Larry:
Imagine my surprise when a large package arrived in the mail today, addressed from you. Upon opening I found the following.
I can't thank you enough. I got tears in my eyes when I showed it to hubby. That was so thoughtful and greatly appreciated!!!
I am scanning the unframed one, as I can't get the whole frame in the scanner to show everyone.

Your welcome Marion,and thank you Jim for the kind words. it was just a little project i thought up with too much time on my hands. I have 5 done so far for my family members. The unframed one you scanned was one of the test printings on plain paper. I had tested printing on several types/colors of paper and i think the Antique Hand Laid Ivory paper the framed one is printed on looked best in the frame. It`s acid-free archival quality paper so it should last.
It`s even hard to get a digital pic to show the paper color as you can see in the plaque for my dad.
