 i wish you a wonderful week!

Scrap therapy

people are always curious of my reasons for doing so many 'me' pages.

it was not alway like that - when i first started scrapbooking i covered mostly trips, birthdays, events and the like but as time went on i discovered that i loved scrapping more about my heart and soul, about my emotions and my life journey and about the every day little things. i am not big on writing so my layouts take the place of a journal. a visual journal that is.

all the 'all about me' layouts i create give me the opportunity explore feelings and get to know myself a little bit better. it's like putting my emotions on a page and turning them into art! i think it's a great way  to combine a passion and creative outlet with some therapy, don't you think?

been busy scrapping my heart out for sure!

here are last week's pages:

and my freebie today is to encourage you to do some pages about yourself - yes, some scrap therapy!!

repeated lines: this is me
