"What You Make It" Sneak Peek

Well -- we are set for taping our first six show on Friday, November 9th. The house is a flurry of Thanksgiving and Christmas projects...and I am having so much fun. If you have been around me at Christmas time -- you KNOW that it is my favorite time of the year. Getting ready for "What You Make It" has given me an excuse to break out the Christmas CD's and sing It's beginning to look a lot like Christ-------mas!" at the top of my lungs. I have turned the AC down (because the weather is not cooperating with my Christmas fantasy just yet....and have put on a snuggly sweater! I think I may even pull out a little Christmas tree and some white lights just to keep the mood going! Don't think I won't! *smile*


Thought I would share a few of the projects that are in process. In a few days you will be able to order kits for some of these projects in my Etsy shop. Here are the kits that will be available.










1. Mini-book Kit with Jenni Bowlin's new brown paper line





2. Christmas Matchbook mini book (you get enough to make three gift books -- good for putting a quick give together for grandmom for Christmas)





3. A Christmas Findings Box -- A goodie box filled with vintage and other Christmas oriented goodies that you can use on Christmas cards or Holiday Layouts.





4. An Advent Calendar Kit....this one is really special. I will post a picture of it tomorrow...but you will want to check this out. It uses vintage sheet music and specially designed number magnets to help you and your family count down the days until Christmas. With the kit you can quickly get your kit ready before December. I will be happy to take pre-orders as we only have a liminited number of kits -- and as my friends, I want you to have the first opportunity to get them. The cost is $34.40 and you will have more than enough "stuff" to complete this project and probably a bunch of Christmas cards too. Just leave me a comment if you are interested in pre-ordering prior to be putting the kit up on ETSY.


And finally, these are some Christmas ATC cards that I created for an ATC swap. Enjoy....and even though I am working WAY ahead of the holiday schedule -- I really hope that you and your family are set to enjoy Halloween/Fall Festival and Thanksgiving before you move on to Christmas.










Happy weekend everyone.

    I am so in the Christmas spirit too! I gave Page the Grinch movie tonight and we watched it. (The Jim Carrey one)

    Big Lots has mini pre-lit trees for $18. They were shamefully fake, but festive none the less.
    Don't buy all the pink ones, I must go back for Page!

    Good luck with the taping. Did I miss something?

"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...

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...
