I can’t believe I did this!

Last month in Arizona we saw Gordie & Bev Raatz, whom we met in 1967-68. Gordie is now in his 80’s and this photo [on the left] is the only photo he had of himself as a child. It was in poor condition and well protected in their family album.

I scanned the photo and brought it home to attempt a restoration for them. Next week I will send them 3- 5×7 copies for them and their two daughters. In years past I have done some photo work for Alice’s paper dolls, but nothing was this badly damaged. Do you think they will like it? I do!

Next I will make Bev a photo of her dad, from the only photo she has of him… in her wedding party! She will love a 5×7 to frame next to her mom’s photo! Then I will begin to scrap their wedding album for their 57th anniversary gift in September.
