January 7th: Scrap Therapy

Here's Mine

 

Mine is a happier take on Scrap Therapy as we are the happiest we have ever been here in my house all because of one very special little boy

 

Scrap therapy for me is scrapping about my family. Love 'em to pieces!

 

My Bible Study Fellowship lesson on Leviticus this week truly stirred my soul. I didn't expect it to be so meaningful. It felt so good to put it down on paper.

 

Love the colors and the page.

 

LOVE these pages!!!! one from me

 

Wow Everyone! These are amazing!!! My very first ever art journal scrap therapy type page - relieving work stress. Thank you for the challenge! I wouldn't have done it otherwise and it was actually kind of fun knowing it was just for me.

 

This challenge is rather ironic for me. Yesterday I decided that I needed to take a set of professional photographs I had done and use them for the MOC -- for therapeutic reasons. There was so much going on in my mind during that photo shoot and I want to record it. Now here is the challenge to do just that. (Not all the layouts have to be therapy-- it will be as much therapy scrapping about myself). Thing is now I want to do it perfectly. Anyway -- this is step one in my therapy. Putting it out there so I can get past it.

 

just like Arumrose...

 

Here is mine... My reasining for the page is I scrapped a bit into the "therapy" feel (but way clean and simple) for MOC #6 - my "WORRIES" layout. Those worries were still fresh in my head, so this layout represents what I wish. Hope that makes sense.

 

I wanted to spend hours and hours, but don't have that luxury

 

For me this challenge was to try and portray some of the overwhelming thoughts I have about being a mom and the great responsibility that comes with it. Especially with my little one, I see her carefree and blissfully happy in her own world and want her to be all she can, absolutely anything... Something that is so fundamental and easy to understand and yet so difficult to do!

 

Great challenge!! This was a great exercise for me!! Thank you!

 

Our daughter, who has autism-like behaviours and anxiety, got her 1st boyfriend at age 20. He was a manipulative, narcissistic abuser. He used her as a human incubator to create babies he said he wanted, used her to get him and his father an apartment (she paid) and then dumped her. He is completely evil. Her life is still in turmoil, as she's made some bad decisions and cannot seem to get her life on track, which is deeply affecting us, as she's living with us on and off for the last four years. You want to just kick her butt out (and we have!), but then she's our kid, so it's confusing. I just wish she could get on her feet and stay on them, so we can raise our youngest child (who is 10) without all the drama.

 

second day,, so hard
