Yall (yeah I'm an Arkie) I am so excited. We had a rather dramatic Mothers Day...(mom's yard was trashed by some of my sisters 'friends', and my great granny was whiny ALL day...) but, while we were at my Nanny's house I mentioned to my Great Grandma (who was being extremely whiny...did i mention that?) that when I was at her house I few weeks ago I noticed the old albums and wondered if i could get them and scan some pictures in....

Well, she said 'sure' and told me where they were. So me and my sister went down to her house and took a few of the albums.

Yall...I have an album full of my NANNY. My grandmother. As a child and stuff. I was soooo excited. My nanny is very special to me, and we have a close relationship. I have pictures of my mom, and I'm so excited to have some of my grandmother! EEEEK! now I've got to find the time to scan them! I look so much like her, and she makes theis scowling face in some of her pictures that looks like Selah's scowl!

Doing the happy dance! That totally made my mother's day!

WooHoo!!!! That's what I felt like when I found out about all of my grandmother's old photos after she died last year. I took my scanner and laptop to my grandmother's and sat there and scanned them all in!!!

Way to go on the score, Stephanie!!!

That is an amazing find, Stephanie! I can't wait to see the photos! I have been slowly scanning photos that belonged to both of my grandmothers, and my mother- so far have only found two of my mother as a child, one of which is inkstained beyond my ability to repair. I just used them in a LO anyway- here it is (http://www.digitalscrapbookartisanguild.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2799&ppuser=294). I'll be watching for yours! Enjoy your find!
