Well, I guess you could say my treasure this week is a mix of old and new.
A newly constructed project showing generation after generation of our girls' family tree.
Sarah's mission was to document her family tree for a Girl Guide badge. And what fun we had! She wanted to work on it every chance we had. It became a great way to spend our free afternoons while dinner simmered, stewed or baked away.
Some branches of the family have been researched more than others so our information was a little limited in places. But with more time, phone calls and reading the published family trees tucked away in our parents' cupboards, we could no doubt add even more.
Late one night I went in search of suitable photos to finish it off. The next morning, proud as could be, Sarah carted it off to school and then onto Guides the next day.
A treasure in many ways.
Be sure to visit Clare's craftroom to see what others hold dear.
Today I'm nursing a sore mouth that's adjusting to life without wisdom teeth. There's lots of sofa time, interspersed with little bursts of (slow) energy.
Have a great day whatever you're doing.

ReplyDeleteA lovely treasure. Sarah and you would both have learnt so much and spent time together as well. I'm sure she will always appreciate this project.
