The gorgeous Ms. Kate Gene's posted this on her recent blog and tagged all of her following readers!
** Retro Tag! **
1. Post a picture from your childhood (less than 13 yrs old).
2. Write about the picture.
3. Tag your friends and readers.
I actually found a few photos that brought back some really good memories:
Apple orchards - a Fall standard in Michigan. The apple trees in this orchard were so low to the ground! This is right before we ran into a huge dog that freaked me out. (I'm in the pink & older sis is in blue!)
My older sis & I having a blast in the kiddie pool! I love how we are rocking "side-tie" string bikinis!!! The nice thing about Michigan was the change of seasons.
I always LOVED "Art Castle" - a pottery painting place back in MI - always had a creative side! This particular visit was for my b-day party! I painted a silver cat on a pink pillow and followed with a glitter gloss coating. Things really don't change that much lol!
Sometimes I really miss being a kid - life was so worry-free, not a care in the world!

I was so surprised to see a random & unexpected package on my doorstep today! My Houston friend Le-Minh had sent me a very special love package from out of the blue! She claims it is a much belated b-day present (at this rate, it is more of an early b-day present than a belated one lol) but it was so sweet & thoughtful!!!
I love all the pink stuffing! Easter came early this year ;)
My heart melted when I saw the card (and even more when I read message inside!)
Adorable magnets!
I'm actually kind of obsessed with stickers. These are super kawaii!
Sweet, girly half-apron!
I am so excited for our girls trip in April -- Girly movies, Spa trip, Skiing, Hot Springs & pigging out are on the itinerary so far...

Another warm hello to Molly Tamale (love the name!!)

awww thanx luv <3 will try try to get to it soon
I love the cute as a button magnet and the kawaii pop up stickers!
Did you add on any effect to your childhood photos? I love the colour contrast of them. A little of a lomo feel!
You look so cute in that pink goodie, aha. So small! Thanks for the tag :D Those magnets & stickers are so cute! & of course the Hello Kitty card!
{*AwwWw} You look so adorable in your pink coat.
I remember those kiddie pools!! It was just a big bathtub but the water level in those kiddie pools were usually always lower than in a tub. Can't really swim in those kiddie pools. I don't know why I thought they were so much fun back then. Maybe it's because you get to take a bath [with a swim suit] outside [?].
The stickies and magnets are too cute. I love those bubble stickers. Funny thing is whenever I buy stickers, I like them so much that I usually never use them.
Oh and thanks for the award! =]
<3
What a cute idea!

I have a little award for you on my blog.

Hey Irene~!
Thanks for the lovely comment! You may find Laneige's water sleeping pack on Facial-Shop.com too ^_^ I think there is one left. They have free shipping! :D
Good Luck!

@Samantha - Thank YOU for all the inspiration - I love your videos & tutorials and your fun attitude!
@Khristine - My Hot Mama! So amazed at how you take care of a whole family and still look so amazing!
@Yumi - Thank you so much! :) Although we cannot go back in time, at least we can remain young at heart!
@LittleMokaa - Thanks & Thanks (hehe) for the tip on the Laniege water pack. I am really looking forward to using it though I might wait until Sasa restocks the Dolly Wink so I can save on shipping ;)
@FortheFierce - love your don't-mess-with-me confident attitude! I could use a page from your handbook every now and then ;)
@Jo - Thank you dear! No photoshop effects - just old pics lol!
@Susie - Thank you for all your awesome makeup inspirations & your fun
@Serena - You are always so sweet! And you are so like me - I had a sticker collection which I would refuse to actually 'use' -- now I feel a little more liberated and stick them on everything though lol!
@Jessica Mai - Thank you so much for the tag!!! :D I am in LOVE with your sense of humor - so spunky & fun!
@Rachel - You are so incredibly SWEET! Thanks for the tag! Keep on with your jewelry, it is gorgeous!
Fun tag! Definitely a nostalgic feel to it. Also diggin' the cute stickers-- I probably wouldn't want to use 'em, for fear of running out. lol

@Diana - I am going to have a hard time using them, but I will convince myself that it is necessary!!!

Thank you so, so, so much for including me on your list. That means a lot to me. :) BTW, I love that you did the retro tag! How cute are your pictures? You and your sister were bathing suit models in the making! LOL!
