Many of you know my Grandma is not doing well, hospice has been put in place and she is taking one day at a time. Last week the boys and I went to Florida for a quick visit and put to work :) My Grandma wanted a Family Tree painted on her living room wall to place all of her pictures. My parents took the boys and my sister and I got to work. It took us two days, about 3-4 hours each day.
We didn't get to hanging the pictures and add the special features we have in store for her tree while I was down there, but my sister will be doing the rest and sending me a picture of the completed tree. Grandma loves the tree and is excited to put up her pictures to enjoy her legacy.

I love this idea. My grandmother is moving from her home to an assisted living community. I wonder if I could do a mini size tree onto foam core and have it framed?

What a wonderful way to celebrate your Grandma's life, Jess, while she's still here to enjoy it. Hopefully, you can call her every day as long as she feels up to it with questions about family members their stories as well as about her young years and growing up. You could type them all up and make a booklet for her to enjoy. Your family will benefit from it too. I love doing projects like this, especially when I know it will bring someone happiness.

What a beautiful idea. I think my parents would LOVE something like this. My grandma passes away a few months ago and I know she would have loved something like this too.
ReplyDeleteOne thing they did in Hospice for my dad's family was traced all their hands including my grandma's and put them on a paper with a verse. It was beautiful. Just a thought of another treasure your family could put together.
I will keep you, your grandma and family in my prayers.

I have wanted to do this in my classroom forever (or a hallway) to display art projects on! I love this idea even more and I am sure your grandma does too! Can't wait to see the finished pic! Heather @ Learning with MrsLangley

Love the tree! I have been looking for one to paint on my wall and this is it. Where did you download the image from to project? We were planning to use a projector and then trace and paint. Any suggestions? What kind of paint did you use?
