I agree with Scrappin 2. whew...12 kids especially in those years.....no wonder she looks like that. What a great page.....great character........I love, love, love it!!!
Don't you just get a kick out of that?! I've noticed many old photo's w/mad people in them!! lol LOVE the BG pprs! ; ) and the ripped layers are so vintage perfect. Great color choices too. Love your work Vicki~
Oh yeah, she definitely didn't want her photo done. She was probably worried about what the kids were getting into while she was sitting there forever. LOL I love that background paper. It rocks!
OK I did, laugh out loud!! I would look like that too if I had 12 kids!! You are fortunate to have these pictures. I love the papers and the heritage look. Mad as a wet hen? Sorry just had to get that out. Great picture and layout!
12 children? No wonder she's not smiling, lol!!! Just kidding - like Lisa said they DID have to stay perfectly still and the serious expression must have been the one that was easy to keep for all those seconds.
I do love her, and I love your background, it's a perfect way to tell her story.
Vicki, yes I agree ,she looks MAD & then some, but I still like the page. That pic is very old indeed!!
I might be mad too if I raised 12 children!!! Poor Sallie... But we love her anyway. Hugs...
Vicki, you are SO lucky to have all of these wonderful photos!! I researched ancestry and wasn't able to come up with even one photo. I think because people back in those days had to remain very still in order for the photo to come out clear, a lot of them were probably in awe on the camera. But, having to raise all those children is enough to frustrate any mother : )
Go ahead and laugh because I always get a kick out of this photo. This is one of those times Southern Women say: "BLESS HER HEART, she didn't want to have her photo taken did she?" She looks just plain mad.
Sarah "Sallie" Pigg Hays is the wife of John Marshall Hays. Sallie had 12 children, nine of them before John joined the Union Army during the Civil War. How they made it is that they knew how to do about everything for themselves.
I wanted to make a LO similar to John's so they coordinate.
