Re: not coping

i hope so @Snowie just waiting on 2 more reports now and i should have them by the end of the week thankfully

theres not really anything involved. just a scrapbook and well stickers and tape and pictures. everyone does them differently. i watch one on facebook where she takes requests for different themes and shes really clever in what she comes up with.

the pack i just got has hundred of stickers, moasic papers, tape, lace, stings, inspirational cards, stickers in different shapes like bird cages and vintage type stuff.

im not sure if im going to pick specific themes or maybe i might use my own photos and base the theme off each photo. i often take pics of the adventures i do though its not many mostly just walks but i have a feeling most of mine will be nature themed as thats one of my favourite things esp when out walking

Re: not coping

I think you are not wrong @outlander You can go with any theme you feel that you want too. Maybe those might change over time depending how you are feeling at that stage.

It's a good hobby to have.

Re: not coping

its good cause i think scrapbooking is a pickup put down hobby. doesnt really require any commitment, just do as i feel like as well. my self harming has been increasing alot so i am going to give it ago in hopes that itll not only help fill the day but also when the urges come i can do something productive and make something nice instead

Re: not coping

Any thing that can try to keep us busy is a good thing @outlander especially if it helps with your SH.

Hopefully you don't have to wait too long for all of it to come.
