Where I'm From is in my Heart

I couldn't say where I'm from anymore - after traveling all over the place while Rich was active duty AF, my heart is in many places, so I just took a pic of my bookself which says it all. It isn't a fancy layout at all but it's me.

 

Journaling says:There’s a little tiny piece of where I’m from on this bookshelf and each piece is a treasure to me.

Hanging on the right of the shelf is a Turkish Flag from our years living in Turkey and my very favorite AF assignment;

my German Nutcrackers,my little Turkish Dolls, my family photos, my NC pinecomes, and books about every place I’ve ever lived.

THIS is whereI ’m from - and it's all right here in front of me everyday!

 

My hearts and background are from Angie Briggs!

Sara, I think this is wonderful. Lovely journaling from the heart and a great photo. I also found it quite intersting reading about the places that you love.

What a wonderful page. Your idea to photograph the bookshelf for this is inspired. Love the journaling and its placement and those hearts are just the right touch.

Such a neat LO! Your journaling is really interesting, and the stitched hearts across the bottom make it feel homy. (Is that a word? LOL.) What a nice display to have in your home!

What a terrific idea Sara. I have the same type of bookcase filled with objects that have great stories attached to them. I never thought about photographing the collection. I need to do that before I forget the story!!!! Thanks for the inspiration. Great LO.

Love it Sara. I used to feel sorry for people who were stationed in a beautiful place and never leave the barracks. I was more like you. I felt at home where ever I was stationed.

What a wonderful collection,and great documentation. We see things that others treasure, but having the story behind the sentiment makes them priceless. Well done!

This is outstanding! How wonderful that you were able to keep all these treasures. I love the stories, too. I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of this; it's a real treasure.

This is perfect! I love how you have this displayed. I was just thinking how long I've lived in one area....total of 38 yrs and 1 yr in Oklahoma.
