I do scrap bad stuff - when it's personal I find scrapping very therapeutic. In the past I've looked back at those pages I've created and realized how things have changed - or how far I've come.

I recently scrapped this page of our grandson - (sprained foot and Influenza A at the same time ... poor little guy was miserable when his daddy snapped this photo)

here are a couple 'emo' pages from me:

These are amazingly poignant, Laura. I love how you've captured these memories.
Something that my mom once said, really brings this point home. She was talking about never hearing her parents argue (not that they didn't argue, they just didn't do it in front of the kids). Then, when she got married, and it wasn't easy, and they were fighting, she didn't know how to handle. She thought that because her parents never fought, and she and her husband were fighting, something was really wrong. I think pages like this show that we aren't perfect, or the situation isn't always easy.

Scrapping is therapy to me. I occationally scrap the bad stuff or just the frustrated feelings.
Mostly I do a journaling page without too many photos, as I rarely have photos of my worst moments.

Here are some of my inner thought and ramblings turned into great pages.

I’ve had a rough few months and I have scrapped some of it but I haven’t and probably won’t ever upload to the gallery.
It helped me immensely when I was scrapping it but it’s not something I want to share with the world so to speak.

I have found that scrapping the hard times can be so therapeutic. I've also made some strong resolutions while scrapping difficult times... resolutions that have led to big changes. So, ultimately, scrapping those pages was very important in my life. I label them as AAM and put them in a separate photo book when I print. I don't mind if my family reads them someday. However, I don't share stories that aren't mine to share.
