STRESS and SCRAPBOOKING

When my stress levels are out of control the one thing that really takes my mind off of everything is scrapbooking!!!  The past two weeks I have spent a lot of time at my scrapbook table and am now finished with my first book of 2015 ... January to end April.

I have just copied my first two weeks of May photos onto a stick so that I can have them printed.  Tomorrow evening I will start working on my outstanding pages for 2014.  Here are a few pages to share ...


On Saturday we scrapped at Leonie's house in Pretoria ... We took a little trip to the shopping centre close to her house where there is a Creative Talents ... I bought this paper and while looking through my ideas file I saw a layout and thought "that will be good for my paper" ... when I started working on this page I found that it was the same paper!  I love how this layout turned out.

While at Creative Talents I also got paper for my December challenge ... here are a few snippets ...

Unfortunately my flash wouldn't work along with me on this photo ...

This is the last page of Book 1 of 2015 which I finished about an hour ago ... I love this page!!!

      I am delighted that you have befriended them … Nats holds a very special place in my heart and you know how special you are to me so to know the two of you have gotten to know each other makes me VERY Happy.

    Strangely...when my stress levels are high and I am upset...my mind doesn't go quiet enough that I can focus on scrapping. Love your pages.

      I had a couple of months where I couldn’t scrap but then I picked myself up and once I got to my scrap table I found that the stress was a little less … Then getting into bed all the nightmares come back and I don’t sleep.

      Tonight I am going to do some work as I need to try and get on top of that … and then hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight.

      I am so happy with what all I have gotten done and I have done some really nice pages … I now need to print my May photos but in the meantime I can get to grips with what I haven’t done for 2014. I really don’t like being so far behind.

      Love you so very much and thanks for the comment on my pages.

    I get it. Robin and her friends say the same thing. We all need our ways to escape and relax.
