Happy Easter

I was scanning some things of my Great Grandpa Mackay's today and found this great card. Happy Easter! The ink in the background is metallic.

Finally finished THAT project... #2

Some may remember that I had a skirt made out of my Grandpa Mackay's old work shirts that was pretty cool but very poorly crafted. I think I made it when I was in high school. I ripped it beyond repair last year (when I was running in between the half-hour dance party and one of the Suns playoff games that I was watching in the Amanda Knight Hall) and had to make a new one. This one is way better. I'm not sure if it is just because my grandpa is bigger or if I just perfected my shirt to skirt technique. I'm sure I could run anywhere in this one and it wouldn't rip.

Family History

I'm trying to learn how to do family history. One thing I have learned is there are a lot of different ways you can work on it. I am currently scanning a bunch of pictures and documents in a couple of binders from my Grandparents Mackay. Mostly about my Great Grandparents Mackay. They have some cool stuff.

My Great Grandpa Alfred Duncan Mackay used to be a gardener at Windsor Palace. He made the Queen's personal corsages. This are invitations addressed to him, the Royal Gardener. Gorgeous handwriting. Not his, although his is also amazing.
This is a letter with his handwriting:

No one writes like that anymore.

My Great Grandpa Mackay lived until he was 106. He was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 99 and went through the temple at 100. Here is a Church News article about him:
