Alphabet Game - CEMETERY

[Cassel]

 

In November, our monthly theme is CEMETERY.

It might be a strange theme, but interestingly, it has inspired many people to do scrapbook pages. Maybe it is to honor ancestors, discover history, or document one major event in any family: the passing of a loved one.

This might be a bit challenging to find words that start with the various letters of the alphabet, but maybe we can think of different elements that we could find in a cemetery, decorative element on tombstones, etc. If we we are stuck on one letter, after 24 hours, let's skip it, ok?

Let's go!
