APRIL came and went so FAST because it was sooo BUSY

At Sierra's High School there is a tradition that we have been looking forward to since her first Jam (Just after Prom activities to keep kids busy and safe) The SENIORS have family members create a poster for them to show off at JAM. We started talking and planning Sierra's sometime after her Sophomore year and each Jam re-visited our idea. So NOW was the time to actually put our plans into action. I was to make a LIFE GAME poster for Sierra's Senior poster. I procrastinated getting my pictures in and was not happy to find out the format I used last time I had to shrink photos had changed so many were to small to use. I had to RE - DO most of them. Thank goodness I gave myself 2 weeks for photos. So Doug created a template for the game and I covered his path with colored paper. Then I started adding pictures to tell the story of her life. Well I HAD MORE PICTURES THAN I HAD SPACE so I kept downsizing! After 2 days of re-arranging pictures. I started actually permanently attaching the pictures I had chosen. I stayed up really late to finish because I was afraid if I didn't finish I would never be able to remember how I wanted it. Then the next day I added stickers and comments and called it done. Doug took it to be lamenated! Here it is.
