I remember flying with her as a little girl. She was definitely the best ride that little old swing set had to offer. The rings and the single swing didn't hold a candle to this baby. She could fly like the wind.
Staying true to form, I decided to vintage-ify this little sweety-pie.
Ah,memories.
Memories . . . light the corners of my mind..
misty, water-colour, memories of the way we were.
Oh, pardon me...that was so off key!
Isn't she peachy?
So many memories on this little lady.
Including a few painful ones.
And wouldn't you know it.
She still flies like the wind.
Apparently, they don't make em' like they use to!
**These pictures were edited in Photoshop Elements and Lightroom 2 (my new love). Thanks you know who!!
Now "swing" on over to Monica's at Pixel Perfect. She hosts this fun little Before and After Blog hop and it's just loads of fun.

FUN! How great that your children are using the same swing (whatchamacallit) that you used!! I like your edits!!!
You are so great with the vintage look! We have a swing similar (all wood) on the swing set in our back yard. It is a definite favorite!
Beautiful. I love the editing...brings out the rustic look of the old lady. What a great swing and I thought you sand just beautifully. LOL
You crack me up.
I think you really are my favorite blog to read because I find myself smiling every time. What a great sense of humor and what GORGEOUS edits!!!! How cool to see your kids on your old swing... WOW!!
Looks great! Ah-mazing! You know I got a thing for the whole vintage feel too :-) The scenery in the picture is beautiful.
Julie! I love it! Th land there is so pretty. It reminds me a lot of where we live.
Did you use a preset on these? If so I'd love to know which ones. Love Lightroom!
I'm trying to get something up this morning myself.
Have you taken a ride on that swing lately? That would make a great "after" picture.
The vintage effect is just perfect!!

Love it! And I can't believe how big S-Girl is! She's got to be off the Chinese growth charts!
Wow, that makes me want to head off to a farm and enjoy the country life! Nice job!
I love those things. My aunt had one and it was the awesomest part of going to visit her ;D
I used to have something very similar (but more 1970's) at my grandma's house too. It's long gone.
I love the edits. You do an amazing job...I really, really need to learn more about PS.
Nice edit! I like how you made it so vintage and nostalgic! Looks like you kids love it as much as you did! :)
