Great Grandma Angie Family Picture Wall

My Great Grandma Angie had a family picture wall in her home in Rexburg, ID.  

It was filled with pictures of her ancestors, extended family and posterity (which is ever expanding).  

Her posterity count as of today is:

 5 children

37 grandkids

138 great grandkids 

276 great, great grandkids
6 great, great, great grandkids

Pretty cool, huh?

What a difference one amazing, woman makes!

  We spent our summers at her home, and would often spend time looking at her family wall
trying to figure out who is related to who? and how?  

I have made this family art wall dedicated to her!

Now my kids ask the question,"How am I related to ______?"

This is a genealogy fan chart I made back in 2008.  My family has been doing family history work and I am sure we can fill in some more of those blank spots now.

And here is my Great Grandma Angie and my Great Grandpa Willis and their family.  

My Grandma is the dark brunette on the right.  Don't you think she was quite the "looker"?

The frame at the top is from WestElm.  It is called a Mirror Gallery Frame.  

A little pricey, but so worth it to give the modern edge to our traditional family wall.

The frame on the left and the little one in the middle are 

Antique Silver Gallery Frames from WestElm as well.

The wood frame in the center is the Threshold Gallery frame in brown finish from Target.

I was inspired by Dana Miller over on www.housetweaking.com:

I have always thought "copying" was one of my talents.

Now I just need an awesome credenza, lamp, etc. to anchor my family picture wall!
