Photo A Day - January 3rd!

[amelialourdes]

Wow, I'm all early with these. Fab. Tomorrow may not be the same case but I'll post them when I get home.

"Heart"

A photo of me and my mama. This was taken on the trip where my parents traveled from America to the Philippines to take me home to the States. I was 8 months old and my family had been hard at work in the Philippines to make sure I had all the necessary paperwork to send me home with my mom and dad. The adoption and my naturalization papers were ready in November 1985 and my parents booked the first flight to get me in the Philippines. I sure was happy to see my mom, wasn't I? My mother's been a mother in every sense of the word. She accepted me and treated me as her own from the moment she saw me and I've never felt any differently about that. When I think of home and when I think of someone who's always loved me, I think of my mom.

"Things Around My Apartment"

This is where the inspiration for this project came from. I bought these boxes from IKEA because organization is totally my plan in 2013. I need to get my stuff organized. So, I've managed to put a lot of old magazines in these boxes that are lined up against my wall. I'm sure I'll photograph the contents of the boxes soon enough but these are all stacked against my wall for now until I figure out what to do with them.

Those boxes are lovely. I need to get organised this year too. But ugh, it's so boring.

Haha, I'm with you there and I am so lazy. Sigh.

Oh, that photo is so sweet! Look at you!

And yes, I am on an organization kick, too. I definitely have a magazine problem.

Hee, I looked REALLY happy to see them in their first photos of me. Just meant to be.

Right? I can never get rid of magazines. I'm pretty sure I still have every magazine I've ever owned.

Aw, that is a great pic of you and your mom!

Thank you, bb! I love it, too. It's actually in a frame so I just took the photo of it in the frame.

Wow, love love love that pic of you and your mom. You both look so happy! And lovely story to go along with it. *huggles*

I'm pretty organized anyway -- I really bought into the Clean Sweep idea when that show was on and I've stuck with it -- but I'm trying to organize the little things right now. Just got a bunch of index cards to organize all my downloaded movies. Erm. It's okay to say 'downloaded movies', right? Hey, maybe that should be my photo for tomorrow. :D

Thank you, thank you! I'm glad that we're both still that smiley together. I look at it and I can see how happy she was. That's all I want for her.

Totally okay to say that! Haha. I'd love to see those index cards. I'm always interested in how other people organize. I need to figure out a good system for file names on my computer. :|
