting in an old shelf which I wonder where it went!

Tulip Time 1987

This is one of my favorite Tulip Time pictures!  I have been putting together a simple album featuring the yearly Tulip Time picture with the nieces & nephews.  This is one of the earliest ones I have right now but I hadn't looked at them in years!  This picture was taken during my very first year dancing during the yearly Tulip Time Festival.  My (future) sister-in-law is on the far end and my sister standing next to her are also dancers.  This would have been their last year dancing since they were both seniors.  My oldest sister is wearing her costume as well but might have been in the alumni dancers.  I am in the center holding my oldest niece.  She was about 18 months old at the time.  My mother made all the adult costumes.  I am not sure if it was my sister or my mom who made the little dress which was made to match my sister's costume.
