My grandmother cut out and kept every article, wedding announcement, birth announcement, and obituary of all the people she knew. She carefully folded them and preserved them in her scrap book.
Her folded papers have created a snapshot of our family history. Nana is gone now, but her gift to the family remains.

Thanks. I was quite shocked to see that. I couldn't have taken this picture without my husband's help and advice. He has taught me everything I know about photography.
