Day 157 - Happy Birthday to Me & My Brother

Happy Birthday to me and my twin brother. This picture is one of my favorites from when we were little. Oh, it's also my pug Chloe's birthday too.
I should have posted this on our actual birthday (the 6th), but oh well.

Day 123 - Happy Birthday to my Niece!

Today is my niece's birthday! Happy Birthday Melissa! This picture is actually several years old, but I really like it - she looks quite mysterious and arty.
Also, today marks 4 months of my 365 project!

Day 78 - Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my Dad; I miss you! He was a stamp collector, primarily of France and French colonies. He also collected British colonies and thought that it was interesting that Great Britain didn't have to identify the country on their postage stamps because "everyone knew the Queen of England". He loved railroads and also Ham Radio. I'm sure at one time I knew why he had 2 call signs, something special I think, but I can't remember anymore. He was very interested in the space missions and also worked on the software that was used for the Apollo missions and tracking the capsule's splashdown. I think the photo was taken in 1947, when he finished his Master's Degree.

Day 70 - Remembering My Grandparents

This picture is of my grandparents, but I don't know when it was taken. I'm guessing it was pretty early, maybe 1915 to 1920 or thereabouts. The actual picture is much larger as they are in a huge field of daisies. My grandfather had nice thick, curly hair all his life.

Day 48 - Sweet tired baby

Color on this photo is a little wonky - I'm not at home so can't get a good angle and the lighting isn't too great either. This is my nephew's daughter Estella. They were visiting last week. We went to the Zoo and then out to dinner, when she finally went to sleep. She just cracks me up because she naturally puts her hands behind her head. What a little sweetie! Scrapbook paper, Pogo photo, ribbon, German scrap.

I took the picture with my phone (Droid X) then sent it to my Pogo printer via Bluetooth. Take that, iPhone!

Day 41 - Giggle

This is a picture of me and my twin brother when we were about a year (?) - I actually have no idea, that's just a wild guess. Painted paper, photo, stamping, specialty papers.

Day 17 - Green

Today's theme is/was green. One thing I really noticed today is how hard it is sometimes to make a collage this small. Although I'm glad I didn't pick a larger format for this challenge,  I had to reject a bunch of stuff because it was too big for the ATC.
BTW, the picture is of my grandmother, grandfather and his sister. Their last names began with "F".

Day 8 - Mom's cousin Ruth

This is my Mom's cousin Ruth in the mid to late 40s I think. My collage supplies are so disorganized that I got rather frustrated while looking for stuff to use. Sigh...
Go make art!

Day 7 - My Mom as a little girl

This picture is of my Mom and grandfather when she was about 4 years old, in 1922 or possibly 1923. I'm pretty sure I never saw this picture until after she died and I was looking for pictures of her as a child. It's one of my favorite pictures of her.
