2nd to last reminder..."Genealogy 101"

Gals,

I'm going to bug you, plain and simple. Tomorrow evening (April 13th 7:00PM) is our April Permian Basin Jewels (PB&J) Paper Crafters meeting. Our subject: Genealogy 101. What does genealogy have to do with paper crafting? Well if you do any scrapbooks of family members that have already passed on you are doing archival scrapbooking. Archival scrapbooking can be dramatically enhanced with a touch of knowledge about genealogy.

It can be downright boring to have an album, even a scrapbook without a clue to who is who and who did what. Add some journaling and even some bits a pieces you've found while looking for your ancestor's life history and you've got a best seller.

Beverly Wait from the Midland Genealogical Society will be our guest speaker. She will be presenting "Genealogy 101" and will even have handouts so you can take your new found knowledge and actually apply it to your scrapbooking.

I'm asking all you gals who attend to bring a dozen cookies. Barnes and Noble has a wonderful coffee cafe and you can get either a cup of tea, coffee or a cold beverage to quench your thirst. This is our way of supporting them as they offer free meeting space to us.

I have a bunch of goodies for our door prizes and want to invite all of you to come, bring friends and make this an unforgettable meeting.

• What: PB & J Paper Crafters April Meetin
• Where: Barnes & Noble, Midland, TX
  
• When: April 13th, 2010 7:00PM

Permian Basin Jewels Paper Crafters April Meeting

Time is passing and I'm playing catch up. Next Tuesday (April 13th) is our monthly meeting and it promises to be a great one. Beverly Wait will be presenting "Genealogy 101". Many of you are creating archival scrapbooks in memory of some family member that has passed on. Finding information about family members can be a real challenge if you don't have someone who can fill in all the details. Beverly will give us the basics of connecting with records and information regarding ancestors who have gone on before us.

We will be meeting at Barnes & Noble in Midland, TX at 7:00PM back in the cookbook section of the store.

I am asking all the gals to bring a dozen cookies (or something similar). I will be providing some fun door prizes. I am also bringing our monthly printable CD so reserve yours now. I've included a huge selection of scrapbook papers, embellishments as well as some beautiful family trees that can be filled in and added to scrapbooks. The CDs are $5.00 to cover the cost of the cd, envelope and labels. I will print off samples and share them at the meeting. I have burned 10, but if you want one I suggest you email me and reserve them as they always sell out.

If you want more information you can reach me at cerwelt@gmail.com.

Please feel free to invite all your friends who love scrapbooking or genealogy. Men are welcome too! This is an open meeting so come one, come all!
