Art Journaling

Yesterday was a snow day.

There was a crackling fire going

and coziness all around.

Got myself a comfy

place and actually

spent the

afternoon with my 

journal!

Are you...

 I have been

enjoying some

different journaling prompts

from Sabrina Ward Harrison lately.

I was feeling like

I kept writing

about the same things.

So I started my list...

"Some things I just love..."

 What do you love? or like? or wish?

or hope?

What are some Brave Dreams?

My word this year is 'Remain,'

so whenever I come across it, it jumps

out at me.  

I was reading John Maxwell's, 'Be All You Can Be,'

and my word came up as the definition

for Abide.  John 15, great chapter.

I was going to stop my list at 51, because 

I had just had my birthday, but

I had to keep going

it was inspiring

and fun.

Then I read it to my

teenager and she

started her list too.

 I have an old Bible from the 70's

that was my dad's.  The Berkely Translation, which

I'd never even heard of.

He was a preacher, so there's 

quite a bit that is 

underlined.  I have to underline

in it too, 'cause some verses are just popping

out at me!

I absolutely love

this translation of Hebrews 6:18 and 19

Bits and pieces add interest, these vocab

cards were an ebay find.

I really like making boxes.

They define my writing space.

 This is what my journal is for me...

A great reminder....

Always.

 Yep.

That's me.

My current journal.

My favorite books have blank white pages.

Off sizes are great.

I have to be able to open the pages

wide or bend them back.

Being able to sew on it

is an added plus.

So...Whatcha waitin' for?

Writing is soul therapy...

Journals are safe places.

I can art in them and no one

usually sees, so there's no

pressure that it has

to be right or beautiful on the

first go around.

From one Brave Girl to another...

grab the colored pencils, the glue,

those bits of cute paper...

and have a blessed day,

deedee
