Still here ... just got a little sidetracked

Some of you may (or may not) have noticed that I haven't been blogging as much this month.  Well, that's because I found a new addiction.  Not to worry - it won't shouldn't take too much time away from my genealogy research.  In fact, it should complement it quite nicely.


What is it, you ask?


Scrapbooking!!  (How hardcore am I?)


Oh, yes.  Because one cannot have too many hobbies, right?


But I didn't stop there.  No, no.  I went ahead and started a new blog too!  I can hear your heads shaking.  Stop it.


Seriously though, I can see this adding some interest to my written family history, and hopefully can help me get to "know" some of my ancestors in the process.


Here are the first three pages I created: a two-page spread for my paternal grandfather's time in WWII, and a one-page spread for my paternal grandparents' lives together.  These are on my other blog, but I'll post them here also.

I'm currently working on my maternal grandfather's page(s) and hope to have that done by the end of the week (at least that's what this weeks' goal list says).


Eventually, I expect I'll find a healthy balance between my now-dueling pastimes.  In the meantime, this scrapbooking thing is FUN!

Do we share any ancestors?
