~ Friday Flashback ~ 2004 ~

Looking through a box of photos, I concluded it was approx 2004 when I got behind & started putting my pics in boxes under the bed instead of albums & scrapbooks. Completely overwhelmed with all of the developed & undeveloped pictures, Cd's, SD cards, phone pics, etc..I'm determined to tackle this & get it under control this year. I started with the year 2004 since that is where my albums & scrapbooks left off. 

So, here's some TREASURES I found in a box under my bed & a peek into "My LITTLE BUBBLE" the year 2004.......
