Kristina Jonsson photobook


 My mother always told heard that her great grandfather Johannes Jonsson was a sailor, but another source I read actually said that Johannes Jonsson was a baker. I'm interested to know what is true. He was a good man but had an alcohol problem and Petronella finally asked him to leave.

Inexpensive Photobook with PicMonkey

 Lately I've started on a project to put make my family history photos and stories more accessible to my kids.  I started making shutterfly book a few years ago, but kept putting off finishing it because I hoped to collect more pictures and had a hard time deciding the layout.  I decided for now to make a smaller, editable version using 4x6 prints and $1 store photo books.  That way I can rearrange and add photos and stories as I collect them, but keep them organized by family lines.  Here are the potential cover pages of my project that I designed for free on picmonkey. Which style do you prefer?
