DeDe provides family history journaling prompts every Tuesday. I'm actually 3 prompts behind. But I'm going to journal them anyway, because I think they're interesting.

What do you remember about yourself as a teenager? What was important to you? What were your dreams?

Ever since moving back to California, to a city that is 26 miles from the house ( Read more... )

Every so often, I do one of these meme things. I find it relaxing. You can skip it if you want to ( Read more... )

This week's question from Designz by Dede is:

Name three generations of family members on your mother's and father's sides, starting with yourself and any memories/stories you have of them.

My long-term memory is as good as my short-term memory is bad. Therefore, I have a lot of stories about distant and not-so-distant family members.

Designz By DeDe has posted another Family History Tuesday question. (I'm kind of liking these.)

• Jack's Story (a board book I made about Jack's adoption)
• Jack's Firsts

 I love scrapbooking, and have recently really begun digital scrapbooking. I follow the blog of several designers, including one who blogs about stuff other than scrapbooking sometimes. Today, she's proposed a Family History Tuesday, and asked her readers to journal about various family history topics. I thought I'd give it a whirl, because I like ( Read more... )

You know what I hate? People saying, "It's like comparing apples to oranges" as though you can't compare the items in question.

You can TOTALLY compare apples and oranges. They're both fruits. They both grow on trees, from seeds. They both contain seeds you can't eat. They both have peels, though one has a peel you can eat and one has a peel that ( Read more... )

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."
