Little Joan's birthday was a heck of a bash. Our Utah relatives are wonderful hosts and threw a lovely party for her special day.
The entrance to the hall featured a floral swag with this welcoming sign.
And there were albums filled with old family photos to flip through. I always love vintage pictures, but when they are of relatives, it really does make them more special. I should copy and use some for my work, just to help my husband's confusion. Because every time I use make something with an old image in it, he looks perplexed and says, "who is that? Do we know them?"
Imagine how relieved he would be if I told him, that yes, we knew the people in the art!
Here is Joan with her sisters. She is the itsy bitsy one on the end.
She is still a little bitty lady.
With a lot of fun packed into that tiny little package!
It was so good to see you guys this weekend for her birthday!!! She’s such a wonderful, sweet lady. I feel very lucky to know her. 🙂
The albums that were there, I was able to scan all of the pages so if you would like digital copies both I, or Terry have them and can send you a copy 🙂 They were so fun to look at and read all of her comments on the photos through the years.
Here’s my email if you want me to send you digital copies: alyse.neibaur@gmail.com
Lots of love!
Oh, I love that last picture – you go girl!!
Awwwww..what a sweet lady! You are blessed to have family around. Sure miss mine.
She’s adorable! I love that photo with all the sisters in their white dresses!
What a beautiful lady. I can tell she is one classy lady. I’m so happy you had such a wonderful celebration with Joan and family.
Love the girls in their fancy white dresses.
What great pictures and memories! I would definitely use these pics for your crafting! I have used our family’s pics and they are so fun.
Looks like a lovely weekend…

Oh, I love that adorable last picture of Joan! She looks like she is a lot of fun.
I also really like that old photograph of the two couples, with the one lady in what looks like an elaborate wedding dress.
Our hubbies can be funny sometimes, can’t they? It makes me smile to think of yours wondering about the people in the old photographs you use in your art. You are right, though, that it would be really fun to use old photographs of people you are actually related to!
Joan looks like a lot of fun! Happy Birthday Joan!
What a lovely birthday celebration!
