Journal Homework #4

Week 4 into Sarah Whitmire's advanced journal techniques...she is a fabulous inspiration and she will be offering another class soon. If possible... I recommend her. http://sarahwhitmire.blogspot.com/

Okay construct pockets to place our tags...I didn't have any of the recommended paper...a paper bag, so I used an envelope...worked fine. Tape it into the journal, I used copper tape...write some words in the tape..one side to represent negative/fear the other side positive/love. Did that, then swipe some black paint over the negative side and white on the positive and stamp background in same paint...did it. I am a simple person so I stayed fairly basic.

Here are both sides open.
Negative/fear.
Use stamps to create the background I chose spiderweb..because it represents the dark side to me...I don't fear the web ..but I do a spider!
I am probably older than most of the participants and certainly so as far as Sarah is concerned.
My fears stem to the healthy side of life. I do very much respect the body. It carries us through so much and still keeps going but, even under the best intentions serving up the most healthy choices in food and exercise...I do fear the imminent will still be a wheelchair.

Here is my positive side.
Where I have prepared for and enjoyed every moment of the 29 years I have spent truly.. with my soul mate, my other half...a very special, considerate encouraging man, whom without these years would have been such the missed adventure.
And this concludes lesson 4

Web of Gratitude


This weeks soul journal lesson is the "Web of..." 'Love' is the original prompt. Like a few of my other soul sister's, I changed the lesson to "Gratitude".

I have a lot to be grateful for this week!

Fergies, where I waitress, that had the fire back in September, opened for business again.
We have had a terrific week, which means I made nice tips.

Craig has been having a good week!

But....
My MOST exciting news...I have been given the opportunity to create "Jesus Blessing the Children" in Stained Glass.

I met with the church group Thursday, they are going to be a great group to work with. The commission is for a 7 ft x 7ft. install.

So we shall watch the progression of this project, probably over the next 6-10 months, depending on how fast my crate of glass will get here, and how many portraits we decide to place within the drawing.

I am thankful for what I have been given this week...well every week actually...
I have to say I am very blessed.

Inchies Revisited


I like that I saw this page being called the inchies page...it fits. Here is my page revisited.

The next step was to circle 1 image, place a messy square around 4, dotted surround around 2 and a stitch line around 1 then write 8 words...

here we are:
