It was taken at a Wrigley Field Cubs game in 1969. My father, brother and I sitting in left field seats, pause to look at a stranger holding my dad's camera. But notice in the middle of the background, a young father in red and white stripes holds his toddler and stares right at my cameraman and smiles! His also smiling wife sits beside him holding a younger baby! This happy father knew a photo was being taken and chose to become a part of it. Who is he??? Will we ever know??

Hi Vickie - wishing you and yours a joyous holiday season and an awesome 2010!!!
Woo-hoo!
9/12/2009 3:03:35 PM - 000085599530
Hey Vickie...
To use simple path you have to go to "My Pictures" and make and album and share it. After you share it look to the right hand side of the page and it will show you a book completed. Look at it and see what simple path already done for you. After viewing the book you it will ask if you want to customize it. Click on that and it will show you all of the "styles" you can change your book too. After that I know once you play with it you will get it. It is a very simple version of "custom book" what we are used to using. I hope that helps....:)
7/6/2009 9:42:44 PM - 000085599530
Hope is all well with you this summer so far.
5/2/2009 9:53:19 PM - 001076975951

3/28/2009 3:28:48 AM - 000074469281
Hey Vickie! Thank you so much for your nice message. I was with my family today, sharing stories of my Uncle - he has been through so much. I showed everyone my books and if they can gather enough photos, I hope to make a book of memories of my ?Uncle. I love the baptism photo too! I felt your virtual hug! Thank yu so much for your support! Joey
3/25/2009 11:53:42 PM - 000093706714
Hey Vicki..hmmm - all the tabs are back now. Maybe it was just a fluke during my last visit. Julia Belle's jewelry is beautiful btw. Very unique. I will visit again soon...take care. Sending good wishes your way.
3/25/2009 2:11:26 AM - 001011547222
Cheri, it's still showing for me. I have it on the My Restorations tab. Hmmm...
3/24/2009 11:11:35 PM - 000093706714
Just stopping in to say hi. Just finished an album and taking a breather b/4 I start working on my site again. BTW...did you delete all the tabs from your site except the home page? (That is all that is showing for me right now.) I was looking forward to seeing your mom's beautiful image again. It is so lovely and remains on my mind.
I will visit again soon. Take care
3/23/2009 6:41:53 PM - 000085599530
So glad to see you active on the Gallery again...and new books too. Thanks!! :)
2/28/2009 1:55:37 PM - 000093706714
Hi Vicki...site hopping and found your little jewel of a site. Love it. The header photos are outstanding, however I REALLY enjoyed your story 'Take a Giant Step in Time'. Wonderful points and will have me looking at all things in the backgrounds in a new way. Off to view more.........
2/21/2009 2:33:36 AM - 001031312785

Hi Vickie,
Just stopping by to say hi and to thank you for being such an important part of the Gallery Guru team. You are GREAT! And I can't wait to see what you all are going to wear for Halloween 2008. Any exciting costume plans?
10/9/2008 5:16:26 PM - 000074469281
You have such a fun site Vickie. So much to see and read. Love visiting. Somedays the time goes too fast and I can't make it to the sites. Thank you so much for the kind comments on my site. Your headers are always great. I did actually take the flower pictures on my site. I was trying to see how they'd turn out. How's the new computer working? Faster makes such a difference! Hope all is well. Joey

Hey Vickie! Just dropping in to say hi. Love your fun header photos. Fall is in the air - although it has been humid in my area. I also love the vintage jewerly. I meant to comment on it before. Your daughter is very talented - just like her mother. Hope all is well on your end. Have a good weekend. Joey

Rachel, thank you for your compliment on the jewelry! They are my oldest daughter, Amy's pieces. Totally beautiful in person. She has an Etsy shop up in my favorites links, Julia Belle Vintage. Have a look!

Hi Vickie,
Just popping in to say hello. Just noticed the vintage jewelry images. Those are incredible pieces. Are these yours? Or are you a fan? Love these!

Hello Vickie!
Your header photos are getting me excited about fall! I think it is the best picture taking time of the year! Halloween, fall festivals, pumpkin farm trips..ect.... :)

Hi Vickie,
I always love coming to your site. And I am so sad about Mister Rogers being taken off the air!

Welcome back Vickie. I'm sure life has been a bit crazy with getting ready for school. Exciting busy time. Fall is for sure in the air. I love the coolness in the morning. I can do without the long winter months. Our weather was hot, windy and humid then cooled off like 40 degrees. I just saw your Fred Rogers page and the link. I checked my daily TV line-up, and he isn't on in my area either. How sad. i grew up with him as so many others did. Kids these days NEED him. I can't believe all the crap on TV. What happened to the good 'ol days where TV for kids was wholesome and educational.
By the way, cute header photos

Hey Vickie,
Just checking in and saying hi. Trying to make my rounds in the sites. I've seen a few of the books you've featured (or suggested to Rachel) on the home page. They are great. The Gallery is a hopping. I suppose things in your household have been busy with school starting.
Take care, Joey

Thank you Vickie again for your advice and help on my wedding book. I uploaded my originals to Shutterfly and my be reworking the book with those and get rid of the other ones I tried to fix. I have Photoshop and did know it. My husband got it from work awhile ago and put it on my lap top and I didnt even know. Thank for the kind words of the pictures of me...you are too sweet. Ann

Hey V~
Thank you for the nice comments on Baby Trinity's book. I made the book to see what the 5x7 size was all about. The book was fun to do, no pressure because I already had her baby book done.
(ps. She is named Trinity after her great grandma named Trinidad)
Ann....;)

Joanna,
Thank you so much for going to Simon's website. He is so, so tiny and needs all the prayers he can get!
I know his mom will appreciate your kind thoughts.
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Cheryl. It is so amazing what can be done for the earliest of preemies these days. I also had a premature baby, but back in 1980!. He was born at 34 weeks and had breathing issues but did not have as large of a battle as little Simon is facing. But today, Simon is in good hands. In 1980, little Simon would not have had the skilled care that is available now. They just know so much more about bringing these littles ones safely through this traumatic stage than they did back then.
P.S. I'd love to see photos of little Brandon if you have them! He is truly a miracle!
8/11/2008 3:37:09 PM - 000074469281
Vickie,
I'm so sorry to hear about little Simon. I saw the website and that song makes me cry with the images of Simon. I'll pray for him.

