Challenge 4 - Papercraft Junkies

This week is Melissa's (ME!!!!!) turn to pick a subject - 'Who are our family?

I love my MIL to bits and have made her a journal and journal jar to record memories in. This idea of this came from wondering about her life many years ago, wondering what she got up to when she was younger. So i devised a plan and made this jar full of questions for her to answer in the journal, she can pic one out stick it to the page and journal about it! In 30/40 years time my kiddies will know the answers to these question and not have to wonder like i do.

I hope you can all join in with this challenge and find out who are our family?

It maybe an interview with an older member? and record it via a LO , or record your family tree, or even start a journal with your findings about your family .... the theme is open to all interpretations!

Come on pop along have a peep see what its all about and there is a fabby frize too :)
