Well, it’s Carnival time again. Carnival of Genealogy that is!
The topic this time is: What traits run in your family? Which of them did you inherit? Do you have your mother’s blue eyes? Your grandfather’s stubbornness? Your aunt’s skill with knitting needles? Is there a talent for music in your family? Or do you come [...]

Well, another day, another project!
So, I have been busy lately with a new project. I’ve been trying to slowly sort through all my pictures. It’s been a very interesting process. I never really realized how many pictures I have! I have tons of them!
