Bible Journaling & More
I have been seeing blips & peeks the past few months on Bible Journaling & decided it was past time I did some art in my Bible & make my studies more personal.
Before I got to journaling, I had a slight problem with my Bible. I like tabs that make it easier to find the books quickly especially during sermons & studies. But the pages of my new The Voice Bible are pretty thin & the tabs were crinkling the pages & tearing. The Voice Bible is the newest translation on the market. I really like it a lot. It's easy to understand & gives a fresh perspective on God's Word.
So I got the idea to add washi tape to the edges to reinforce the tabs & add some color to my Bible. I understand this isn't an original idea, as I have met someone else who did this but it was original for me when I thought of it. It's lots of fun & adds color & personality to your Bible.
Then a few days ago, my SU! upline Connie Smith pointed me over to the Facebook Bible Journaling group & I asked to join. It's a closed group so you have to be invited or approved to join. Heaven!
Many, many years ago, one of the art groups I was involved with had a discussion about doing Altered Art in a Bible. To say the discussion went to extremes & everywhere in between is an understatement. As much as I wanted to do an Altered Art Bible, I let general consensus say it wasn't right or cool. Lesson learned, if you are OK with it & it helps you draw closer to God, God is OK with it.
I decided for now that I want to stick with my The Voice translation instead of a traditional journaling Bible. The smaller margins may prove challenging but I know I can also add in "pages" to enhance my journey.
So here is my 1st foray into Bible Journaling. I used a Sharpie Pen & Staedtler Watercolor Pencils. Until my daughters wedding is over, I won't have a lot of time to Bible Journal, but I will enjoy working on it every chance I get. So as I read & am inspired by the Spirit about a truth, I will make note or start a sketch related to it so I can return to it & create a page related to the inspiration received.
Doing art in your Bible is not for everyone. It's a personal choice & reflects your walk with God. We were all created to be unique by design. Embrace your uniqueness & the grace God speaks to your life.

Studio Work in Progress
Will make a valiant attempt to post more regularly, but it's been a week already. What have I been up to? Well with my list of things to do growing longer with class designs, baby showers & wedding stuff, my studio as it was laid out was driving me crazy. It wasn't functioning well. My initial goal was to purge as much as possible & get my 2 rooms down to 1 room & actually have a guest space. 100 days to plan my daughter's wedding kind of put the clean out on the back burner for now.
So I spent the past 3-4 days trying to make my work space as functional as possible under the current circumstances. I was trying to utilize what I already own and I was still able to purge a little bit in the process. I am currently celebrating every square inch of space I free up & declutter. So it's not ideal but it will work for the next few months of intense project deadlines. And sorry, no before pictures.

Facebook & Posting
Well I disappeared off the face of the earth again, just kidding. My knee took some extra healing time after surgery & I didn't take too well to the synvisc injections during July. However, I am happy to report that if not entirely pain free, I am again moving much better. Now on to crafty things.
I set up a Facebook page www.facebook.com/
and am going to do my best to post here & link it to facebook too. I am teaching classes again to my friends & at my favorite scrapbook store which reopened Whole Lotta Scrap. Plus I plan on designing & creating more in general. I have been successful most of the past couple of months reserving about 3+ hours studio time each week. Yeah!
I also opted to try & read my Bible for 100 days & am working my way through the Psalms. Not on my computer or tablet or phone but actually pick up my Bible & turn pages & read. I am on day 77.
So wish me luck in posting more. I may have to turn posting into a challenge too :0)
Have a Fabulous Labor Day Weekend!
We are off to visit the new Chickasaw Cultural Center tomorrow.

Cards for Troops News
Yep, I am actually posting. Been a crazy year so far, including a rotator cuff injury and knee surgery. However, life is good and full of blessings.
After careful prayer and consideration, I am officially retiring from event hosting for Cards for the Troops. Doesn't mean I won't still be making cards and a few select kits, just means I won't be taking it on the road anymore.
I hope you join me for our final Christmas in July Extravaganza on July 12th. Details on sidebar.
Enjoy your Memorial Day Celebrations and know you have made a difference to our military heroes.

Starting a New Year!
Yep, I've been absent for awhile again. I let life get way too busy & was getting exhausted for sure.
I have spent the past couple of weeks getting some extra rest soooo.....
am ready to dive into 2014 at a slightly slower pace. I sincerely hope to have a more focused, less hectic year but you know the verse:
