It was 1970 something....


Last March (2007) I was walking along in San Antonio, Texas and snapped a picture of 1977 etched in the stone walkway. I was married in 1977 and this December will be my 30th anniversary. How cool is that?? My mind is already thinking of how I can use this photo in my digital scrapping.


Yesterday I made a bookmark for Week One: Celebrating Your Uniqueness at Scrapbookgraphics. I used a background paper by ON Designs and brushes that Michelle Godin shared for the week one quirky challenge. There is my photo blended into the upper corner and I listed popular movies from 1977. Some other popular movies from 1977 are:
      • Rocky
      • Smokey and the Bandit
      • A Star is Born
      • King Kong
      • The Deep
      • Silver Streak
      • The Enforcer
      • Colse Encounters of the Third Kind
      • In Search of Noah's Ark

What fun! What does it say about our generation that Laverne and Shirley was the most popular TV show? LOL
