Thank you very much, Julie! Glad that you enjoyed them.
What a proud family heritage. It’s so wonderful that you have so many photos and that you’re doing something with them; they’re not just sitting in a box or gathering dust on your wall. Beautiful!
Thanks very much for your generous comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the photographs. (Full disclosure: they are sitting in a box, but well-protected against environmental damage.)
Great pics!
Thanks so much!
I like this Linky much better than the old one! I must say I never used to link up here because I didn’t know how!
Thanks for your comment and for stopping by! I’m glad you find this linky easier to use.
This is probably my favorite WW post so far! Thanks for sharing the collage.

Lovely collage you made this week. Happy Memorial Day to you.

What a nice tribute to the veterans!
Thanks very much, Stacie!
I love it! I also love the presentation. Did you use a collage widget or manually compiled the photos?
Thanks for your kind comment, Megan! I didn’t use a collage “widget” to do the collage; instead, I compiled the photos of military personnel I’d scanned into my computer, cleaned them up with photo-processing software, reduced their file size/resolution, and created an album of them on the Facebook RetroCollage page (http://www.facebook.com/RetroCollage). I clicked and dragged the pictures in the Facebook album to rearrange their order. Then, I inserted a link to the Facebook album page in this blog-post.
Wow that is very clever. And this way, you have the collage in both places. Very clever indeed.
Thanks for your thorough answer
You’re very welcome!
Such a great post! Beautiful and interesting collage..
Hope you can stop by:)
Thanks for your kind words, Leah! I’ve just been to your site, where I’ve left a comment.
Beautiful collage and amazing!
Visiting for WW- hope you can stop by:)
