Two days in a row ...

Good Wednesday Morning!! I'm back again (two days in a row ...) with another page for my Gram's album.

I have a few more layout to share - one using Graphic 45 papers. I'll be back to share those as soon as they're photographed. I have to say ...photographing projects in New England is the most challenging part of scrapbooking!!! Thanks for all your lovely thoughts about my Gram - she was truely amazing!
