Grateful Glimpses 2

🍁 Grateful Glimpses 🍁 Continued from yesterday’s post.

My simple art journal for November. 

For the art part, I’m Keeping It Small & Simple (KISS.) The small & simple journal itself is a mini mixed media notebook (from Hobby Lobby, $1.99.) The pages are about 4×6”, and there are 18 sheets—so, double-sided that makes plenty of pages for the 30 day month. I decorated the front cover, very simply.

Like the simple things in daily life, my creative expressions will be simple. A written word of what I’m grateful for. A little color. A little mark making. Maybe a small collage, with scraps of paper, fabric or ephemera, a ribbon, button, or ?? Maybe a stamped or die cut focal point. Maybe not. The art may or may not have anything to do with the Glimpse. No finding the perfect image to “illustrate” the word. No layer upon layer of mixed media. No big decisions—should I do this or that. No lengthy deliberating over composition.

Just a few minutes of putting something—anything on the page to document my big gratitude, through the joy of creativity, for the small things God grants us in life, and naming what I’m grateful for.

I’ll share a few (not all) of my pages throughout the month. This journal may have a lot of “ugly art.” It’s a diary, not perfection and not beauty to be imitated. There’s no prompt list, of what to look for or what we “should” be grateful for. Just connecting with God in the moment.

I invite you to come along, intentionally looking for little things to be grateful for, and documenting your Gratitude. Either by just writing a word, or sentence, or doing it creatively—just for the Joy! Keep it to yourself or share. No rules.
