SLOW SCRAP CHAT 9/30 2PM EST | CLOSED-

I tried something different, hope it's what you meant about cut-up! and thanks for the chat, even with the trolls!

 
Ok, Cynthia- didn't expect this, but the challenge became therapeutic. I didn't know what photo to use, but chose a recent one of my parents. I couldn't scrap it right away because it was hard to see, it's been almost 3 years since I went up north. Dad is dealing with late stages of Alz, and I can't imagine the shock of the differences since last time. Then he would sit in his recliner and stare silently for long periods of time. It was sad. Since then, he has forgotten who my son is and son's family, and other extended family members. The great grey cloud is hovering. They NEVER argued in front of us kids. We never heard them raise their voices to one another. But sister tells me that has been happening- probably due to elevated frustrations and "not going gently into that night".I know the day of him forgetting me is near. That's also hard to imagine. Why the Lord allows this, I do not comprehend. But this is the first time I was able to really "look" at my feelings about them- they are slipping away, fading out of my life.Mom recently said she "has to stick around until 'someone else' passes". She is fighting depression.The initial pain of it is fierce, but there is a slow and steady current of peace beneath. I cried through the whole making of this page. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this inspiring challenge @MrsPeel! I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend the chat.
I've split a picture into 4 letters to create a title!

 
I think I'm on time with about 15 minutes to spare! I lost my first layout, photo splits and all. Was giving it up, but then I started one this afternoon.

 
Thanks so much everyone!!!!! O am closing this now, will sort out everything tomorrow, I still didn't manage to sleep, will try in a bit now. Happy DSD, we have the cha6t tomorrow with Christa, hope to see you there!!!!!
 
ok, my lovelies, I just sent you the participation coupon, I will go to your galleries tomorrow, the way my brain is right now I wont be able to express myself in the way you deserve!!!!!!
Thanks once again!!!!

@AJK Amanda.... I'm glad that it helped at least get through a creative process .... and, I know.
My husband has Multiple Sclerosis AND Dementia, he was diagnosed the MS when Sarita was 2.... he is only 55 now.... Sarita is 24 ...and yes, one needs a very very strong Faith when going through cruel diseases like it....
Huggzzz, as I sad, I am glad that at least was able to work as therapy of some kind.... funnily enough, what brou8ght me to scrap booking in the first place was because I wanted to make Sarita her years' books, for her to know her Dad was an amazing human being, husband, father, before the thing took over.......
Thanks for playing, once again :)

Ladies, thank you SO SO much for playing along, all your pages are beautiful, love seeing how everyone tales the idea and adapts, and in truth, I wish I had money to give extra to everyone..... I'm gonna give a GC to both @umyesh & @redplaid3 as I did say I would pick the most creative, outside the box split (I would be in trouble if it was to award the best page in general because ALL of you have done awesome pages!!!!!
Thanks so so much for playing with us, once again, love you with all my heart!!!!!!!
