Now, I have a dilemma. I am actually intimidated by the significance of the day and not sure at the moment how I will scrapbook these images. I have yet to scrapbook Obama's Rally in Leesburg Virginia. I think it is kind of like my wedding photos that I have not scrapbooked. I THINK that I want to create a Obama album but that seems like a BIG task -- so I am not sure what I will do. I have also collected a lot of memorabilia and need to include it in the album. I would appreciate any suggestions.
As always thanks for stopping by and HUGS to ya,

WOW, I am so happy for you. What an amazing moment in our history, lifetime to witness first hand. I think for the first time in a very long time, our country felt a sense of pride and hope. I know for me it was a day I don't ever want to forget and to be able to watch the swearing in with Demi was priceless. I missed you and am glad you had a great trip to Hawaii but next time I need to go with ya. So are you back to school today?? Have a great day and we will talk soon. Diana
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! I have tears in my eyes and envy in my heart ;) I am SO JEALOUS! How lucky were you and your family!!!! Your photographs are breathtaking!!! I am going to add you to my watch list.... I have to show your blog to my hubby later!

WOW. amazing. absolutely amazing.
I have chills just knowing that you were there and looking at your pictures. how totally thrilling. I had a discussion with a student today about the historical significance of yesterday. he claims to be an enthusiast of history but could not see how yesterday had much meaning beyond getting another president. I could not agree with him, I think it's totally freakin awesome and I'm so glad that I got to watch it live, I can not image just how awesome it would have been to be there. you have to scrap it. you really have to. but I understand not being able to decide how to do something because I've been doing the same with our election pictures! it's so overwhelming emotionally, maybe journal about the experience and just go with your thoughts to help you get this part of your personal history out. okay, geez, didn't mean to write a book...just so excited that you went.
I envy your being able to be there and see it all firsthand, My DH and I wept with joy as we watched it on television. We truly never thought that we would see this happen in our lifetimes. My son who is a history teacher was so thrilled also but he too said some of his students did not seem to appreciate the significance of the occasion. But, as I was thinking about it later, isn't that what we have been hoping for a long time, that race and sex are no longer issues in the hiring or electing of individuals? Again, I envy your being there, and regarding the scrapping, what about an album just devoted to the election and inauguration - or maybe two, one for each of your sons.
wow, great photos!
So great to see my flag in your blog (BRASIL) and we also share the same hobby (SCRAP)
I love the way you scrap, your work is beautiful.
Very lucky of you to be there that day. GO OBAMA!
