My mom got an unexpected call from my grandaunt Flo.\u00a0 Although she has some major health issues and is bound to a wheelchair, her mind is well intact.\u00a0 They talked a lot about family.\u00a0 My mom told her I was working on our family history and Flo is more than happy to help me out.\u00a0 I am planning a trip to see her around the holidays.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My mom informed me that Flo had lost pictures of her first wedding in a house fire.\u00a0 I only have a few (none of her), but I wanted to make her some copies.\u00a0 Instead of simply printing out the photos, I decided to try my hand (for the second time) at digital scrapbooking.<\/p>\n

I created three pages, all 300 dpi for printing.\u00a0 And although my printer is fantastic and prints bleeds and high quality prints, I am going to take them to Kinko’s and have them printed on a thicker paper (copy paper just doesn’t do photos justice) and save on color ink.\u00a0 I am going to matte and frame them and give them to Flo as a Christmas gift.\u00a0 I hope she enjoys them!<\/p>\n

This first one is of Flo’s wedding, which shows my grandmother, Joan (Flo’s sister); my grandfather, Jack; and my dad as a little boy (I think that’s one of her favorite photos, as she remembered it when she talked to my mom).<\/p>\n

\"Aunt<\/p>\n

This next one is of my grandparent’s wedding.\u00a0 The group photo is of my grandparent’s; my granduncle (grandpa’s brother, Ray); and family friend, “Aunt” Pat.\u00a0 You may recognize the friend from an earlier post Are They One in the Same?<\/a> (more on that in my next post).<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

This last one is of McMahon family.\u00a0 There is a picture of Flo and Joan as young girls, a few of them as young women, and one of their parents John & Emma.<\/p>\n
