Don’t forget to scrap the bad times
Our scrapbooks are full of happy, memorable, joyful events. We have many great photos of all the happy times of our lives. Few of us don’t think to document the bad times. So when thinking of your scrapbooking pages and albums, don’t forget the bad times. Remembeing a few years back, my husband was having some heart troubles, and a good friend telling me not to forget to scrap the bad times. We generally think of the good and happy times, when in reality we all have bad times. It is these situation that really define our lives.
These particular scrapbook pages included some of the different types of doctors that attended to my husband; cardiologist, electro physiologist, and his primary physician. Then there were the tests and procedures; stress tests, nuclear stress test, blood work, many EKG’s, and EEG’s, and then there was all the different prescriptions. Embellishments included doctor’s appointment cards, electrodes (from wearing the heart monitor), unused prescription cards, and heart stickers.
Within the hard times there are sometimes some humorous stories that could be journaled to accompany the photos. An example was when he was wearing his heart monitor, his students thought that it was an Ipod and were wondering what type of music he was listening too. Then there was the time we went to the beach and he had the 24 hour monitor on with the electrodes on his chest and stomach. He laid on the sand and was reading and didn’t realize until were got home and put on new electrodes that he had perfect round white circles on his chest.
So don’t forget to scrap the bad times next time you are scrapbooking, whether it be broken bones, the loss of a family member or friend, whatever it may be. My son hid his under-aged drinking citation because he knew what I was thinking! Visit me at http://myscrapbookingpageideas.blogspot.com for additional scrapping ideas.
About the Author
I have been married for almost 21 years and have two mostly grown sons. They are the subjects of most of my scrapbooking. I admire albums that have the pretty “girl” colors , but my family is mostly about the “guys”. We have wonderful pages of fishing, football, basketball, and hunting.
Over the last few years I have been looking for a way to share my love of the craft with others.
