Scraps of Color Heritage Blog Hop

I'm participating in the Scraps of Color Heritage Blog Hop.  I, along with some talented crafters, have teamed up to bring you our memories and our history crafted with paper. A blog hop isn’t complete without blog candy and we have a nice prize awaiting you.  To be eligible for the prize drawing you must visit all the blogs participating in the hop and leave a comment on each blog.  One lucky winner will be randomly drawn from all that leave comments.

For my history,  I did a layout about our family's visit to the Wye Plantation, which is the plantation that my ancestors worked as slaves.




If you click on the layout, you will get an enlarged version, then click again and with the little magnifying glass  you will be able to read the journaling.

Here's the list of all the blogs participating in the hop.

Gemiel Mathews - Gemiel's Gems

Cheryl Lucas Stewart - ...And That's All She Wrote

Raquelle Clifton - Count Your Blessings

MyraB - Maganda Memories

Danah NiCole - Memories With Style


Please visit them and remember to leave a comment to be eligible for the prize drawing.  Thanks so much for hopping along with us.
