Journal prompt: Where do you come from?

Happy Journaling Prompt week!  Traci here with this week's thought provoking inspiration.

I remember the day I found a stack of papers in my mom's big jewelry box.  They were photocopies of all kinds of family history documents.  That's when the desire to know where I come from was born.  Since that time, I have joined websites, spent hours in libraries and latter day saints history centers, written emails all over the world (and have even flown to Ireland, New York, New Jersey...), and called to bug anyone who might have a tidbit of information that would open a new door in my quest.

I think the family actually started to turn the other way and pretend they didn't see me when I pulled out my little pen and notebook or my tape recorder for interviews.

We sat with our kids on St. Patrick's Day and talked about our Irish ancestors, which led to pulling out photos and those old photocopies and led me to renew my membership at ancestry.com where I spent a few days doing research.

And here we are.  I want to know where YOU come from.  Not your whole family tree, but a tidbit, a nutshell of a branch, any information you want to share that tells us where you come from.

This week we're playing for goodies from Michelle and Kate!

Hey everyone! Peppermint here to announce my winner from last week's "crazy time" challenge.  I chose tali's layout about her lotion dependency because I liked how she used the jittery stitches and borer and how even her journaling seemed very panicked and neurotic. I got the total mood from her page.  LOL

So tali - shoot me an email at peppermint2go (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll get your coupon codes to you pronto!

Thanks for playing everyone!

Journal Prompt: Crazy Time!

Happy Monday, everyone! Peppermint here with your new challenge. We're heading straight to CrazyTown, population: You! Sure, we all put on a front like we keep it all together, but deep down inside you know as well as I do that you have at least one not-so-rational habit. This week I want you to scrap about something superstitious and/or neurotic that you do (or someone else does) and the motivation behind it, whether it's superstition, a bad experience or just unadulterated craziness.
