Are you a scrapbooker or a journaler? Have you found solice in writing about your illness journey? The experience of living with illness Can have its ups and downs, but a scrapbook is a wonderful way to reflect on what God is teaching you through it all.

Each journal is 8x8 and comes with 20 pages filled with overlays/transparencies, designed by Lisa Copen. After designing this kind of album for adoptive moms, she began to realize how fulfilling it would be to be able to record all the ways God has given her special friends, scriptures, moments of peace (and a few of turmoil!)

The books are beautiful. Choose from Navy or a Mulberry cloth album. The overlays are already in the pages. Just add colorful paper (or they look good in black and white) and then put your thoughts, writings, stickers, whatever, behind the overlay for a beautiful book.

We have 2 volunteers who are currently "doing" their albums and we will post some of the pages as examples. We've also set up a Yahoogroups that should be functional by March 15th. The 2 leaders will answer questions or help you in any way with your scrapbooking of your illness. Sign up here.
