Gran, you have no idea how hard I danced the happy dance when I found this photo of your youngest and his family! So far, your photo and his are the closest I have to an image for my 2X great grandmother, Eliza. I was amazed to find you on the 1900 census, age 90, still working as a dressmaker, and wondered who granddaughter Ethel, who lived with you, belonged to - and here she is! She was a dressmaker, too, but I’m guessing she was too young here. She is probably 8 or 9. The littlest looks about 2 so this would be around 1890. Did you make the beautiful dresses in this photo? One day I’ll be able to ask you and we can have a nice long chat over biscuits and tea. I want to know about Eliza, please!

Vicky's Junque Journal 3 made this LO a snap. I used no blending simply started with the background, added elements, stamps, and paint until I liked the composition then added the photos and journaling. Pretty straightforward.
