I think my last gallery post here was in the 2019. It was at that time I took on the new adventure of starting my own business and I've had great success with it, however it took away that precious time I used for digital scrapbooking. My life came to a crashing halt last month when I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (Breast Cancer). I've just finished my 2nd round of Chemotherapy and finding myself turning once again to scrapbooking to help me through this time. Back in 2018/2019 I was just beginning to experiment with Art Journaling here at the Lilypad and I'm going to try and dust off those skills to help me on my Journey to fight this cancer. I look forward to reconnecting with old scrapbook friends and meeting all the new faces here.
Welcome back to scrapbooking and to TLP. May you find solace and perspective in the creative outlet that art journaling can provide. Sending you hugs and healing thoughts.
Welcome back, Michelle! I'm rooting for you and your fight against Breast Cancer! I hope the treatments go well and you are surrounded by support! I hope that AJ gives you a great outlet too. I remember you from your "head" in your signature. I think that was an MOC challenge, and the Disney Ears were clever!
Welcome back. Big hugs and healing vibes on your journey with breast cancer. Hopefully the art journal therapy will ease your thoughts a bit.
@DisneyMom Hi Michelle! I'm so glad to see you here with us again. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma at the very end of June 2020. Scrapbooking has definitely helped me sort through my feelings. I know it can help you do the same. Don't hesitate to send me a private convo if you need to chat. ((HUGS)) I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Thank you Cheryl. I'm glad to be back scrapbooking again, it's been way too long. Although I wish the circumstances that brought me back were different. Sorry to hear you have gone through the same thing as I am now, I will reach out when I need to chat - Thank you.
Hi Michelle, Thinking all the positive thoughts for your health and wellbeing, welcome back to the Pad. Creating is such a therapy isn't it, please let us know if there's anything at all you need! I have lots of experience with Mixed Media and AJ scrapping etc.
Welcome back, Michelle. I'm sending you lots of cyber hugs and good vibes as you go through your journey. I KNOW that Art Journaling has helped me very much and I look forward to seeing your pages.
Welcome back Michelle. I hope you cope well with the treatments and come out of this with good health. Digital therapy definitely helps with our emotional struggles.
Welcome back. I hope scrapping gives you the outlet you need while you're kicking that cancer to the curb! ((((hugs))))
Welcome back Michelle. Glad you are scrapping with us. We are here for you in thoughts and prayers too as you beat this.
Happy to see you back! And the Art Journaling forum will be back up & ready to go with new challenge inspiration in March too!
Welcome back! Sure wish it was under different circumstances, but I really hope that the art journaling can help you process all the feelings that I'm sure you're going through right now!
