Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I was wondering if anyone else here has started a breast cancer scrapbook? I am starting one of my own to also do some journaling in, add pictures of my hairless beauty :-), my hats I have been making, and well wishing cards from people. I had a friend from Church who had Hodgkins 12 years ago and she said she only had one pic of her bald head and wished she had had the foresight to take more so she could look back now and say " Look how far I've come! " It has been thereputic for me so far. Love and prayers, Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Yes indeed! One of the very first things that my partner started was what we call 'cancer days in bed' pictures. She would lie in bed with me watching t.v. or reading and then just snap away. We have some of the most outrageous pics that are priceless, including my cat who likes to attack my covers everytime I move. ha ha She also created a sign in picture paper out of butcher paper and two buckets of markers. That way visitors, anyone, including her, can sign or draw whatever their imaginations can come up with. It's quite hilarious to see some of the things that are up there hanging on our bedroom wall. We're actually ready to turn the page as the first one, which is 4' by 3', is full! Since we have no car and take the bus everywhere(dread dread) we even take pics of things we do in public. It is great fun and helps keep my spirits up, especially when I am lying in my bed and get to see my 'picture paper' smiling down at me. I also do some journaling as well throughout this journey. I will have all of these things to remember as well as to remind me that I have the strength to make it thru! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine. carol > > I was wondering if anyone else here has started a breast cancer > scrapbook?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 What a great idea, I wish I had thought of doing a scrapbook of befores and afters.. I had so much help and visitors that it would have been great to look back on.. for the good and the bad times.. its still part of our life!!! I will have to start thinking more PHOTO's as i move ahead, I am a scrapper anyways, but am very very very behind in it! Michele carol102163 ccjude@...> wrote: Yes indeed!
