Wax Resist Technique




Here you go on the tutorial vid...hope you enjoy it.

Wanted to let you know that our family received some difficult news yesterday. My Dad (84 yrs old) has been diagnosed with AML (leukemia) and will begin chemo therapy on Monday. We have had great conversations as a family about this - and as my dad has been an athlete and very healthy all his life - we are all in agreement that he should take this course of treatment. He has a good prognosis - and while it will no doubt be VERY rough on him - we believe the outcome will be for him to eventually return to all the things that he loves doing - playing golf (he had played 14 holes of golf just prior to getting this news), hunting with his brother, and hanging out with family - particularly his grandkids.

We would appreciate your prayers. We know that God carries us through even our DARKEST hours - and makes the way clear. Royce and I can attest to His faithfulness in these kinds of moments from very personal and recent experience. Thank you friends for your love and support....you are loved and appreciated, every one!

Blessings....Jann

    I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I will, most definitely, add him to my prayer list. You, Royce, and Weston will remain on that same list also.

    I so love this tutorial you did. I had planned to do this technique of yours and give it a try, however I got side tracked.

    Dear Jann!

    I´m Tina. From Sweden. And I´ve watched your youtube-videos during this past year- and I really like the kindness and your giving spirit- as well as your beautiful artwork. Today I was looking for news from CHA- on youtube- since I post a daily blog from other creative souls - except for tuesdays- when I put out a video by myself- not at all as professional as yours but I´m just learning a new editing tool here- and if I only figured out HOW on EARTH you get your camera to shoot from the sky- I hope to improve- since I´m a beginner but like you say- the important thing is to actually ENJOY ourselves when we´re in our studios- and THAT my friend, have been hard for me to learn... Having three sons and a tough life with my so called spouse... That´s another story...

    Reason I wrote you today, is to ask if it´s ok- if I show your fine and inspirational tutorial on my blog tonight?? My web-adress- since I started selling scrap-booking and mixed media stuff- I figured I might as well :) www.tuesdayswithtina.com (it´s in swedish- sorry- but you might like something, maybe... I asked Milliande if I could show some of her stuff from Youtube and as long as your logo and name and blog is shown and mentioned- I do hope is ok- ???

    So sorry to hear about your daddy dearest. I promise to pray for him tonight. Having elderly parents are hard at times-

    My heart broke today when my oldest son- 22 year old- moved from home- so I had to lay down and watch something nice now- before bedtime- hope you´ll say YES soon- :))

    All in all- I want to say THANK YOU for great and fun work, shared with all of us,

    Tina from Stockholm,
    Sweden

    So sorry to hear about your dad, and I'd be honored to add another member of your family to my prayer list. Is your dad close by, or do you have a sibling that is close by that can help him with his treatments. Depending on where you are, the American Cancer Society has volunteers in one of their programs called the Road to Recovery who drive patients to/from their Dr. or treatment appts if they need help getting there.

    It does need to be scheduled ahead of time, but once the treatments have started, it might be a nice idea to have someone else do the transportation every once in a while to give you or your siblings a break. Or if he's planning on driving himself, sometimes they get really tired during the treatment, and it would be nice for him to just ride with someone.

    I've met the most wonderful people in this way, driving them sometimes as far as an hour away to get their medical care. It's just a thought. Call ACS at 1-800-227-2345 for more info.

"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.

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...
