Hodge Podge Art

Journal Prompt: What was your first REAL job?

Happy Monday scrappers! Jacque here, bringing you this weeks challenge. We are so excited about all of the beautiful layouts that have been filling up our Hodge Podge gallery at MSA! Hopefully you have enjoyed creating your album. Last week was our letter prompt 'B'. So this week is a journal prompt. So here it is!

::Describe your first REAL job.::

Did you work in a fast food restaurant? Or babysit neighbors? Maybe you worked with a relative or outdoors. Was your job memorable or is it something you have gladly forgotten? Did you work with children or animals or at an office. Maybe your first job was a call to motherhood. Whatever it was, create a layout describing it. We want to hear all about it. 

My first job (besides babysitting for neighbors) was working at our family owned dairy farm. I was about 10 years old and I remember working ALL day on Saturdays just so I could earn $10. I wasn't the best employee, my job was easy. I sat in the store front waiting for cars to drive up. Then I walked out and the drivers asked for milk. I walked to the fridge doors and handed them their milk and they paid me. It was the best job. Not to mention that my grandma always spoiled me with large bowls of ice cream and fresh produce from her garden while I "worked". LOL

Here is my layout.
