This one is about me.
This one is about me and my Aunty Mary who is 3 years older than me.
Mum and Dad.

For the relatives in the USA this is the Shaw Family. Mary Riley/Shaw/Mollison with her daughter Margaret and Mary Kinsey Harkins known as Mamie.
Mary Riley was my Gt Gt Grandmothers sister.
I still have a lot more to make but at least they are not stuck in a cupboard. I had all the originals colour copied at Staples.

I think so many of us just leave our treasures stuck in a cupboard. Love what you are doing with yours and lovely keepsake for future generations of the family. Anne x
Love your box and what you have done with your family photographs to preserve them for future generations. Lovely idea. Elizabeth x
This is absolutely fabulous. I wish I had a 'family' of photographs - such a great idea. Perhaps I could 'borrow' vintage photos and images and create one of my own.
