The Family Wagon

The Family Wagon 

My mother recently uncovered a photograph of the ACTUAL wagon that brought her family from Eastern Tennessee shortly after they lost EVERYTHING during the Civil War (those darn Yankees anyway!) I am planning my next ebook centering around those who are in the picture!

This picture was taken probably around the mid 1940s. Can you believe that wagon was still around then???

Here is the picture, I will continue the story in another post.

Gifting a Personalized Ebook

Happy Birthday to you...  What about creating a "Sweet 16" Book for your daughter or granddaughter?  Use pictures of birthdays and birthday cakes. Give a rundown of her favorite things that year.  Did she love Barney or Dora the Explorer?  What was her favorite toy? Favorite color?  We all change throughout our lives.  I know my favorite color changed from year to year, and I enjoyed different music from my early years to my teen years.  Wouldn't it be nice to create a book that wasn't just the "baby years" but grew along with your child?  Give her something that is personal and means something for a birthday gift?

Family Heirlooms


So recently a friend showed me her engagement ring and told me the story of how many generations used it for their engagement ring until the next generation of ready for it.  That got me to thinking.... What about an ebook telling the journey of that ring?  Tell who used the ring, how many children did that couple have? How many years were they married?  Accompany each generation of a wedding picture or marriage certificate depending on what was available?

This really got me thinking that it would be wonderful to have a necklace or bracelet or ring.  Something that I could someday pass down to a daughter-in-law or a grandchild.

Family Heroes Ebook

Recently I created an ebook about the Heroes from my family history.  I included pictures of the mustarding out records of one ancestor, I also included the photos of my grandfathers in the servicemen uniforms.  It is my pleasure to share the screen shots now with you.
