Photo Restoration

Last year I was approached by one of the moms in my Girl Scout Troop about restoring a photo of her husband’s father.  At first I was skeptical that anything could be done to save this photo.  It was a wallet sized photo, covered in Scotch tape, dirt and looked like it had been dropped in a…

A Long Time Coming….

When I was a little girl my grandfather would sit down to Sunday Dinner around 2:00 p.m. and say “Well, this is good, and boy was it a long time coming!”  If you knew Pop you would be familiar with his “Poppie-ism”.  Truth be told,  there is always a truth to his “-isms”.  This blog is a…
