after many long hours of editing . . .

First of all, if you are here or have been here from Rachel and Elsie's class, welcome. Feel free to come back anytime. I don't know about you, but I really love the classroom environment so so inspiring.

I have finally finished going through the pictures that I scanned at my grandmas and I am going to share some of my faves. yay!
First let me say, I pretty much loved all of the ones that I scanned (why else would I have scanned them in the first place?) and these are a few of my favorites and I had a really tough time trying to decide which ones to share . . . anyways these are the ones I decided on for tonight and I will probably share more again in the future. Also some of these I have no reason for choosing them except for the fact that they resonated with me in some way or another - they kind of just made my heart sing.

My momma.

My Dad's shorts. My Mom's shirt. Enough said.

My parents again. I feel like I need to give them a chance to redeem themselves for the last picture and this one does just that I think (ps. I really like this one)


Staying with the couple theme, these are my grandparents circa 1954 - 1 year before they got married. Too cute. They're still that cute, and poppa still frequently takes goofy pictures like this.

Poppa and my mom (left) and aunt (right). Do I have a cool grandpa or what? Get a load of those sweet Ray Bans.

What can I say? I have cool grandparents. Look at those cat eye glasses on grandma. *lovely*

This may well be my favorite picture of the day. Its a couple of my mom's aunts. I don't know why I love it so much, I just know I *love* it.

For the curious - when editing these pics I really didn't do much to them, I just lightened them up, sharpened some of them and punched up the colour in most of them.

Ok, tonight I am scrapping and journalling. What are you up to?

xoxo Jer
