Oh, and another thing I am doing.

I am trying to get into scrapbooking, but with a purpose.

I'm taking old photographs of my great grandparents and their families and writing up not only who they were (I'm doing this for my niece and nephew) but I'm attaching stories that were told to me by my mother. Like how she remembered coming home from school and her grandmother would bake gingersnap cookies. Then I put the recipe on that page too.

I actually took some tatting that my grandmother had done and used it to frame a picture of her. I'm also taking pictures of things that have been handed down to me, like a pair of mourning beads from my great grandmother, and I work that in on her page so my niece will know "what" it was used for (like a sterling ribbon threader) and who it came from.
