... and I am sooooo proud of myself for having finally completed a project. Lately, I've been quieter than usual - not because I stopped scrapping, but because I was scrapping a lot of personal pages. Well, mostly, revamping the already existing pages by adding personalized journaling/names/dates/places, replacing/resizing photos to show more detail... proofreading... lol... in other words, doing all the work that must go into preparing an album for printing. And yesterday, my completed album - a Christmas gift to my parents - has arrived - and I'm very - VERY - happy with the result.
I'm not going to lie, it feels good to hold it in my hands and know that my hobby is not just something I spend hours doing, but also something that brings joy to my family. It felt good to scrap with a purpose - recently, I've been trying to scrap more in the art journaling style - and although I enjoy creating those layouts, there is a little voice inside my head urging me to stop exploring my feelings and just start doing. The irony of the fact that while scrapping those practical pages, I DO need to relive the events and process my emotions notwithstanding.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my joy with you on this Sunday morning and see if anyone can relate...
