A couple of weeks ago, I was prepping for a beginner’s Bible art journaling workshop for a group of scrapbookers and other crafters who were enjoying a retreat together at Rhodes Grove Camp in Marion, PA. It was fun to come up with ideas that they might have used in their scrapbooks to show them how they could take all their scrapbooky goodness and turn it into recess with Jesus. I went for all the scrapbook-ish illustration tricks for techniques. It was a lot of fun, and they learned some new techniques. And… as it turned out, not all of them were at the retreatRead More →

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4 Recently I was preparing for a Beginner’s Bible Art Journaling Workshop which would be attended by 11 ladies who had never previously heard of Bible Art Journaling. Sometimes in preparation for a workshop, I journal multiple examples for the sameRead More →

  A little more than a month ago I took on a task that was way bigger than I expected. I decided that writing one Advent devotional and creating one to two pages of art as a printable per week was something I could manage. Ha! It was a lot more work than I imagined! Phew! But I’m so glad that I did it. I look at the ten pages of original artwork and can’t imagine that it was me who actually did it. It was covered in so much prayer and I know without a doubt that my prayers were answered. God has doneRead More →

Three Kings Day… have you ever heard of it? Do you celebrate it or at least make note of it when it comes around every January 6th? Also called Epiphany by some liturgical church traditions, it is also the twelfth day of Christmas. I learned about Three Kings Day many years ago from friends who came from Puerto Rico. Part of their family’s celebration of ‘El Día De Los Reyes’ included setting grass out for the camels just as we might put milk and cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve. Along the way I read of another family’s tradition of sewing a special button on each child’sRead More →
