Buds and Organization


Ok...perhaps they seem to have NOTHING in common but they do! SPRING.


I always feel the need to reorganize SOMETHING in the spring -- and since my scraproom/office was so out of control that has been my focus. I'm not quite done yet -- but I thought I would give you a sneak peek at how things are going. I have been having a blast pulling some old vintagy stuff out from my mom's house -- some of them were my grandmother's things which totally inspire me to have around me when I am trying to be creative. I also added a garden pot stand next to my scrapping area that serves to keep my "favorites" at my fingertips...clothes pins with favorite ribbon...7 Gypsies and Heidi Swapp tapes, acrylic blocks etc. I also FINALLY got my stamp shelf painted/distressed and hung up. It is so fun to look over and be able to see my favorite stamps all on display...now I won't forget that I have them and will be able to use them more often. Any way -- there is still work to be done -- but I have made LOTS of progress -- which puts a little "spring" in my step.


















Happy Tuesday...enjoy the buds on the trees outside...and feel NO GUILT if "spring cleaning" is not your thing!

    What a "sweet..beautiful" home you have..I think I caught the organizing bug from ya! Ha.. I really want to paint my scrap area now..your scraproom is so pretty, cozy & soothing. Tommorrow's high is going to be {75}..Whoooo! I will have my windows open and will be doing a little "spring" cleaning myself. Ceiling fans, top of my grandmother's hutch that never gets dusted..I really need to find a nice shelf to go in my livingroom that will hold the ginormous clock hands from Pottery Barn..that Sherri turned me on to. Yay for tommorrow! I can't wait!

    Ok, is it wrong to be completely jealous??!! I am LOVING it! I still have so much work to do....ugh. By the way, it will be freezing here again tomorrow - we have a ton of snow (lots of fun sledding!) but tomorrow will bring snow and ice showers. Enjoy the beautiful weather!!

    Nice job on your scrap area! I get inspired but I never seem to get 'on top of it'! Somehow, I just scrap in the mess! At least I have the satisfaction of a layout I like at the end, even if the room isn't in pristine condition!

"What? You Are Drawing and Painting In Your Bible?!?!?!"

Image
This question was followed by the whispered question, "Don't you think that makes God mad? It's HIS WORD!"  Yes...let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Jann and I am a Bible Journal-er! Since you have seen me draw on just about anything...you are probably not as surprised as my friend with whom I had this conversation. And just to be clear, I'm not poking fun at her - I think that I have had that exact same conversation with myself over the years of my personal study...because even though I have recently started painting in my Bible - I have written my heart out in the margins of many Bibles as I have dug into God's Word to learn everything that He has wanted to teach me. And I have often drawn small images to remind myself of a principle -- like the one I drew here at the end of the book of Genesis! Rabbit Trail : I felt that it ends rather abruptly - after we have studied all the things that happened to Joseph over the course of his life the final sente...

 Hey friends... Well the time has come to do more than just dip my toes in the water...I'm gonna actually start filming YouTube tutorials again...and I decided to go for a big project rather than something that wouldn't challenge me to go the distance. I am going to show you how to put together an Easter Junk Journal from start to finish! Oh yeah...I didn't decide to just show you how to make a tag...we are bringing out the big guns! 😁😁😁 Since it has been a while -- I will give you the link to my YouTube Channel . You will find the series in a playlist called Easter 2023...and it will be the newest video uploaded....on Saturday!

I am telling you about it now -- so that if you want to ...

Under His Wings

Image
 Everyone needs a safe place to go when they are afraid or in danger. Growing up in Texas, we learned at a young age that when the tornado siren went off, you stopped and headed to the inner most room of the house with no windows. If you were quick about it, you could also bring a pillow and a stuffed animal for comfort. The whole family would huddle until the storm had passed. That's not bad advice...for earthly storms...but hiding in a closet when you're facing life's trials doesn't real help much! I love the picture of God's covering and protection that we find in Psalm 91. It says He will cover us with His wings (or feathers) like a Mama chicken takes care of her chicks! When danger comes...all her brood hustle to get under her wings because she will protect them with her life. There is no safer place...in life, than under the protection of our Mighty God! I created this card and Bible page with the @sweetnsassystamps set called "Under His Wings." It i...
