Take a Word Challenge - Making Memories

It's a bit hard to accept that photos of me are now VINTAGE.  This one was taken on my 21st birthday when I was emerging into adulthood (we were late bloomers in those days).  My bouffant hairdo screams the Sixties. I didn't have a line on my face and now my ten year old grandson asks me "what are those pleats in your neck?" Over fifty years ago!  I can't believe it.  My choice of partner was a disaster, my marriage a joke.  There are pluses and minuses but I guess the pluses have won because my three children and four grandchildren are a joy to me.
The background, edge pieces and ferns are from Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics - one of the first digital kits I bought years ago.

    I totally adore this picture and your attitude. I was a disciple of the Sandra Dee pouf!!! How many rollers could I fit on my head! What a fresh innocent time!
    We had fun didn't we!

    I love this wonderful photo of beautiful 21 year old you! Beautifully done, Marie. Sorry I have nothing for this challenge, since I just got back from a long weekend in Illinois indulging in my own nostalgia, visiting places from my childhood. If my trip had been a week earlier, I'd have had lots of fodder for nostalgia, for sure!

    It's so nice to see your 21 year old self, Marie, (you were quite a looker!) and to hear your thoughts on how things might have been. Your grandson's comment reminds me of my own son's, when at least 30 years ago, he asked if I was going to die soon since I had some 'crinkly lines' on my neck. Hee hee.
