~Heartbreaker, c.1870~

Photo Details

Poster: patsmethers

Heartbreaker, yep. This is my great-great grandmother, Emma Zuella (Francis) Blauvelt, born in 1850 in New York City. She married Silas Blauvelt in 1873 and they settled in Brooklyn and had four children. But, oh- the life she led prior to meeting up with Silas! Yes, you can see the Olympic Gold Metal she won for breaking cowboy's hearts 'round 1870 or so. The details are a bit sketchy, but you can tell by her fine form, that girl had it all!

Emma became part of this crazy challenge between myself and Nancy (nwilliams6). Nancy's challenge to me this month was to make a funny card, using a photo of a relative no longer living, our initials somewhere on the front, and also use an embellishment not commonly seen on a card. (I used straw, probably from Emma's romps in the barn! Shh.....) Please take a look at Nancy's card! OMGosh, it is too funny!

You're a nut Pat! This is really a shady deal, this aunt making it to the olympics with this kind of dress...LOL

Love how you accomplished your challenge. You did soooo good there. I think you should see a doctor and your friend Nancy too. (I know a good one too, I visit him regularly.)

Love it Pat, you are a nut, and my favourite one too.

Lol Terri's comment cracks me up almost as much as your card. I think you got grandma's talents. Heartbreaker you. Now we know why you love cowboys so much. Hmmm, you inherited that from your heartbreaker grandma.
