Lost memories of Father.

I started on another mini album last Wednesday.I wanted to create a collaborative book this time... According to Ali Edwards, in her book- Sharing your story... Collaborative books include others opinions, views, and feelings... it is something you can create together with family members or friends...

I really wanted to make a book about Father. Especially a book detailing part before and part after cancer. I think it is an important process for all of my family members to add something into the page... so that we can have a fuller and more complete picture of what happened... so that we can remember him together... I think we all need something like this... to help us cope with someone's passing.

Initially, this was how the album started...





I added a pocket to this book, so that we can keep some items that reminds us of him safely. This pocket was created from Donna Salazar's Crafty Chronicle that I won from Scrapoholics some weeks ago.







We have been spending these few days talking about Father... and asking each other questions to fill up this book... Its going great. The mini book is divided into 3 parts- First part documenting fond memories of him, and of how he battled cancer, second part, the pocket, and thirdly, pages where each of us will journal about him.








I think in scrapbooking, its important to create something meaningful for ourselves, and that the process of creating from the heart should always be the ultimate outcome.
Thank you for visiting...scrap to your heart's desires...
