Time Flies




I finished 2 more layouts for Megan's twirling albums.  I like taking a current photo and adding an older photo on the layout.  I feel like I'm getting more photos scrapped and into albums.  I also like to look at the difference in 10 years of time.  The top layout is of Megan and Jessica. They have been twirling friends, duet partners and even competitors through the years.  I always felt like Jessica made Megan a better twirler and vice versa.  They are still great twirlers, but when they were younger they were amazing.  There is a picture of them in costumes at a competition in Memphis in 2002 and then another one almost 10 years later as UT Majorettes.  The University of Tennessee Majorette Camp is held every summer and the current UT Majorettes teach twirlers from all over the United States.  The second lavout is of Megan's first day of camp as a UT Majorette in 2009.  Megan took baton lessons from Kathy McCarrell Smith as many girls have over the years.  One of her former students presented Kathy with a t-shirt quilt and a photo album.  It has twirling t-shirts that Kathy's girls had gotten through the years.  I found a picture with Megan (age 8) with Kathy from 1999 that was taken after an event Kathy once put on for her students each year.  It was called "Majorette Day" and Megan won a big trophy for "Miss Rising Star". Megan wanted her picture taken with Kathy and her awards.  A t-shirt like the one Megan has on in the picture is in the quilt.  It is amazing how fast time flies, and that's why it's important to tell the story!
