Dothan, Peanut capital of the world!

We take so many things for granted... including the city/town where we live! So last week I made a commitment to myself to discover the beauty of the city where I live. I stopped at Sam's and saw this giant peanut at the door! I remember reading somewhere about the peanuts all over town. Well, this is why there are peanuts all over Dothan:

Since approximately one-fourth of the U.S. peanut  crop is produced nearby, with much of it being processed in the city, Dothan calls itself "The Peanut Capital of the World."

I made a special page today honoring the peanuts of Dothan using the Paper Poppy Co. June's kit, which is fabulous by the way. You can purchase it here:  http://paperpoppykitco.blogspot.com/

    Funny, but you are so right in that we do take out cities and states for granted. What a great idea to go out and rediscover yours again! Love that Peanut, and of course your LO is just great and love those flowers.

    Great page and I bet no one has done a better scrapbook page to honor Dolthan's Peanut capitol! I never knew that Alabama even grew peanuts till I moved here. See I guess we just need to stop and smell the roses!

    Beautiful layout Beatriz! Don't you just love that kit. I agree with you on what we take for granted regarding where we live. I live in the Nations Capitol and am guilty of never seeing the Cherry Blossoms!
