WOW! Your "addition" of Grammy is perfectly placed in this photo & the opacity of her gives the artwork a "memory" feeling! Excellent work (as usual), Sis!

This ghostly effect is so awesome, Laura! Makes me think of my Grandmother always in the cabinet to get plates or cups to feed us with!!

Hi Everyone!!! I sure am tickled that this one is having the same effect on you as it has me! Grandparents are precious things. At least they sure can be...(I just thought of a funny thing that happened as a child. One set of grandparents we saw constantly. They were fun and loving, musical and VERY humorous! SOFT TOUCH type of people. The other set lived way too far away to visit often. They were abrasive and "different" from us but still loving! Lol...When we'd see the second set, our grandfather would squeeze each kid so hard our eyes would almost pop out! He was an entertaining sort of sarcastic man that reminde me of Jimmy Durante). I loved your responses! Thanks for commenting and for the visit! -Laura :)

Hi Laura, What a marvelous creation...and a beautiful tribute to grandmothers the world over. Terrific idea and exceptionally well-done, as always your DD work is first-rate! Thanks for stopping by - sorry I have been absent recently. Had a major work assignment that kept me very busy these last 2 months, and have been trying to catch up ever since. Hope you've been well and happy!

Rona knows what she's talking about, Pom! This lovely layered creation is a marvelous way to get your discussion thread guests to remember "days gone by", and those who made their childhood special. I can see my mother's mother in the kitchen, but, even more,I can SMELL the doughnuts she's preparing!! Aaaaahhh...

Did you re-enter this one, SSSLala? I sure hope so. It is simply FANTASTIC. Perfectly captured in every way and the magic of 'Grandma' standing there is enough to send chills down my spine. And it a good way, that is. It deserves gold and I hope it gets it.

Hi SSSis :) Yep. I re-entered it last night and had also noticed there was room for more comments if anyone wanted to visit (HeeHee) so moved it up front. I have others I want to re-enter too. Happy to see you here again and for your awesome support. Thank you, Kiki! :) xo SSSLala

I thank God in my prayers for my family that have gone by. They are part of why we are who we are...and it also makes me feel my own responsibility to those younger than I am, in my life, who might be looking up to me. Thanks Jo Ann, and I am so happy I could touch a happy cord for you and others who have viewed this image! :))) Laura :)
