Good Things Come In Small Packages



Hello sweet friends...

Hope you have had a great weekend - and are looking forward to the week ahead!

I just got a notice on my phone that middle Tennessee is likely to experience frost tonight!  Woo Hoo - I think that may mean that FALL is actually on its way here! YEAH!

I was able to re-tape the video tutorial on the mini canvases - it was a little frustrating having to tape it with the camera off to the side - so I am really hoping to get back to using my computer and the overhead camera again soon! I apologize for the number of times I was demonstrating something out of frame or the goofiness of telling you to "look at something" that you clearly COULDN'T see because my left hand wasand was in the way! LOL.  Oh well - I learned a lot by doing this one and hopefully will do better on the next one.

This afternoon, I got to start on the project I told you about in the video...the mini album that we want to send  to the family of the kidney donor Royce received last October 8th.  We want to share with them our gratitude - but want to be mindful that the gift we received came at the cost of the life of their loved one.  We take that sacrifice to heart - and want them to know that Royce cherishes that gift - and throough his life, their loved one is continuing to influence the lives of others. This is one of those opportunities where I can use my art to express what is in my heart! I hope that you find an opportunity to do the same!  Have a great week - and I will be back to share the progress I am making with our mini albums.

    Hi Jann
    Missing you on your blog and can't 'talk' via Chatroll as it won't recognise my username/password which are all correctly entered!

    How are you and how is your album and canvasses proceeding?
    Hope you have fully recovered from pneumonia and aren't overdoing things :)

    Hugs
    Lynn

    Studio Jann :-). Awesome tutorial you have created for this installment. Watching it on my phone is great but I will be glad to see it at home on my computer on a larger screen.

    I'm really happy to hear your news of Royce's one year anniversary with his new kidney. I can't believe it has been that long already! Your idea for a mini album full of letters to the donor family is heart warming and I think they will appreciate it so very much. I look forward to seeing the mini. Knowing you and how creative you are your gift will be beyond awesome.

    Glad you are feeling well. Hope you get your computer back soon - for your own peace of mind :-)

    Love you Girlfriend - Leslie

"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 .

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...
