I am having another headache day or two and my sleep schedule is so messed up due to it so rather than getting nothing done, I sorted through pictures again and found even more that needed sorting and deleted over 23,000 duplicates of files and pictures. I really wish when I had copied over back up files from the old, old computer to my old lap top that I had done it then but things have just escalated with many back ups of all the old computers, I am still not done cleaning out all the files.
I hope I can do that with all the files and once it is organized, I can make a back up drive of the cleaned and organized pictures, journals and their school files without storing things that they don't want. I am just grateful it is all digital for the past 10 or so years so I don't have bins of papers and pictures to sort for that time. I still have lots of bins but figure once I get this done, it will be easier to maintain it in an organized manner as I start including new scans or movies I will be transferring to digital soon.
While sorting through the pictures, I found a few of this cute little picture in my mom's estate stuff. I don't remember it hanging most of my life but I think I vaguely remember it at some point in our home. It was left after everyone had pulled out what they wanted and when I read the back of it, I was excited that it was painted and given to her in New Zealand. I lived in N.Z. as an exchanged student my Jr. year in high school so I asked if I could keep it since it pertained to N.Z. It is funny that if something was attached to her Beauty Queen years, it seems to have more value to the family that the other items as she had SO much stuff, it was hard to determine what to keep.

I don't know if anyone will be able to help me find the artist but I figured I have much more of a chance putting it on youtube and my blog as people are good to help if they can.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me with this. I am working on her history and I would love to include the name of the artist with this painting in her history.
Have a Blessed Day!
