Family Heritage


I made this layout using an old family photo.  This is the only picture I've ever seen of my grandfather.  Not long after this photo was taken he deserted his wife and son, my father.  When my grandfather was on his death bed his boss contacted my father and told him he was in the hospital with only a short time left.  My parents flew to California to see him.  He died shortly after seeing my dad.

Little Moments in Our Life Make the Memories of Our Lives!

Welcome to my blog!  I have always been the photographer in our family.  I'm not in a lot of the pictures because I'm usually behind the camera.  I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, animal lover and friend.  I have always loved looking at old photos but sometimes, as your loved ones pass, names and dates are forgotten.  It's my desire to record the moments that make our memories as best I can.  I love digital scrapbooking which gives me the opportunity to catalog much more information that you'll usually find on the back of an old photo.  Not only can you keep the stories alive they make beautiful keepsakes.  I hope you enjoy the layouts I share and that I might encourage you to become your families memory keeper.  Every family needs one!
