What Happens When You Don't Exercise



AFTER

Here's a picture of me at the gym the other day.  Just joking.  I don't do gym.  But I do need all the preservatives I can get.

The challenge at Less is More this week is to make a one layer card on the theme of sport or exercise.  Image and sentiment are both from Stampassions (long discontinued, I think).

BEFORE

Yesterday, we were posting anniversary cards to Darnell and Mister, and we should have also been posting our own wedding pictures onto Ardyth's blog.  Conveniently, mine were tucked away in the attic, but in the spirit of sharing, I decided to dig them out.  Ardyth's tip of taking a digital photo of your wedding pictures works a treat, especially if they're stuck into an old-fashioned wedding album, as mine are.

So here's a before picture from 23 May 1975.  I haven't looked through the album for years and years, so it was lovely to leaf through the pictures.  Except the one where the photographer must have been having a sly joke.  A group shot of the two of us, flanked by our parents, ranging from 6'4" (my dad) down to about 5'2" (his dad), ordered coincidentally in decreasing height.  You'll not be seeing that one!

  5. Great card and wedding photo! Funny how you can pick out the 70s weddings so easily (80s as well, actually!) I'm so glad you linked it up - it's great fun getting to know everyone a bit better!

  10. Now, see, if that card were drawn using my physique, everything would look ezakly identical, except those quote marks would not be up at the fingers, they would be down by the upper arms where I now have flaps, like an airplane. They come in pretty handy!

    Thank you so much for coming back and linking your awesome wedding photo, Shirley. You both looked so sweet and so happy and so young! I am swooning over that corsage of yours! You're a ton of fun!!
