Family History and Cookbook

Last year I made a family cookbook and history with old family pictures and the family tree. It took quite a few months, if you include all the time I spent scanning and researching old pictures and the family tree on ancestry.com.    My father was one of seven siblings, and I have at least one of their recipes and an old photo page for each.  I created this book on my computer, using Scrapbook Factory Software.  After I printed and bound the books I added embellishments, just like I would in a scrapbook.  I only printed 15 copies and have given all but one away to family.  Everyone’s is different with the embellishments, I personalized them according to whom I was giving that book to.  The pages below do not have any added embellishments.

I hope you enjoy my family cookbook and I hope it inspires you to create one of your own.

Thanks for visiting with the Fairy Grandma!