Oh I love old photos! I, also, noticed the photo of the your friends precious little one. I will say a prayer. I have watched the miracle of medical technology first hand with the birth of my niece and nephew who were born at 26 weeks. They were so tiny and looked so plastic. Little Brandon was 1 lb. 14 oz and his sister, Rhiannon, was 1 lb. 12 ozs. Sadly, my niece only lived five days. However, my nephew will be 5 in January. What a precious miracle. His eye sight is perfect, and will eventually catch up to other kids his age. He has no long term affects of his premature birth, with exception to the possibility of ADHD. He has a very short attention span. It is such a scary time having no idea what to expect from day to day. My many thoughts and prayers will be with the family. I am off to hop a few more sites before bed. Very nice site!
8/10/2008 7:35:41 PM - 000085599530
Much love and blessing to little Simon. ;) The vintage jewerly is so cool. Perfect photo opp for you!

Cynthia,
I can't wait to see your mother in law's book! Your restored photos will be such an asset to her book. I've even used the before and after pictures side by side in my own books and people that have seen my books in person, have commented how cool they think those pages are.
Good luck with yours and send me a link as soon as you get it posted!
8/10/2008 12:54:54 PM - 000064383827
I love your site! I'm currently working on a photo book for my mother in law for her 80th birthday. I have had several wonderful but damaged photos that I've had to attempt to digitally restore and when it's finished it is so rewarding. I love to look at the before and afters..you have amazing restorations. It gives me inspiration to continue even when I think it can't be done!
8/4/2008 1:35:41 PM - 001088456594
Your site is so clever and professional looking. I love the photos you chose. It's a real inspiration.

Claire, adding a section for Video is really easy. Just click the Add a Section box and choose Video, then you will be able to copy/paste the codes right from where you have them uploaded. Voila! Instantly they appear!

Hi Vickie ...
What an awesome site you have! It really is eye-catching ... and I have just read that you have 6 kids? You are very brave ... perhaps a share site dedicated to parenting might be an idea? ;) I am very impressed with your addition of videos. How did you do that? I can't seem to get it right on my site ... do you have any advice for me?
I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Take care.
8/3/2008 6:46:26 PM - 001011547222
Yes, Joanna. I do have six kids. I promise you will meet them via Shutterfly books as soon as possible. Sage is my only little one though. Since she was born in the digital age, it has been so easy to document her sweet milestones in "real time."
I just finished a 12x12 book that is mostly a photo album with very little journaling. It is a new version of Slides and Snaps which includes many newly scanned vintage snapshots. It is my segue into completing books on my own kids because I've ended it with a hint of the next generation to come by focusing on my firstborn child, Amy. I gave her a dedicated page to end the book.
I've been going way back into past generations to get up to date before digging into my current family. I will have to scan everything to do books on them and I am also having difficulty scanning modern color photos. I get a lot of banding or striations of color that are distracting. I'm thinking I need a computer and scanner upgrade to fix the problem before proceeding otherwise I would have been on this already! Wish me luck in figuring out my scanning issues!

Hey Vickie - checked out your site & pics. Love it all. You've got the cutest, smartest little girl...I bet you knew that! Love all your old and new pictures. I haven't got as far as a lot of others doing the site etc - I will have to get to it - everyone is so inspiring.
8/3/2008 2:14:15 PM - 001043414385
I love this site, looking at the old photos and your comments how never overlook the magic around us. It is so true. Great site!
8/3/2008 1:51:30 PM - 000074469281
Hello Vickie,
Thank you so much for the nice comment on my site and for the nice comment on my bday book; which i was really hesitant to post. I think you are so brilliant with your site and adding videos etc. I have a lot more i'm trying to figure out as welll. Like posting the actual photobooks. You need to add a widget to them to somehow embed the photobook. Tiffany (bradeydensmom) is really good at this. I tried yesterday but i can't figure it out. As far as posting peoples web pages or book link, you click on 'add bookmark', then go to type in your web address for an example, then the title in the line below would be whatever you name it. Then to add one of your books or others, just highlight the URL link and click on copy then go to your website, click on bookmark (you may want to title this bookmark Photobbooks; or what you wish), then you paste your URL link in the link box and add a title and this is what will show up. It is a lot of copying and pasting. I hope this wasn't too confusing. Tiffany and Rachel are good people to ask. I'm still learning.
It's so fun to see pictures of your world. Can't wait to see more of your kids. Sage is VERY smart for 4. Her little voice melts me. Didn't you say you have 6 kids? Enjoy your Sunday!
8/2/2008 6:02:26 PM - 000074469281
Vickie, I love your site. You are so talented. Everyone will be asking you for help. I love what you wrote in your welcome message. You have a gift of story telling. I am so inspired by you and ALL of your work. I just watched all of Sage's video's. LOVE LOVE them and what a doll she is. She just melted my heart. Isn't it amazing how children can retain so much information. She's a smart little one, must take after her creative mommy. How old is she? Can i add you website to my page (thats basically all I got figured out so far!) my site is joeyssite.site.shutterfly.com
Its really blah but hopefully it will get better.
I'm glad i saw your site. So cool!
