About 10 years ago, the day before I went into labor with my second son, we got my Grandma’s “labor of love” sent off to the printer! She had compiled a family cookbook full of family recipes, history and photos. I was able to design the inside and outside covers and the divider pages for the cookbook.
The photos on the front and back cover are of my grandma when she was a little girl. She loves to cook and she loves to talk on the phone, so the photos were the perfect representation of her. The photo I scanned for the front cover had been hand-colorized many years ago, and I was able to scan the black and white photo on the back cover and colorize it to match.
A few years ago, I was able to take these photos of my Grandma with her cookbook. They are special photos I will cherish always.
This past June, we had a 90th birthday party for her and I was able to get some aprons made in her honor using the same artwork, but adding the words “90 Years of Love and Laughter.”
