there is this one photo of sarah from when she was born … taken just minutes after she came into this world. and every time she sees this photo … she asks me the same thing. "why did you cook me in a pot?". in fact, she talks about this from time to time … without even seeing the photo. just randomly asking why we cooked her in a pot. last weekend … we were at alyssa's soccer game … and she brought it up again. i told her i was going to go dig out that photo … and scrap it.
first, i had to find the photo. i never did scrap sarah's baby photos … just never got around to those. so i finally found it in an old photo album. but this was a photo from way "back in the day" … when i used to cut my photos into circles and ovals. and that was when you traced your shapes onto your photos using templates … and then cut them out. so apparently i had a great plan in mind … because there was a circle traced onto the famous "cooked in a pot" photo. this was NOT going to work.
luckily … i was always super good about keeping my negatives organized. so i pulled out my negative binders … and found the right year .. and then found "june 1999". and within minutes … i had the negative in hand. i took that negative over to costco (so thankful that one just opened about 4 minutes from my house) … and filled out the form to get a 5×7 printed. took me a while … because i can't even remember the last time i filled out a form. so the lady tells me that it'll be ready the next day. what? i have to wait 24 hours to get one 5×7 print?!?! i think the age of digital has spoiled me … i'm used to getting my pics immediately when i want them. lol! does she not understand i'm in the middle of a scrapbook page? i think she got a sense for my impatience … and told me to give her 2 hours and she'd see if she could get it done. thank you, kind costco photo lady.
this layout was headed in a completely different direction … because suddenly i wanted to make it a baby layout. but really … it's a layout to remember what sarah thinks of this photo. i do have plans to go through my negatives and order copies of all her baby pics (since they ALL have circles and ovals traced on them!) … to go with the baby KOTM that i pre-ordered! so i'll make sure and scrap this photo again.
but for now … it's all about the pot people! and you know what … it really does look like they were cooking her in a pot. lol! really, they were just cleaning her up and making her all pretty! although i do tease her. i tell her we cooked in her EVOO … and that is the reason she is so brown and dark! lol!
