Carrie

I chose to use a photo of my great grandmother, Caroline Augusta-Carrie.
Journaling reads: My great grandmother married in 1887, gave birth to 13 children. In 1904, 7 children had measles and 3 died from complications.
Carrie was expecting a daughter at the time. In 1907 a son was struck by lightning as he walked home from school and he died. In 1916, the 4
oldest sons joined the Indiana Guard and were sent to the Mexican border in WWI. In 1918 her oldest son and and his wife died within days and Carrie
and her husband raised 2 of their children. In 1924, their home burned to the ground. Carrie was faithful to her church and and played the piano there. She loved to garden and raised lots of flowers.
She lived 89 years.
I used all items by Anna Aspnes...ArtPlay Palette Family, ArtPlay Palette Concerto, ArtPlay Palette Sun Fun, Textured FotoBlendz No 1, and ArtPlay Palette Santa Nicholas Add On No. 1. Font is pristina.
OMG. How much can a woman bear in only ne life .....
Love that you've dedicated a page to her: she deserves that.
Love the piano-button to showcase the happy side of her life.
