Holy Crop
I am a scrapbooker.
I love each step involved - taking photos, sorting photos (well, okay, maybe that's not my favorite step), working with supplies, designing the layout and journaling the memories or thoughts - just the whole creative process.
Did I mention buying scrapbooking supplies? I used to enjoy that, but I'm now on a 12-step program.
Scrapbooking is my centering activity, and my stress relief. It makes me blissfully happy and serenely calm. Somehow, looking at photos of my beautiful, funny children and my loving, intelligent husband let me appreciate them anew. Even when they've been beastly and I'm full of anger and resentment (more often than any mother wants to admit), scrapbooking allows my heart to open, and return to place of adoration, patience and above all, gratitude.
This is a big scrapbooking month for me. Let the bliss begin.
