      Hi Kristin. Yes it is a shame how old color photos change color. I noticed the other day the one of me and my grandma had become discolored in the sun and had started to crack in a couple of spots. I quickly scanned it and fixed it up the best I could on photo-shop.

She had these little inspirational sayings on her paintings of ladies that just spoke to me. I added a few of her prints to my house, making the point of reading the words on them daily. Those little messages were like vitamins for my spirit. I've been a follower of her blog and newsletter since then. When I learned in August that she was going to begin hosting monthly art dates, a voice in my…

Amanuensis Monday: Charity Ambrose Deed to Mt. Olive Methodist Church

At last, some genealogy right?!! LOL. I decided to jump back into things with an Amanuensis Monday post.
