Christmas 1956


I found some slides my Grandmother had kept and we scanned them and I was able to print as photos.   Of course I was thrilled to find some pictures from when my brother and I were young at Christmas.   I'm guessing this is 1956, my brother would be 3 in 2 months and I would be 5 1/2 at this time.     I can also see a little bit of my Mom sitting at the dining room table and also both of my grandmothers.   That's my Dad on the floor and even though only his arm is showing that is my paternal grandfather sitting on the couch as he always wore a white shirt and my other grandfather was always the photographer.

I'm entering this at "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"   I was inspired by the gold in the mood board and that goes with my gold stars in my background paper.


This month, we are asking you to use the "Home for the Holidays" mood board
. And it doesn't have to be about Christmas . . . you get to pick the holiday you would to scrap about.
