Lilly   
Time travel was the theme for today. Make something that seems like it comes from another era.

I chose a picture of my maternal grandmother and made a collage of vintage items. She lived into her nineties, and was always ready to try out anything new. She was my only grandmother as my paternal grandmother died before I was born.  I was the oldest grandchild, and only grandchild for 4 years, so I spent a lot of time with her and we were always very close. She was a wonderful, wise women and influenced me in many ways.

While I was playing around with old photos, I came up with this shattered version of my dad. He is now 92 and suffering with dementia as a result of a stroke. He was an educator all of his life and wonderful with kids - his own, and those he had in class. He and my mom influenced many children through the years. It is difficult to watch the disintegration of a beautiful mind.
