QueenScraps Challenge

Laura from www.queenscraps.com has been challenging us all month with various things. This week she has a very special challenge that I had to share with the world!

She posted this today at the Shanty…

I received a PM on another board that I visit about fellow poster whose one year anniversay coming up of her daughter and grand-daughters death in a car accident. The PM asked if we could send her cards and well wishes as she deals with this difficult time in her life. So that got me thinking about my own difficult times and how I remember them. I don’t have a single thing memorializing a sad or traumatic time in my life. I tend to focus on the happier times (which I’m sure most of us do).

So my challenge this week is to pick something in your own life that has happened that you wouldn’t normally scrap about. You do not have to post these layouts since they are going to be especially personal - but of course I would love to see what you come up with.

I did a layout about my divorce last year and how the change has affected me. I did this for my youngest daughters album since it was her father and I. I plan to do something similar for my older two children about the split up with me and their father. It felt good to get my thoughts out of my head and onto paper.

Post here when you’re finished and I’ll put your name into the drawing!

So be sure to get your layout done and post that you have it complete, share if you wish, but definately tell the stories of the hard times in your life too!
