I started to go through the top shelf in my crowded closet. Quel Mess!!!
I opened two boxes full of all kinds of papers. . . childhood artwork, as well as some Brothers Grimm-like stories (with illustrations, of course) by my sister, hilarious vocabulary essays written by my brother, some rhymes and poetry I had penned sometime under ten & a couple of cards my dad had given my mom.
I laid everything out in organized piles and smiled as I read each page. It all came from a worn folder that held baptism certificates, newspaper clippings from a victorious gingerbread house contest, negatives from pictures I can't find. . . Things that belonged to a different life, a different time, a different place. . .
How did I get all this stuff? This is mom stuff . . .
And how did all this end up in a plastic storage bin, stashed with miscellaneous pictures, old receipts, bank statements and programs from our wedding? (Am I that disorganized?)
At any rate, Its been a walk down memory lane & I am sure that this stuff will make the rounds to each appropriate owner ;)
