Wow that is so precious <3GinniG wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 2:43 am Maybe not quite as strongly as you Tamara but yes. I have. Several of our only granddaughter as she was growing up. She was so photogenic as a child! Now she's 20 and camera shy.
One was a picture of my mother and her youngest great-grandson as a baby. The picture just spoke VOLUMES! I ended up making a 3D layout and putting it in a frame for my Mom who had it hanging just as you came to the top of the stairs. You couldn't miss it! When we sold their house my daughter got that framed layout. I don't have a picture of the layout but here's the picture of Mom and Garrett (who just turned 10 on Friday!)

And there's another one I haven't been able to scrap yet. It's the picture of her saying goodbye to my daughter (their only grandchild) and her 2 sons Garrett (above) and Noah. Mom had cancer and was in her last days. We all knew it and Michele and the boys had driven 3 hours to come see her. Somehow I caught the moment when she looked away and was fighting tears knowing she'd never see them again. I don't know how I got that picture but whenever it comes up on my screen saver or I come across it I fight tears myself. I hope someday I can scrap it and do it justice.

That is very sweet. I can't imagine how hard that would be. Your strength to me is amazing. Sometimes I wonder if I would of journaled better on my moms had I not waited so may years.Jan Mosier wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 8:18 am I have photos of Jack sitting in his wheelchair that sit next to his urn that I will someday scrap. As for now, I just can't bring myself to scrap them. Some day I will and it will have quite a bit of journaling.
