Hey Everyone! The other day I came across one of my high school photo ID cards. Wow! Was I ever really that young, skinny & awkward? Let me start this story by saying and “Griffin/Thompson” eyebrows are big and thick. I literally could put a 1/2″ curler in my Dad’s eyebrows. Imagine this, my mostly bald Father asleep in the recliner during a semi-annual TV church meeting. To keep my quiet, Dad would let me “curl” his hair. I always wanted to put the curlers in his eyebrows. How I got away with “wetting” his eyebrows with a comb & putting in rollers, is beyond me now. I’d only get cussed if I let the cold water run down his neck! I never did get to curl his eyebrows. LOL

I digress. The day I needed to go register for sophomore year, I decided I had to get my eyebrows done. I found someone who could do it and went and had them “done.” The beautician was a “very-thin-one-line” eyebrow person. I didn’t know this. This was a DRA-AA-STIC change for me. Not to mention that the wax was too hot and she burned my skin around my eyebrows. They were glowing red. I’ll let you imagine how lovely that picture turned out. The funniest was when my Mom (Chelle’s grandmother) saw me, she told me I looked like a surprised stink bug! That really boosted my confidence. I was extremely shy back then. Not so much now! LOL

The other day Chelle and I were talking about Back 2 School as a great photo opportunity. If you take the same photo in the same place year after year, you’ll have a visual growth chart. There are lots of details you can capture each year.  Chelle said, “I love how the clothes & hairstyles my daughters choose for their first day show how styles change.” Start a tradition now!

Let me show you what the CT made for us.
