Journey of Blessings Overview
Supplies for Journey of Blessings
In preperation of our new Journey of Blessings, for 2015....I have gathered together some ideas about supplies yoou might like to look at. Of course, the planner you choose is so, absolutely, your choice. I ffind that I am a planner snob, and it is hard to find one that satisfys me!! Last year I used the At-A-Glance and did like it...the paper held up well to the inks and mediums that I subjected it to, This year I am trying the Moleskine 12 month planner- it is just bigger...with a whole page next to each week to create on....I like that for this year.
When choosing a planner- look for paper that will hold up to mediums. Thin paper might not take the wear and tear that we will be subjecting it to!
I like UniBall pens- they write over most everything, can be found at Target-or other national sellers, and are inexpensive. They are also waterproof, so that you can layer on top of them.
A nice tray of watercolors can get you started!
So, first things first, lets gather our planners, markers and paints! I will be posting technique videos on Youtube as we go along, for inspiration and encouragement as we embark on this journey together!!

Journey of Blessings!
Coming soon to a blog near you.......! You may want to ask Santa for a daytimer- At a glance, Moleskine calendar....or a blank journal!! Join our mailing list to get updates! Gratitude Journaling has been the single most explosive thing I have done in my faith walk....The idea?? -To document the goodness of God, to find Him in the sunsets and the clouds and to be overcome with gratitude....to be moved to tears by quiet answers to prayers...answers to prayers that don't come in and explode our atmospheres, instead they come in on the wings of a butterfly. Blink and you may miss them. Watch and wait on the goodness of the Lord and you find yourself overwhelmed by His intimacy and attention to detail. To see God throughout your day, to experience His blessings on a daily blessing build faith and relationship...then, when your world explodes (as it so often does) and you are unsure, and a bit afraid, and cant understand the happenings of folks.....you know, you JUST KNOW who your God is- because you got to know Him in the green pastures and you fed and delighted in His provision. That provision will carry you through the wilderness, through the unknown, through the scary and through the hurts. I promise! So - get ready - grab a planner and check back for our launch of J.O.B - a journey of blessings!! We will do it all online and share in our journeys together!

Trash To Treasure
My kids are busy, which keeps me busy. They play instruments, act, and sing.....and are always,always running. Over the years,I have collected many playbills, that I kept in a stack on my desk. I had,one of those,inspirational moments and thought, "Wouldn't it be it great to gather them all in one place"....enter an old box,some glue, buttons,twine, and...there you have it, a new creation that houses all of that talent and experience...and many memories for us to take out and enjoy.
It all started with a discarded Little Debbie box |
And became a wonderful gathering place for memories |
A very simple binding, that I can continue to add playbills in... |
