You may be asking...

where have you been? I know -- I have been a very bad blogger! So sorry! I've missed you too. The answer is that we made a very last minute decision to be a part of the Nashville Women's Home Show -- and it took just about every single moment (had to cut back on both potty breaks and sleep) we had to get ready. Thought I would share a few highlights for you.

First.... a HUGE thank you to Jenni Bowlin...who allowed us to use part of her booth from CHA to get started. Weston took it and added to it so we had a 10 x 20 foot booth with beadboard walls.... that looked like this.


The What You Make It booth was filled with Scrapbooking albums, journals and memo books...all unique custom designs made with vintage materials. We introduced a new line of products called "Lil Bump Books." These are one of my personal favorites. They come in five color pallattes and are made from vintage 1930 reproduced fabrics that were found on flour sacks....just really sweet. Here are a couple of examples.



Several of you have asked about getting a "Lil Bump Book" for a friend and I will be listing those on the What you Make It store very soon. I just need to get finished with school and those will be right up there. If you have something in particular that you are interested in -- please email. me.


The other totally fun thing that happened during the Women's Show was that I got to teach on the "Herself" stage. We had a full house...and had a blast with some quick and fun scrapbooking techniques.




THeir favorite? The Glimmer Mist that we got to share with them at the end of the demonstration. What girl doesn't want a little sparkle in her life?!?!?!

Well...I am off to finish up some grades for my students -- but I will try and be better about blogging now that school is about over.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by our booth...it was great to see some friendly faces in the midst of our new endeavor!

"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...

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...
