Girly Girl

I am working on an album of my older sister, Keri.  There aren't many photos of her from when she was young because they were all lost in a fire.  Somehow how she managed to look like a "Girly Girl" in every photo we have (pics of me look like all I did was make mud pies).  "Girly Girl" also worked perfectly for the title because "Girly" is how her nickname "Gerdie" got started.  In my family EVERYONE, family or not, has a nickname.  For the record, mine is Phooey.  Keri's started as "Daddy's Little Girly".  When she would try to say "Girly" it came out "Gerdie".  Today she is called, Gerdie, Gertrude, Trude and many, many more.  I think she has the most nicknames out of anyone in the family (and some are quite hilarious).   

The layout was based on the Thursday Sketch from the Pages In Time blog.  Check it out to see what everyone else has done for the sketch.
