Looks like a interesting contest to enter. I could post about the house that I grew up in that was boarded up last time I saw it. Thanks for visiting!
Sounds like an interesting contest. The heroine of my latest novel could write a fantastic story about 'That Old House' as she inherited an old house in Ireland which hid a few secrets from the past. Unfortunately I can't think of any old house that has featured in my own family history!
I'm so glad I saw this! My mom is seriously into geneology, and I will have to encourage her to enter. There are some great ideas on this blog. I'm your newest follower. :)
This sounds like a great writing experience/contest. I hesitate to even call it a contest! Just reading it makes me think of the houses in my past. Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I love the name of your blog and header picture... Thanks for stopping by my blog... Visiting via the A to Z challenge... :)
I think this is something I will try. I have a house in mind and usually it's the backdrop to my great grandma's story but it could actually have its own tale. Thanks for sharing.
