My DH's maternal grandmother, from 1913... I had the pleasure of knowing her for many years before she passed away.

Loving your journaling, your photo is a definite treasure. Fantastic clustering and I like how your photo is being embraced by it.

Love the muted colors and what looks to be a darker sky. Not sure if you added the effect, but it adds drama to your photos. What I like about heritage pics is that there are no retakes. You treasure what you are gifted with.

Thank you. :)

No, the family was all raised Catholic. I think it was just a hat she liked. But I agree, it does look like a Salvation Army bonnet.

Totally forgot to post this one here. Helen was my mother-in-law's best friend. She is also my DH's uncle's second wife. They were both going through a divorce, met up and became friends at my DH's grandmother's funeral. It took them a number of years before they married, they lived 200 miles...

I know, it is amazing and shocking when I look back and see that 2022 is coming to an end. Wanted to share this layout, featuring my mother, in the backyard of the home I grew up in, from 1936. I just LOVE her bonnet. :)

I am in awe of your photo selection (me being generally a one photo per page kind of a scrapper). Your layout has been showcased on Lynn's FB fan page. Congrats!

What a sweet photo, lovely clustering. So pretty in pink. :) A treasure with your added journaling.
