OLW -- Automatic Response


Ok...this week's word over at the One Little Word Challenge is*automatic.* Had me scratching my head for awhile...first all I could think of was that I drive an "automatic." That sounded old. Then I thought about something my mother always said when I was a little girl..."Saying 'thank you' should be automatic." That sounded preachy (but great advise). And then this afternoon, I saw squirrels out in my yard trying to bury nuts in the ground (which is a whole OTHER story because my yard is all ROCKS) -- and I automatically reached for my camera....aha! Finally -- my one little word could become a layout. Decided to play a bit outside my normal style. Have been seeing some cool "funky frames" on the Scrap In Style tv site....and wanted to see what would happen if I tried to create one myself. Have been waiting for a fun project to use a wonderful kit filled with Tinkering Ink goodies from Scrap It! Online....so all these things just seem to come together in this layout....*whew* lots of explaining there -- hope is was worth it! *laughing*

    I love it! Love the colors! And of course reaching for the camera is automatic. I decided not to do that one because I couldn't think of anything.

    You are great!

    Might be my favorite thing you've ever done.
    Such a change in style for you (IMO).
    I really like all your recent layouts.

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

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...
