Could you clean and colour my great grandparents and family please?
« on: Sunday 23 September 07 18:26 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone!

I wonder if you could clean this photo for me, and perhaps give it some colour please? It is a photo of the original, so I am not sure if the quality will be ok.

For those who remember my great uncle Fred, he is sitting, bottom left. My grandma is the taller of the two girls. As you can see her sister moved, resulting in her having 7 fingers  :o :o

Thank you very much! Judy  :) :)
Best wishes, Judy :-))

Hello Margaret! That is so lovely! Thank you! It printed out beautifully  :D :D

Hello Carolyn! - Thank you so much! I love the colours!  :D :D

HelloSmurf! Another fabulous restoration! Thank you! Yes, it must have been quite difficult keeping all those children to keep still!  : :D :D

I think it is quite a sweet photo of the children, all in their home-made clothes. Some were made more successfully than others!  :-\

Thanks again to all of you! I am thrilled with all of them! Very much appreciated! Judy  :D :D

Best wishes, Judy :-))
