Fourth of July
Family Fun by Jean Marmo |
|
Fourth of July is a special time at out cottage in northern Michigan. My sisters and their families come to the lake for a day of food, fun and fireworks. We always go to the library book sale and spend time fishing. In between there is always time for the annual photo shoot. This photo highlights me, my sisters and our husbands.

Scrapbooking has changed dramatically since I completed the first album for my daughter in 1993. My children are now grown (19 and 24) but I continue to scrap for them as much as possible. I love trying new techniques and using non- traditional materials.
