Hello SuzyQ Scraps fans! Hope everyone’s enjoying the weekend! In the States, it’s a holiday weekend. Memorial Day is usually the weekend when summer “officially” starts. School’s out, or close to being out, pools are open, campgrounds open, grills turned on, etc…it’s a big weekend! Memorial Day is also the day when we remember & give recognition to those who serve our country. Parades are held & cemeteries are filled with beautiful flowers.
I’ve been lucky to have been surrounded by family growing up. Every Memorial Day weekend, we’d meet up at my grandparents house & then travel to all the different cemeteries where our loved ones were laid to rest. My twin sister & I would volunteer to be the “flower girls”. We’d hold the flowers & then place them next to the headstones. It was something I looked forward to every year. Afterwards, we’d head back to my grandparents house & have a big family BBQ! I still remember those weekends like they were yesterday.
Now that I’m married, our family traditions have changed slightly but we still look forward to this weekend. What are some of your traditions for Memorial Day? What are your plans? Whatever they are, remember to scrap them! SuzyQ Scraps has some great kits to go along with whatever you’re planning on doing. Here’s a few I found while looking through her store. Headed to the park? Here’s “Going Green”, a collab with Amanda Heimann.
Are you going to be outside all day? Maybe swimming? ”Sunshine” is perfect!
Many families like to head to the mountains or nearest campground to camp! ”Roughin’ It” would go great with all those muddy pictures.
Maybe you’re going on a road trip? We used to drive 5 hours to visit my mom’s family. The long trips make for some great car pictures! ”Vroom Zoom Chugga Choo” could help you scrap them.
I’m enjoying this weekend being with my family! Hope you have a great weekend as well & I can’t wait to see SuzyQ Scrap’s gallery filled with all the weekend events.
