Hi Everybody!
First of all I want to wish everyone who celebrates a Happy Thanksgiving:
Today I have some old family photos which I put into collages (of course, only copies of the photos!)
Me making funny faces:
This is Erika on the right, a distant cousin, and her parents in the other pic:

DeleteIt's fun to see these again Valerie. Or at least most of them I've seen. But they are all wonderful. I love how you use old family photos. I should dig mine out and make copies of them for art. I hope you've had a great week. I have my hubby and my daughter here but right now everyone is still in morning sleepy mode-including the dogs. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the family needs to sleep off the food coma after Thanksgiving 🦃, and I know you cook so well!
DeleteUsing family photos in collages is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, happy Thanksgiving! Hugs!
DeleteI absolutely love how you preserve copies of those great old family photos into beautiful creations! I scrapbooked all my old ancestry photos but your clever creations add such an element of fun to enjoying those old pictures again and again! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol, I had fun with these photos!
DeleteThese are wonderful. I adore your various collages you created from your own saved photos.

Ah yes, time - there is never enough of it- At least I don't have to work these days! Have a great weekend, hugs!
