About Me

My name is Jennifer. Loving daughter to my 83 year old mother. Last year as a Mother's Day gift, I sent away to have all of her slides converted to digital images and have some photo restoration applied to them. Now she has all of her old slides digitized, so that she can view them when ever she likes in her digital photoframe, or as a photo book we printed for her.
