Stronger

What a stunning artsy scrapbook layout

Oh wow!! I would definitely say that you are strong!! This is so beautiful and so creative! I love all the gorgeous paint and your creative use of the word strips!

oh, my dear girl, been there, done that, got the (many!!!) t shirts!!! I do know, I swear, I KNOW about the pain. MY frier was diagnose about 10 years ago, but I started my life confronting pain, was born paralysed, only walked aged 5, had 9 operations from betroth to 8 years old..... powered through life and was considered a miracle o0f my parents faith and determination as doctors told my parents I would never walk,. I wasn't allowed to dance, ride horses or ride a bike without support wheels (which made a Bit of a task for bullies as a kid) not even go up any sets of stairs....but not only I went through it but at 12 I broke with al, doctor's rules and did it all.... when I was 16 I started having horrible knee pain, our family doctor said" Take aspirin- with time we will give you anti-inflammatories- but not now- this is all because of your congenital condition, but don't worry, there is an operation that is now on experimental phase (this was 1974) but it will be routine when you need it) And he was right, the operation was a routine procedure and I was lucky enough to live in the area of University College of London Hospitals, one of the best in England & in Europe..... but, such is my luck..... the op went completely wring. Then over the next 3 years they operated 4 more times that failed to fix the initial error...from that I got the diabetes, high blood pressure, they "overlooked" a viral infection in my heart (for over a year they told me it was all in my head, it was the peri menopause or some like that-) then some almost 10 years later they diagnosed me with Heart Failure, which in turn gives me issues with my kidneys, I also have anemia, and a few other things, have been through many off the testing you have (and , again, I KNOW!!!!!) I have an issue with the bone density scans...the minute the saline solution is injected in my arm, am back to the operating room and start crying endlessly....) I also have neurological issues which make me need help to read and write, and I haven't been much around the past few years as I have had issues with my arms and hands, waiting for some tests but my I'm quite sure they will rule is either Rheumatoid Arthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis.... there is more, but I dont want to unload more on you, the point is to try to give you the picture so, if you need to vent or chat or just a bit of mindless laughter..... we are here. MY scrappers friends have been, especially the past 10 years here, The Lilypad's family, a force that helps me every day to power through..so, if you feel it can help, drop me a line any time....and welco0me to The Pad's family, not sure if you have been here long or not, but I noticed your pages in the past week or so, maybe 2, that I am able to be around again around my beautiful chosen scrap family
The page is marvellous, THANK YOU for sharing with us, the composition is beautiful, love your shadows, the way you used the cut out..... absolutely gorgeous, in that way our scrapping makes magic and turns ugly events o0r things, feeling that are low, into the most beautiful art pieces...
Into the MARCH Froggy Faves!!!!
