It's been a few weeks since I've shared

some of my Bible journaling pages - 

So this post will be photo heavy -

I've share before that I'm doing  the

 Journal 52 [year-long] [free] class with Effy Wild 

where she gives a prompt each week -

This is not a faith-based group - so I've challenged myself to find a scripture 

to work with the word of the week -

 

So, here we go - lots of photos - 

  These are some that I finally took some photos of to share 

[forgive if  I've shared before - ]

 So far, so good -- 

It's hard to believe we're on week 37 already!

I think I've mentioned that

I enrolled in a ten week Art Journal Summer School with Marieke Blokland -

 OMGoodness, y'all. 

This was SO MUCH FUN!

 

I re-purposed this little Bible Study book that I had completed in early summer 
with Beth @UnskinnyBoppy - 

And I so enjoyed working in a smaller format - 

 I want to share so much of my little book with you!!

Buckle up, Buttercup! 

This is one photo-filled blog post!!

Each week Marieke and others shared different techniques to use - 

She started with having us set some goals and intentions -

We were encouraged to interpret any way we wanted - 

I added in some bucket list type pages - 

 

 

I loved the idea of including maps of places 

we traveled to during summer break -

 

 

And I also included a spread each week of the "mindful moments"

 I started keeping up with after ReSet Camp - 

[Here's just a few - ] 

  This is inspired by the prompt - repeating patterns - lol

This Scotty business IS always on my mind these days - ha

I completed each of the 'lessons' [two each week]  

- But also had pages where I could just do my own thing -

 [Again - I divided the pages before hand so each week 

would have the same number to work with - ]

 Here's some of my everyday goodness spreads --

I was intentional about [art] journaling life events -

like little Joseph's birth - my - birthday - our anniversary...

 

And I used some of the techniques to record things

 that were happening in my life at the time -

Sometimes I prepared a page before the event,, 

so all I had to do was add journaling - 

 

 Other times, I just grabbed my little travel paints and jumped right in and recorded things that were happening that day or week - 

 

  This drawing is based on a a beautiful angel statue we saw while walking in San Juan - 

 Here, I used bits of the wrist band for our beach in San Juan...

 And some pages were just for fun!

These are many more that filled my book and I love most all of them -

[If I'm honest, there a few that I don't love, but I learned from them!]

It's such a treasure to have an art journal that truly represents a specific time in my life - 

If you ever have the opportunity to sign up for an on-line class with Marieke, 

GO FOR IT.

I know I'll be taking another one for sure!!

Lottie Scotty update.007 - 2017

We’ve had a couple of long weekends

 [albeit rainy and windy, thanks to Irma] 

to work on Lottie and we’ve been working fast and furious! 

We’re on a count-down after all – 

Some of you may not know that we’ve signed up to 

 attend a vintage camping show next month 

– see we’ve gotta get ’er done! LOL –

While I have been a crazy person painting every nook and cranny,

 Craig has been the spray-paint king! 

He’s taped and painted the front of our little fridge  

– also installed and framed it in! 

I LOVE IT!! 

[Note – there’s several places that I will need to be touched up / painted 

so we’re waiting until closer to the finish line to do that all at once --]   

 

He’s painted the fronts of the cabinet doors with spray paint 

 [it just seemed easier for us –] and I’m thankful he did 

and taped and painted the back of the cabinet doors 

– again, I love this little pop of color so much!! 

That little sign was hanging in Lottie when we bought her 

and it just seemed apropos to find a place for it to stay – lol – 

Here’s the paints we’re using - 

I'm interested to see just how many cans we go through 

before this is all said and done - 

 If we’re talking proportions of colors,

I’d say we’re mostly using white with blue 

with pops of red and green – 

We found a little red microwave that fits under the counter 

– and he framed that in as well. 

Again, LOVE IT. 

[He's building a drawer for the shelf above it to hold the trays we use while camping...

And also a door on the side so we can access the storage behind the microwave - ]

Since we will not have a stove in this little camper [I’ve NEVER used one of the gas stoves in any of our other campers –  I’m just skeered like that - ] this frees up space on the counter top to cook in my electric skillet. It’s going to work great for us –

He also painted the Scotty Logo - 

again, looks great on the white wall! 

More updates coming soon!!

- I can't wait to show you all the lights!!
[But have to say again... I'm really loving this Scotty logo! LOL]
