Hi there !

I have a sick little munchkin here at home that won't let me do anything and i myself am starting to feel bad : sore throat, blocked nose... No doubt ! Autumn has arrived ! I've almost forgotten that i was responsible for this week's Mixed Bad Monday Challenge ! Oops ! Hopefully i live on a different time and was able to post in time ! ;)

This week i want you to do a little scrap therapy ! Just because life isn't always all fun and games i challenge you to scrap a sad or difficult period or event in your life, or something embarrassing you're not particularly proud of.

I'm pretty sure you all have something in mind... So i hope it will boost participation ! ;)

**please use your discretion and do not post things that are utterly inappropriate and please do not identify people in a negative manner without their consent**

Please note that you don't absolutely have to use a photo if it's too painful. Use journalling to replace it and try to make your page as positive as can be. Use bright colors, doodles etc... Make it attractive so that other people want to take a peek at it and read your story.

As an example, just look at that LO i've created using my Grandma's very last pic. Do you see how i've made my page fun and happy despite the tragical circumstances ?! It was difficult and painful but let me tell you how happy i am that i managed to scrap this priceless pic ! :)

One more example for your inspiration with this LO by Mint Chick Cindy ! I love the touching journalling and how she used pics of her DD with her dog to remember the happy moments she spent with her ! What a beautiful tribute !

I know ! This week's challenge is very different from what we usually scrap ! But there's always something positive to learn from misfortune and you don't have to scrap something dramatic such as death if you don't feel confortable !

C'mon Biggi, i know you can do it ! Don't be shy ! Nobody will judge you anyway ! We are a family here ! ;)
Hope you're feeling better soon, too bad for your holiday ! :furious:

Here's mine:

Never scrapped about the accident before. We don't look at these photos a lot. My husbands father took them (on auto-pilot I guess) when I called him about the accident and where it happened. My parents in law where there within 10 minutes.
