I try and try to scrap only light good fun things but it always come back to scrapping from the heart for me.
I was challenged in Treasured Scrapbooking to scrap an old school pictures this week. Well to be quite Frank, I don't have any. I was raised in sort of a commune like environment and not put in school let alone having school pictures taken. Plus my parents decided they did not want to keep our pictures so my dad bagged them up and got rid of them all. Passing them on to siblings they did not belong to and I did not get mine. So I literally have like 4 or 5 pictures that I stole from my "mom" and scanned.
So when people ask me to scrap my childhood or school picture I nearly faint LOL
I pulled out this picture (the only one I could find that was not a baby) And I got to thinking....You know what? I don't even remember this picture or the event even. Clearly it is a birthday or Christmas party but I have no clue...so that brought me to this.
Journaling says...
When your abused your entire childhood all the good moments are erased one by one. I can see this is a good moment. A birthday perhaps or Christmas? But honestly I can not remember this day OR any other birthday before I was 20. Do you remember??
Then You are BLESSED~
I don't think I sound bitter or angry, it's just a mystery to me. And if your blessed with a childhood than don't take it for granted because some of us have none.
So once again I feel scrapping is a great way to think through problems and use it as therapy! LOL
OH and its my FIRST Cardboard LO! woohoo!
This is another LO I did yesterday....my boys first FARM visit.
