Sweet Quotes about Grandmother, Grandma, Nana, Grammy 

Kind Words about Grandmas for Scrapboing, Cards, Gifts, etc.

LOVING QUOTATIONS ABOUT GRANDMOTHERS

Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~Author Unknown

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

Grandmothers are just antique little girls. ~Author Unknown

A child needs a grandparent, anybody's grandparent, to grow a little more securely into an unfamiliar world. ~Charles and Ann Morse

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ~Rudolph Giuliani

Being grandparents sufficiently removes us from the responsibilities so that we can be friends. ~Allan Frome

A house needs a grandma in it. ~Louisa May Alcott

Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete. ~Marcy DeMaree

Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends - and hardly ever our own grown children. ~Ruth Goode

Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~Author Unknown

When a child is born, so are grandmothers. ~Judith Levy

If God had intended us to follow recipes,
He wouldn't have given us grandmothers.
~Linda Henley

Uncles and aunts, and cousins, are all very well, and fathers and mothers are not to be despised; but a grandmother, at holiday time, is worth them all. ~Fanny Fern

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam Brown

If nothing is going well, call your grandmother. ~Italian Proverb

Three Quick Tips to Taking Better Family Photographs 

ARTICLE *** Picture Taking Ideas *** ARTICLE

Three Quick Tips to Taking Better Family Photographs
by Janienne Jennrich

1. Take pictures in places with one type of light. Cameras have trouble getting the exposure right when the people are in the shade and the sun is bright behind them, for instance. By adjusting the picture subjects or the angle from which the photo is taken, it may be possible to get mainly shade or mainly sun in the photo. This will make for a more evenly lit photograph.
2. Really look closely (through the camera) at each person before snapping the picture. Is everyone smiling? Are they looking at the camera? Is anyone being blocked by anyone else? Do a countdown and announce something like "Okay, everyone look at me and smile on the count of three... 1,2,3 (Click)." This avoids someone saying "I wasn't ready!" right after the photo is taken.
3. Pictures of people are generally more interesting at closer range. Leave out the knees and feet and try to frame the photo to get mainly a mainly portrait type shot. For single subjects (like a toddler), a whole body shot may work. When framing the photo, be sure to use the "zoom in" feature on the camera, rather than standing too close if a flash is being used. Flashing closer than about 5 feet will wash out the look of your subject with too bright of lighting.
