our sody

Such a treasure to have all those photos! It is a long process indeed. I enjoyed reading your journaling and really like how the photos are darkly matted on top of all the layering of papers. Such a beautiful way to display history!

Exactly!! What a treasure you have on your hands!!! Not everyone is so lucky!! You've created a beautiful page to display them. The papers are gorgeous and I love the bits of burgundy throughout. (The handwritten note is an awesome addition! The writing looks so much like my own dear grandmother's.) Just love your page!

I also am trying to put together family pictures and family history, but my parents are also gone and I have limited resources.. �� I am 76 and like you feel I don’t have eons to pull this together.. that being said, I was intrigued by the title of “our sody”. I went scouring for info and you may already know this, but it seems it was a type of house built from sod when other materials were too costly or unavailable. I thought I would share what I found in case you might find it interesting... <a style="color: #417394; text-decoration: none;" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sod_house" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sod_house</a></blockquote>

Thank-you for your intrest, I too am 75 and feel the need to get family pictures scrapped and documented. My husband and I have both inherited our families photos. I keep thinking that I only have 10-15 years at the most to get it done. My husband has a 90 yr old aunt who we visited last week end and got a lot of photos identified, she is our last resourse. I was aware that the "sody" refered to her sod house, but I still don't know where she fits into the picture.
