This week in scrapbooking kicked off with the anniversary celebrating my one year with www.families.com in the scrapbooking blog.

And my family wasn’t much more help. My mother would look at a photograph and try to guess who it was. What we figured out over a period of time, is how much some ancestors looked like others.

Calling out something silly like, “Everybody say Krabby Patties!” usually works on the little ones. Whatever it takes. If you get everybody to laugh then … Continue reading →
