Decorating the past.

I am an avid collector of old photos. I have scanned boxes of photos from all sides of the family and I am still looking for more. Then, there is the scrapbooking. Most know I am an enthusiastic scrapper with my Australian girls at Chookscraps.com. Outside of my childhood friends (a majority not yet/or ever will be cyber) these gals have been a great way to stay connected in some way to a country I still consider 'home.' Not only funny, but inspiring and a great group to be a part of. I have been lucky to meet one or two of these new cyber friends IRL.

What has this got to do with Genealogy? Scrapbooking gives me the delightful craft of using a photo to help tell the story....with accessories. * wink *

Here are some examples;

So remember to learn about your ancestors and share the stories with your kids and others, and honour your ancestors in some way. Without them you wouldnt be here.
