Each item in the photograph means something to me.  The quilt used as a backdrop was made by my husband’s great grandmother who I was fortunate to know.  She was an amazing family woman.  The sign in the middle was made by one of my good friends and is representative of my marriage.  The jar on the right with our wedding bands was made by my husband’s grandmother.  She filled the jar with sand and shells from the beach where we married and place our wedding invitation in it.  It always reminds me of our special day.  The watch on the right was given to me by my middle son when her was 5 years old.  He gave it to me because he liked all the sparkle.  The face cracked within the first week.  It reminds me how fast time flies by.  The bandannas along the bottom represent my children.  The pink for my daughter, white for my innocent middle son and blue for my youngest.  After understanding what each item is in my portrait, I would want people to understand how important my family is to me.  My immediate family as well as my extended family.
