Joy Journal Project # 9

Our homework this month (though it's past overdue) is to recall a moment of appreciation that has happened since the beginning of the year.

Now, I must admit... it was quite a toughie for me. So much have happened since the beginning of the year and to focus on one was quite a task for me. But somehow, I guess the Lord works in mysterious ways.

This special lady's name kept appearing in my mind.

The next hard part is having to draw it. This special lady have done so much for me and my family, I could not draw them out. Lol. So, I have decided that, I would doodle her name.

So here's what I did. It took me this long to complete it :( There were so much going on and I am glad to slowly get back into the grind of crafting and journaling again!

So, I am off to focus on my 3rd part. Another toughie one! Lol. But I love challenges! *hugs*

Have a blessed day!

A new Adventure for 2013 - Joy Journal 2013

For the year 2013, I wanted to experience something new. Something I have never ventured into nor dared to. Maybe out of fear, or low self esteem.

I am always so amazed by what some talented artists come up with and I have always dreamt of being in their shoes. :)

So, I took a challenge with myself to venture into mixed media crafting. I was really excited when I found a group on FB who are doing just that. And this amazing lady is so giving. Shes such a wonderful person to meet. You should check out her site.

Well, here's my first attempt on mixed media. I am going to create a journal out of it. The reason why mine is on loose papers is because I do intend on creating something else at the end of it. So do keep a look out for it!

We had to choose a word. On first thought, mine was PERSEVERANCE. I believe, this word is really for me. I have a tendency to give up easily. So for this year... I am going to work on this word - PERSEVERANCE!

The words surrounding the word "PERSEVERANCE" are the meaning to it. And I have also added a scripture verse to it - JAMES 1:2-3.

I hope you enjoyed this page as much as I did creating them. Have a Blessed day! *hugs*
