About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
I know, I know, the heading is so sad. But that was the heading they used for the Newspaper article, so I just ran with it.
This is for the Sept 2020 Recipe Challenge where we have to use an ENTIRE Mini Kit!!
I have chosen to use the Vintage Memories Mini Kit by Jessica Dunn that was part of the May 2020 Good Life Bundle.
I have used parts of this mini kit before, but never the whole thing. It actually came out looking pretty good. Especially after I realised that I had mentioned this sad episode of my family in passing on other layouts, but I have never done the details. So these are the details.
Effie and Russell Thompson would have been my Great Aunt and Great Uncle, (my fathers aunt and uncle) if they had survived. Sadly they died in 1917, long before my father was born, let alone myself. You can read the newspaper article for the whole story.
I have included a link to the newspaper article which is saved to my Wikitree Family tree so that you can read the whole article. Effie and Russell's father was John Thompson. He was my great grandfather, and my fathers grandfather.

This is so sad. This is well done as a memorial to them.
That is a really sad story!
