My fellow New Hampshire blogger, Steve Loynd, recently posted childhood photos of himself ranging from "highchair to high school" and he posted a challenge asking other Active Rain members to share their childhood photos. I hereby accept Steve's challenge.
New Hampshire home stager: The early years.

I've always had an eye for furniture placement!

Selecting the right accessories for the perfect tablescape, and the secret to holiday staging:


Organizing closets and rearranging furniture has always brought a smile to my face.

Of course, the "T" stands for "TRANSFORMATIONS"







Great pictures it is good to go down memory lane once in awhile-I think I will get out the old photo's and remember the memories. Thanks for sharing.
Pat: It was fun going through the pictures. If you do take out your photos, you should consider accepting Steve's challenge and share them!
Very well organized and with humor no less, great post, love the red vynl kitchen chairs
Gerry: Thanks! I wish I had that little kitchen set today for my grandchildren!
Sharon - You are too cute and always ready for a challenge. Looks like you lost the cowlick from the earlier years. I am still fighting one. LOL
Well I certainly think it shows that you found your calling in life Sharon. I just love the little bonnet one next to the rocker. And I hope you still have that chair.
Sharon, Thanks for taking the Challenge...I see the progression with furniture arrangements and color schemes, you were a cute Baby, and your smile got brighter through the years...Cheers: Steve
Judy: Actually, I think my mother styled my hair that way! LoL!
Tammy: I don't still have the rocker, but I sure wish I did!
Steve: The man who inspired this post! Thanks, it was so much fun. I hope others take you up on the idea!
I would be happy to post pictures of my young self, but I don't want anyone to die of a heart attack. LOL
Hi Sharon ~ Oh what fun! I just love the picture of you and the little table and chairs set and the picture of you with the aluminum tree is too cute for words.
Liz
Great fun, Sharon! You're a good sport - Clearly, you were born to be a stager!
Debi
Love these pictures! Do you think staging was in your blood or what? What a fun idea!
Hi Sharon, Everything has a beginning and it is quite clear from your earlier photos that your career was showing itself to you very early on and thankfully you recognized it.
Cute as a button grew up to be as gorgeous as the whole outfit!
Russel: Don't be ridiculous! We would love to see pictures of you! Please reconsider.
Liz: Thanks, I appreciate your enthusiasm!
Debi: Thanks! It was fun and I enjoyed doing it!
Sheila: I really did enjoy organizing as a child. I would talk my friends into organizing closets and cleaning house instead of playing outside. Looking back now, I bet that's why their mothers liked me!
William: I recognized it, but I didn't know what to do with it until a few years ago. I'm happiest when I am working!
Will: How sweet! That is one of the sweetest things said to me in a long time! Thank you!
Oh my Sharon, you look exactly the same in the last photo...now how do you do it?
I hope every one hovered on the photos, if not you are missing something special!!!
Are you a long lost twin of mine? I swear that in the little red chair at the table it could be me! How fun is this??! I guess I'll have to look at my photos & pull some out. Sounds fun. Yours are very cute and I like your stager-in-the-making theme.
Cynthia: I want to smoke whatever you are smoking! Thanks for always hovering!
Pangaea: There is only one way to know if we are long lost twins...I'll have to see your photos! I challenge you to a pictorial of your own!
Sharon - I enjoyed your photo journey & comments. I'm onboard with the red table & aluminum tree being oh-so-cute too!
Susan: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my journey!
My table had a circus motif painted on it ... does yours? Very cute Sharon!
Cute pictures; good post! Great "challenge!" WHERE do you keep all those pictures? I'm sure you have some clever storage solution!
Awww, cmon, Russel!!
Very nice presentation Sharon (and a nice chuckle too).
Sharon ~ Here is something to add. I don't have many photo's, but I have many old friends on Facebook and I am going to ask them to bring out the old baby's. I will submit what I have and then see what craziness comes next.
Sharon - Whos the cute kid? :-) Nicely done.
Janice: No the table is just plain red. My bedroom floor had fairy tale characters on it though!
Leslie: Thanks! No "clever storage solution" at all. I have them scanned into my computer. We moved my aunt into a nursing home two years ago, and when we emptied her apartment I found a bunch of my baby pictures. It was a priceless gift. Any photos of baby Leslie to share?
Peggy: That's me...all about the presentation, lol! Thanks!
Monique: Facebook is a great place to share the photos. My blog posts are automatically placed on Facebook so I'm covered there too!
John: Thank you! How about baby John, no picture to share?
Beautiful pictures Sharon! You can easily tell you were meant to be a stager from early on!
Debra: Thanks, but where are your pics? Care to share baby Debra with the group?
