Everybody loves Summer and Photos and Pretty things

Ahhhh…. summertime.

I’m reminded of a song from my Sunday School days:

Oh what do you do in the summer time? Do you  (I can’t remember the list of things, but it was long and made up of stuff that kids do in the summer.)
Oh what do you do in the summer time? Is that what you do? So do I!

Ballgames, camping, working in the garden, slapping mosquitoes, endless hours laying by the pool waving for the cabana boy to refresh your juice drink…

Family reunions. Weddings.
Is that what you do? So do I!

We put together these two bits of gorgeousness for our friend Trudi. One for Mother’s Day and the other for her mother in law’s 99th birthday.
Trudi brought us a big stack of really cool photos to look at, but she already knew which ones she wanted to use.  So we scanned them and  arranged them and made a nice little montage with an antique background  for each block. Then we printed and mounted them to the blocks.
The photos were not originally sepia toned, but by tinting them it made them blend together better.
(Pay no attention to that messy worktable in the background.)
Wouldn’t these make a wonderful giveaway or presentation for a family reunion?
How about a wedding?  Anniversary party?

Now that you’re all inspired to make something like this for your own family, click over to Writings on the Wall to this page right here and see how we can make this happen for you.

Glass blocks ain’t just for Christmas, you know!
