Ohio Flags of Honor 2019

 

In June 2019, we were able to see the Ohio Flags of Honor Traveling Memorial at the Strongsville Commons. In previous years, we have seen this traveling memorial before (in different areas in Ohio). The experience is one you won't ever forget. Each flag pole has the name of an Ohio service man or woman who fought and died since 9/11. So many flags.... so many deaths. May we remember their sacrifice always.

Thanks for dropping by!

Historic Tredegar

Continuing work on our 2013 photobook. This was part of our trip to Richmond, VA seeing the Iron Works 'Tredegar', who provided ammunition to the Confederate soldiers of the Civil War. Such rich history in Richmond.....as I said before, we definitely need to take another trip there.... there is so much to see.

I did not have a 'bomb' stamp, so I created one using a circle punch, a square punch and the 'July Fourth' stamp (cropping just the fuse). In creating the reflection on the bomb (the crescent shape), I custom-made it starting with a circle punch in the My Digital Studio program. FUN!

Thanks for taking a peek!
