Family Reunion Family Tree Poster

I love a good Family Tree project--and I've made several!  So, when my grandmother asked me to make a Family Tree poster to identify the family members & their relationships to each other for our family reunion weekend celebrating their 65th anniversary and my grandfather's 90th birthday, I was happy to oblige.

The large 36" x 24" poster ended up being quite the conversation piece for the celebration weekend as we all re-introduced ourselves to each other and met several new family members that weren't a part of the family yet 15 years ago, the last time we were all together!

Family & friends can read all about the weekend here (log-in to view):

• A & E Celebration Weekend: Shabbat Services
• A & E Celebration Weekend: Saturday Adult Dinner
• A & E Celebration Weekend: Sunday Brunch

This isn't the first time I've made an artistic rendering of our family tree for an event. 

For my grandmother's 80th birthday about seven years ago, I made a scrapbook-y photo-version, showing all their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, which is currently displayed at their house (and is now significantly out-dated!):

And in my own home, we have a paper and canvas Family Tree in our entryway that I made with watercolor paint, cardstock and canvas:

See! Told ya.  I love a good family tree project. :)
