Do you

I do, Tammy.
The one project that I am currently doing is scrapping all those photos I did not get to scrap during Covid, while my kids and I were stuck at my home country far away from Lan. I am scrapping monthly pages for the kids, so that, one day, they can look back and say 'hey, we were there, we went through hell, but we survived.'

I printed a Shutterfly Covid Scrapbook...I need to bring it out and flip through. I still need to complete our 2020 PL album though.

I absolutely do scrap EVERYTHING -- it is how I process the big, sad, traumatic things. Some of my family think it is odd, but I feel scrapbooks should be authentic and I think we have enough "social media" perfect out there

So true! I am working on this bc of this thread :thumbup:
 
This is my gigantic homework to do... printing all those pages I've made.
It's so expensive to do Shutterfly print (mainly due to the shipping!), but it's the one that I love the quality the most.

Last year, I directed The Addams Family musical. The student playing my Morticia lost her father about a week before auditions. She threw herself into the role, but I worried about the macabre nature of the show. There's literally a song in it called "Death is Just Around the Corner." The whole experience made me realize that it is OK to lean into the dark side - the grief and sadness - as long as you have loved ones around to pull you back into the light. It's OK to live in both words, because that is what life is. Light and dark. My Morticia told me the experience of playing her during that time was very comforting and healing. I think scrapbook the sad stuff is a lot like that.

Thank you for sharing this story. I'm so glad that your Morticia was able to find healing in the role!
