Such a pretty page - love the colors and design. Can't believe you remember what was in the photo over the mantle. LOL! (really can't believe Mama would have pink flamingos hanging in her house!!!) Obviously I wasn't even a thought at this time... I wish that I had gotten to know Grandmama - I missed all that... But, I'm glad that you have these memories of her. Love the newsprint numbers and the pretty swirl and flowers!
Old photo of my family. That's me standing between my mother and grandmother. I used chipboard pieces around the date and the swirls are chipboard. I added a heart, a few flowers, and a metallic key. Some distressing and tearing and lots of inking for dimension. The journaling behind the photo is attached to the pull tab that has "The story behind the photo". Journaling reads: I remember when this picture was taken. We lived in what we’ve always call “the old gray house” on Jackson Street in Waycross, Georgia. The house is no longer there. Your Grandma told me that the house was moved to another location and turned into a church. In this photo from left to right is: Mike, Ruth Perdue (Mama – holding Karen), me, Grandmother Pace, and Randy. I’ve put the date as 1954 – I’m not really sure of the exact date of this picture, but it was probably close to the end of 1954 or early in 1955, since Karen was born in March of 1954 and Grandmother Pace died on April 19, 1955. I remember crawling up behind my Mama and Grandmama, so that I could be next to both of them. The photo on the wall above the mantle was a picture of pink flamingos on a beach. I think I was always fascinated by that picture when I was a little girl.
