This was a hard art piece for me but I ended up taking my inspiration from the flowers and the striped pieces in the art piece. Supplies:PP by Anna Griffin (xactoed flower)Ashford Linen by K&COAshford Floral by K&COChatterbox (journaling box)7Gypsies (striped)Fonts Typo Upright BT (title)and Times New Roman.Journaling:It would seem obvious to me that each generation of a family has one, for if we did not, how would we know where we came from, how could we feel pride in the accomplishments of our ancestors. They are The Story Tellers, the preservers of our past. In my family it is easy to identify the person who has been called to tell our story, it is my Mom. Without her, how would we know that we are living in the United States because our ancestor, John Cook shot a rabbit in the King’s Courtyard in England and fled the country in fear of prosecution or that Auntie Florence went trick or treating for the first time when she was 88 years old and came home with two candy bars, an apple and 15¢. Without her passion for genealogy and her ability to Tell The Stories that make each person come to life, I would be missing a huge part of who I am. The love, pride, time, and humor she has put into documenting our story will not only ensure that future generations will hear the story, but that they will have the opportunity to really know The Story Teller of our generation, my Mom. Thanks for the inspiration, Shelby and thanks for looking! Sue
