This is a photo that was taken of my mom on the day of her confirmation - April 13, 1930. She really had lovely curly hair - not at all suited for a 1920's era bob. She was actually quite pretty and very tall for her generation - 5 feet 9 inches - but at the age of thirteen appears a bit awkward and unsure of herself.
I have included her confirmation certificate and the front cover of the lovely booklet it was in. Most of this LO was made with items from the Scraps of Elegance August Summer Haven kit.

Very beautiful. It is so neat that you have her certificate.

Love that you have the certificate; I have a photo of my mom on her first communion day that I've been wanting to scrap, but haven't found paper that grabbed me for it yet! Funny-Apr 13th was my mom's bday, although she wasn't born til 1933, and she was also 5'9", which WAS tall back then-she said dances were difficult because so many of the men were shorter than she was, and she liked to wear heels! LOL. Your LO is sweet and lovely, just like your mom's photo.

Wow, you even have the confirmation certificate! She was not at all awkward. Another lovely layout and I like the Christmas cards too. Have a beautiful Sunday. We have the window open here in WV!

I can relate to your Mom being so tall and feeling awkward about it. I was always the tallest person in school. At 5'10" I'm still usually the tallest female. I outgrew my 4'11" mom when I was in the 4th grade. It's a gorgeous page. I love the little light fixture to the side. Including her confirmation certificate and the book cover really makes this page special.
