Immigration
My art journal response for blissfully art journaling to the daily prompt, "Immigration." All digital.
my maternal grandfather was born in USA, but shortly after his family returned to Italy. I don't know what the story was, but when he was 18 he returned to USA. He met my grandmother (first generation American born of Italian immigrants) and they married.
I grew up in South Philadelphia, which is like a Little Italy.
I love all things Italian except my FAT gene. LOL!
I have some awesome old photos from my husband's family too.
I put them in my scrapbook. Digital scrapbooking is going to be my next frontier.
Originally a Jersey girl, I moved to Manhattan in 2004 when I married my handsome husband. I have two funny, amazing, grown-up kids (and a kid-in-law) who are the light of my life, a sweet little dog and two goofy cats. All these people make me smile daily. I own my own business and like my job a lot, and when I'm not working I like to play with art, photoshop, my camera, books, writing, and of course, i love to shop.
Teri,
