My layouts for week 2 - I have found a simple template I love for this project, so here is last week's redone, plus the new one for this week.
Many thanks to Hummie at HummiesWorld for this template.
I have had an interesting time with photos this week, including learning some skills for taking self-portraits through a mirror and using my tripod and self timer. I still cannot get the smile right on cue for the self-timer flash- either too forced from holding it for 10 seconds, or just missing altogether.
One of my hobbies is family history researching. Great news this week was the on-line release of the 1911 UK census images - 2 years earlier than expected.
I hoped it would help solve the biggest mystery of my research- the whereabouts of Sidney Edward Hill,(or Sydney) born in London between 1856 and 1859, parentage and place unknown, married in London (certificate found) and migration to Australia, Boer War service, occupation, voting in Australia (all recorded). The last known was that he might have returned to UK in 1907-1908, but no death has been found for him. And no, he wasn't on the 1911 census either. So the mystery continues.
Still, I found images of several other family lines, but nothing unexpected yet.

I think your layouts are looking wonderful...I'm behind....need to get a few photos taken and put up for the rest of this week and do another layout.
I miss genealogy...haven't had time.
