This past October would've been Grandma Nixon's100th Birthday.  To remember her, the girls in the family all painted one of her original paintings.  The apples were special because it was Aunt Catherine's favorite.  Her kitchen was decorated in apples for as long as I can remember.  Grandma's painting of the apples hung in the same place for years.  We talked about how both of them were so special.  

We realized that Grandma didn't start painting until her hands started bothering her from sewing.  So, she didn't actually start painting until she was a lot older.  

After we were all done, we had a new appreciation for Grandma and her talent :)

Thank you, Andrea for working this out for us! It was a lot of fun!

I cannot believe the time that flies so quickly.  Here are a few shots from my camera-  I know I have more on my phone that needs to be cleared out.  She loved planning, decorating and spending time doing crafts with her friends.
