Joy in the Storm

Last week, my peonies and roses started to bloom. It’s been so dry here, I was surprised to see them mid-May. I’m so thankful I snapped some pics, even though there weren’t many blossoms, because just an hour later it started to hail. I didn’t know how bad it would be, or if they would survive it. My doubts sprang from disappointment just a few weeks earlier, when just after the first day of Spring, my first 3 daffodils bloomed. A freeze just after that insured none of the rest would. But the next day, I walked outside to see… Continue reading →

Retreat

What does a Retreat look like for you? Is it complete R&R time? No schedule. No plans. Just slowing down, resting and relaxing? Is it reflection time? Spending time in nature? Journaling. Creating. Reading. Pondering your life. Your purpose. Your present. Your future. Is it renewing time? Getting great teaching for growth? Prayer and support for healing? Connecting with old friends. Making connection with new ones. Iron sharpening iron. I just returned home from my annual Christian women’s Retreat for—domestic abuse survivors and people helpers that advocate for them, the Called to Peace Ministries Retreat. There, I experience all of… Continue reading →

Are you still on track with your 100 Days project? I’m still creating a Layer-A-Day in Mixed Media, and loving my slow and steady projects. As I said in the beginning, I won’t be posting every day, every step, or even every project. But I’m popping back in today with another completed make. This week’s is for my wall, not in a journal. Thursday, I changed my seasonal home decor. Valentine’s came down, and Spring/Resurrection went up. The last few days I’ve been working on a small wall Faith+Art piece, specifically for “such a time as this”. I finished it… Continue reading →

Day 6—100 Days of Creativity. I love color and design! But I also love words! And as a writer, most of my art makes include words. My journal page this week is no exception, so my Layer a Day creativity for #The100DayProject today was designing my words, printing, cutting, inking the edges—and while I was at it, inking the edges of of the page itself, too. Simple layers each day, but it all comes together as a meaningful and beautiful page. I’ll get my pieces glued on and show the finished page tomorrow. My other make for today was HTV….

Day Five—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.)  Today’s #LayerADay proves my point that creativity can fit into very busy lives. Everyone can find time to be creative. The 100 Day Project is about keeping it short daily, so you can be consistent. This layer couldn’t have taken less time. Not even the recommended no more than 5-10 minutes. Literally just one. But even something so small can pack a powerful punch. After yesterday’s stamping, I questioned if I was done with my background for this art journal page. I decided No, it needs a bit of sparkle!… Continue reading →

Day Three—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.)  Today’s creativity was more stenciling, adding another layer to my background.

Day Two—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.)  Today’s creative work was a little more involved than just cutting a die cut. But it was still a simple layer that took just a few minutes. This colorful Distress Oxide Ink background was blended through a stencil. What did you make today?
