Mugs - Memory Lane

Whenever I went on a trip or to an event, I loved to get a mug or a glass as a souvenir. I figured that is something I would use, that would last and would provide a good memory. Over the years I collected many mugs. In addition to the items people donated and put on the container, my brother sent a bunch of my mugs from home. It is so fun to see them transported from the US to my kitchen in Tanzania. Here are a few of them...


(From Kenya - First trip to Africa)


(From the first Starbucks on a road trip to Washington with my friends, Sara, Traci and Becca)


(From Vegas - seeing the Beatles show "Love" with my friend, Angie)


(Also from Vegas - seeing Celine Dion with my friend Becca - It was AWESOME!)


(From the Grand Canyon - spur of the moment road trip with Amber and baby Tyler)


(Representing my love of Disneyland)


(From Michigan visiting some pastors with my friend Becca. We were fascinated with the Amish and stalked them!)


(A mug I made on my friend Monica's birthday. Pathetic, but funny! Not my calling.)

Here is the mug then (2007)...


and now...


Times change!

    I LOVE seeing all the pics of Baby Eli, but have to admit, memory lane with the mugs was a lot of fun. Miss all the adventures we used to take.......Canada *sigh* should've just done it! ;)

    Love this post Stace. We have had tons of fun! Things do change and to see that last picture with you, the mug and Eli is so sweet. Your a Mama now, one of the bigest adventures you will ever endure for sure!
    Love you,
