A Grand Mother...

Clara Rose (nee O'Shea) McCue, Circa 1949

It's week #2  as a Guest Designer and Case #10 over at CSI.. http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/
and oh what fun.... soooo many talented ladies, a GREAT Place to come and be inspired!!

I LOVED this week's challenge because of the rich colors and interesting elements we had to try and include...I was happy to be able to share a little bit about the very special woman who adopted and raised me and even though she was biologically my paternal Grandmother and passed away when I was 15.... I am very proud to call her Mom...
