Why I hate Maraschino Cherries

For a Quizapalooza class at Big Picture Classes.  I only did one layout for this class. I was on vacation and sick. 

Using a PageMaps sketch and done with Teresa Collins - Hello My Name Is...

When I was five (living in France) I got lost with the little boy in the picture with me. The nice people who found us took us to a place where they could call our dads. They fed us maraschino cherries and because of the stress plus eating too many cherries, I got sick on them and haven't been able to eat them since.

Treasure Album - MVP Award

I am NOT athletically inclined but I played particularly well during this one softball tournament weekend to win the female most-valuable-player award in 1981. This is the ONLY sports-type award I have ever won. I didn't have any photos of that event so included my ball team photo of that year.

Treasure Album - Tammy Doll

This is doll is a childhood favourite received for Christmas one year from my aunt and uncle (pictured in the small photo).  I found her again in 2002 but naked, so my mom made me the dress she is wearing from her original patterned (shown behind the doll).  I am now a Tammy doll collector because of this doll.

Treasure Album - Retirement Gift Album

When I was still working, there were a group us that would scrapbook together once a month after work in one of the meeting rooms.  This group put together a wonderful scrapbook for me as a retirement gift.  In it are photos of me at the recreational work events.  I received many retirement gifts but this was my absolute favourite one.

The small photo is of me receiving the gift and being embarrassed by one of the photos!
