Are you making an Election Day layout?

I made one already. I was able to vote early. I took a selfie to send to my dd so I used that. I didn't think about making a layout of the outcome though. Maybe I should. It could include a selfie of me either crying or jumping in the air. Lol, JK.

In my 30 days album. Not a separate one. I have my kids in patriotic colors (their 4th of July clothing, except one kid is just in red, white and blue because I can't find his tee) and then plan on taking selfies with the husband later with us wearing our 'I Voted' stickers. Might even throw in a few pics of us eating pizza as we watch the results roll in.

Nope. But we've been known to grab the newspaper the next day and store it away. We also got dh's uncle's newspapers from Kennedy and other important events through history.

 That's super cool. Should make a great layout.

Love your signature. Big fans of Rich Purnell here. DS dressed up as him for Halloween last year. Easist costume ever - NASA tshirt and coffee cup.

Has anyone found any (non-biased) printables or cut-files to use? I'd like to create a somewhat "clean" layout. 

I was not going to make a LO. Watching the news story today of those who went to Susan B. Anthony's grave after voting made me want to do a LO. When I first registered to vote I carried a Susan B Anthony coin in my hand and held it as I registered. I did document that day. I want to document how important this day is historically. To the ladies who were at her grave today. Thank you for inspiring and empowering.

I'll include the election results in my PL spread like I have in past election years. Thanks for the download of your work rune2484

Just going to leave some wine (and hot cocoa for the non-drinkers), blankets and hugs for anyone who needs a bit of comfort after yesterday.

I think that you can still find a way to record this moment that doesn't stir up too many negative feelings. Like your own voting sticker, the pictures of the queue in the cemetary to leave the "I voted" sticker on Susan B. Anthony's tombstone, a headline/cover of a news outlet that resonates with your own feelings, a compilation of tweets and social media posts on the matter that speak to your soul, a simple word like kakocracy. But it may take a bit of time to heal and recover from the initial shock first... Best of luck, lovely Peas!

I did document it today. I am crying and in shock. I am not angry at all. I did some journaling about the world's reactions. I also wrote about how heartbreaking it was for women to not break the ultimate ceiling. I did write about how people are frightened. The reactions are history. I also wrote of hope I have for the next four years. I also wrote about my feeling too and how emotional the day was for me. This was a historical day and an election for both parties. I wanted to capture that.

Trust me I get it. I wanted to hide my PL book and bury it. Skip everything until December Daily. This election left a very bad taste in my mouth. I am in one of the States that had the most hateful campaigns. I did not cover very much election in my PL this year I wanted it to be over. It was a healing to write how I felt. I know I will love reading my entry again someday. I will probably smile and say "I can't believe how upset I was."

I will include voting early and the results of the presidential election in my PL album. Whenever the NC gubernatorial election is officially declared, I'll include that too. But an entire 12x12 for an election that left me with no real positive options for my country or state? Nope. Just going to continue to focus on the positive in my own little world or family, friends, and work and remind myself that I will be the change I was to see around me.

rune2484 That page is beautiful, but I'm wondering how you feel about it now that we know it was completely wrong...?
Not to get into a big old political discussion, but I'm curious if your documenting plans changed any after the result came through. Did you make another similar page showing how states actually voted?

I had to wait a day to write down anything about the result in my journal (which is also a kind of scrapbook) and all the things I had planned to document went out the window with the result. I'm not sure what I want to document and remember about this election, although I think it would be good to write a long reflection on the campaign, what I had hoped for, what actually happened, and how we all reacted to that. It might help to process the feelings.

I'm still processing my grief, finding myself near tears a lot of the time. I'm not sure how I will document election day now. My son, who lives in DC, wrote an amazing piece that he posted on Facebook. It's about understanding and accepting why so many people voted the way they did, and continuing to exercise our rights as citizens. I'll probably copy that for posterity. He is only 22, but very wise. It really helped.

On a somewhat related note, I'm so grateful for all of you here on the GS board. It's a real sh*t storm over on the NSBR. I really can't take it any more, and blocked a few peas for the very first time ever.
