Friday's Faces From The Past - Ryan

Our grandnephew, Ryan, had the cutest photos made at his daycare. His daycare teacher brought the props and outfits and got these great photos. They were actually taken just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't have the original photos to make these digital scrapbook pages. They are cell phone photos of the originals. But I think I still managed to do some great digital scrapbook layouts of them. I so appreciate his teacher getting these photos and his mother, our niece, Jenny, for getting them to me in whatever form!

Treasure Chest Thursday - The Ring

Treasure Chest Thursday is a daily blogging prompt at Geneabloggers.com used by many genealogy bloggers to help them post content on their sites. To participate in Treasure Chest Thursday simply create a post with the main focus being a family treasure, an heirloom or even an every-day item important to your family.

My post this week is about my father-in-law's wedding ring. He married Stan's mother when she was just 16 and still in high school. They couldn't afford rings so he made this ring at work. It was made from a steel nut that he fashioned into the ring. He died at the young age of 56 years old with cancer. His mother gave Stan, her eldest son, the steel wedding ring and we passed it along to our nephew and her grandson, Luke Harris, when he got married. This was the ring Hannah put on his finger at their wedding. I made this scrapbook page about The Ring!
