Memories of Childhood


So how many times do you see something that reminds you of your childhood? For me it was when I saw this stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms, which I couldn't wait to get. We had gorgeous poppies in our garden as a child. They were redder than these, but oh the memory of growing them, picking them and shaking the seeds out into an envelope for the next year was fun!
I can't believe how vividly the memories came back with the poppies.
Blush card stock brushed with banana and pumpkin ink. The flowers are stamped with stazon-black. I used daubers with banana and ruby red ink around the edges. I used the Cuttlebug for the bg and eyelets. The image is watercolored with my WWC and aqua painter.
This made me wonder how many memories God has put into my mind that I've never associated with Him nor gave Him credit for. How patient is the God we serve. I am in awe of how much He love me. Enough to die for me, and I can't fathom that, can you?
Here are my poppies:
