A Girl’s Pictorial Journal of Years Past

Worn and Torn but Still Lives

It has been several years since I have tried to use textures, but I’ve decided it is time to reteach myself. This is my first attempt, and it certainly leaves a lot to be desired. Still, I have to start somewhere. This album belonged to my children’ father’s mother. It is filled with pictures, newspaper articles, and notes from her friends spanning from high school through college. It is truly a treasure.

"Tonight, as I looked out my window

At the snowflakes, lovely and white,

I thought of the days of my childhood

Long past, all so happy and bright,”

~Gertrude TooledBuckingham, “The First Show of the Season” (1940s)
