Ok....oh my gosh... Ok.... Oh my gosh. I won something! I never win anything. No really... I don't. I'm always the last person called at any kind of raffle when the last thing left is a free pen.
A huge big thank you to Iffy at Stay At Home Nation and Ancestry.com! I just won a year long premier membership to Ancestry.com. My family and I are always looking to find new information on ancestors and sharing it with other relatives. I find it completely fascinating when you can find another family member or more info about the ones you already knew about. I had one of their trial memberships before but after it ran out, I just daydreamed about it.
This awesome wall of family photos is at my mom's house. Even though they moved once , the photo wall went up again at the new house. It wouldn't be right without it. It's not all fancy and artsy but that's my history right there, all sitting together. Now, I get to find out as much as I can about them. Pretty cool.
Iffy always has great giveaways and a linky party that I have had the pleasure of being featured on. She's getting ready to rock this fall with all kinds of cool posts.
Check out Iffy's blog for bloggy coolness ( like naked Barbie cover ups LOL ) And check out Ancestry.com for anything you've ever wanted to know about your family. The trial membership is so cool you'll want to keep digging for more info. And you know, now you will be seeing some family history type posts coming up in the future so stay tuned.
( I was not paid at all for this post. I was just so excited to win that I couldn't help it )
congrats on winning! that is something I would love to win too. I'm interested in ancestry but can't really justify paying for it, you know? I hope you find out interesting stuff!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, Dara! That's why I did the free trial before. they do have a few free things through the year though.
DeleteI love that wall!! I have a small collage that my mom made of my family, but I hope to extend that wall as time goes on. Congrats on the win!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do love the family wall. I'll have to take a picture of my small family/friend wall some time to compare. But it's alot smaller as well.
DeleteLove the Happy Bomb! I can't wait to see what you come up with all the info you collect & yes those pictures are amazing(I love old photos!) Congrats again!
