A little nostalgia.....and a give away


I have some good intentions.
Really good.

I just never get to them.

The problem is that by the time I get to my other "list"
(the one that doesn't include my job, family, church calling, or home)
-I'm out of energy!

So.....
I thought a little mosaic would be a great way to work on organizing my genealogy and family histories (one of those goals).

These pictures are of my maternal grandfather Floyd.

(top left: his baby picture; top right with brothers- Frank, Dave, and Floyd;

And

It's a give away:

I'm hosting my niece Holly for a give away.
She just started a graphic design blog and is giving away a set of 10 of her cute note cards.
You can visit her shop
Mitchell Avenue Designs by Holly by clicking here.



If you would like to win the cards, just leave a comment on my blog.
We will close the contest on March 13th at midnight.

Have a good week!

JoAnn
