I've scrapped all about my kids life, and our lives together as a family, but haven't really got much in the way of previous history.

So......... I'm now working on a family history album of my own. I found a ton of questions online and answered them last year some time. Now I'm copy/pasting that journalling into a template album and finding photos from my childhood, teenage years, engagement, wedding, military life etc to go with it. It's coming together really quickly since I'm using THESE templates and it's not going to be embellished much. I've done 18 pages this week alone, but now I've come to the end of my journalling, so I have to write each page as it comes which will be much slower.

Have you done a personal history album of your childhood experiences? Maybe you could do that. Or collect family history from your parents or grandparents, and make albums that your kids can read when they're older. I'm realising that I know nothing about my mother's side of the family. Her parents died before I was born. If I don't get the information from her, I'll never get it, and my kids won't know them either.
