Scrapbooking... it's all in the journaling

I posted my last scrapbooking layout on the UK Scrappers site yesterday and a fellow member left the comment...

"This is great........I particularly love your journaling!!! After all, isn't the journaling and the photos what it's really all about?"

How right this lady is!

I wasn't sure about doing pages about my feelings towards my, for, or about my daughter because I wrestle with them in my mind and maybe I shouldn't make them public, in the way of a published scrapbook page layout!

But scrappers all over the world do, and actually after I read this lady's comment it reminded me that I enjoy reading other's inner most thoughts and feelings, and far from judging them harshly as I suspected I might be, I often feel a kindred spirit. Their journaling being somewhat moving emotionally.

So I made the decision that I will indeed do more pages about how I feel as there must be others out there who, like me, cannot "gush" over their offspring, or anything else for that matter.

I personally find it difficult to show my feelings, something I am working on, but maybe being honest on my pages with my journaling means I can use all those hundreds of pictures I have of my daughter, and maybe in time, when she is older, she will come to understand her mother a little better.
