TAXI

This is my latest project for The Memory Nest using the following sketch.  By far, the picture on the right of my oldest daughter is one of my favorite photos that I have ever taken.  She was five and having a blast touring Chicago.  We had spent hours at the American Girl Doll store, strolled up and down Michigan Avenue, and were tired.  Her father and I were born and raised in Southwest Ohio.  In other words, we are not big city folks...We needed to hail a taxi to get back to our hotel and neither of us were exactly sure of taxi cab hailing protocol.  Our knowledge of taxis came from Sex & the City...needless to say, we were feeling a bit out of our element.  So as we were trying to figure out the proper etiquette of taxi cab hailing, our five year old daughter sticks her little arm in the air, starts waving it around  yelling, "TAXI!"  She became so confident being our family taxi cab hailer, I was able to catch her doing it in the picture on the right.  To pull this project together, I used a variety of papers from Bella Blvd's "Let's Go" collection, namely because I loved the cute taxi cab print.
