WOYWW #799 - Oh My Life!

I seem to be having a bit of a minor medical issue time. Dentist last week was slightly traumatic but nothing major required. Sunday I had an eyesight issue, diagnosed as a corneal abrasion in my line of sight. Got drops and it's better now but really scary at the time as I was driving...

Just my daily journal pages this week

Wednesday evening I followed a Christian process listening to God through words and pictures. This is what I came up with.

Thursday I was feeling a bit sad and this song came into my head. 

Wish I had somewhere to fly away to sometimes.

Not sure what was going on here, happy flowers sad tears and some doodles...

Saturday I went to a craft group with my Cuttlebug and used the organisers dies to do some cutting out.

The monkey reminded me of an Eddie Izzard sketch about learning French at school and how the phrases don't quite help you!

Sunday a painting of the offending left eye (as I see it in a mirror)

Monday I was inspired by a page I saw on a FB group. Loved the colours and doodles.

Tuesday's page..started with left over pieces of yesterday's page as collage, then paint, stencil, doodle.

Think the colours reflect my mood - not great!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #798 - Struggling

Having a bit of a week....! 

Here's my desk on Tuesday afternoon just before I packed it away to write my post...

I started a new Wednesday morning Church group last week and sat in the same place for over 2 hours! 

Harp image from Fussy Cut Freebies and a printed scripture verse I'd had for ages about the harp.

Thursday I used a printable from Etched by Faith. I'd missed dancing last week so maybe I was yearning for it.

I was fine on Thursday in the day, however, the extended sitting on Wednesday probably lead to my back giving out after badminton! I hardly slept as a result....Oh my!

Friday I had a huge amount of issues with my back!

Then a different flare up, for which I'm still waiting for the GP to approve my repeat prescription request as I found my current tube of ointment is now out of date.

Friday's page reflects how I felt Friday.

Saturday I remembered Devotion in Action had a new water colour up, so I followed that.

My son and his friend returned from Japan early evening and stayed overnight Saturday which added to my anxiety. 

He did bring me a Japanese news paper to use in my crafting and the coin is a 1 Yen.

I didn't go to church Sunday due to the visitors and was really sad after they left late morning.

The butterflies were a tutorial from Instagram.

Monday I had my annual appointment at the hospital which didn't go to plan, consequently I went into meltdown....

In the evening I followed a You Tube tutorial from Jenna Burne which was mainly black which was how I was feeling but surprisingly this was what I came up with.

The word refers to plants of the Umbellifer family. Only now, after looking it up, have I realised my flower heads do indeed resemble plants in this genre.

Yesterday I pretty much stayed in my room sleeping and crafting.

I journaled all my sadness all over my pages then sploshed some acrylic paint on top. Then the BLACK Distress ink came out.....

I've got the dentist tomorrow, really hoping that goes OK.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #797 - FREE Conference

Here's my desk from the side near the window. 

I have been busy prepping my purple folder for the Bible Journaling Ministries - Women Of the Word (WOW) Conference next month. There's a gazillion downloads/printables.

The colour combo this year is pinky purple so I'm stoked! My favourite.

Anyway the Conference is all on-line from 16th-18th October - 4pm till gone midnight daily and all presentations are free for 24 hours after they are published. There are 27 guest presentations in all.

I did my ticket page in my Faith Journal. The ticket is available from the Pop-up Facebook group which is just there for the conference time.

I carried on the colour theme in my daily journal focusing on Mary's Song from Luke 1:45.

I went to the prayer week of a local church and made my daily page using various items I brought back from there.

I've been trying out various Dark Chocolate with higher concentrations of Cacao so I did a page using the wrapper from the Asda "Extra Special Ugandan" 85% one.

Whilst doing my folder for this year's conference I realised I had loads of printables left over from previous conferences so I've decided to use them in my daily journal.

There is Wisdom from Proverbs 3:13

Then Truth from Ephesians 6:16 and John 17:17.

The Prayer Week was based on The Armour of God also the church service on Sunday introduced this topic 

(It was the focus of the Conference last year too) So I used some pieces from last years conference.

I did a colouring page from Sunday's talk which enforced the message some more and I'll endeavour to remember the 6 items:-

1) Belt of Truth

2) Breastplate of Righteousness 

3) Shoes of the Gospel of Peace

4) Shield of Faith

5) Helmet of salvation

6) Sword of the Spirit

Waymaker from Isaiah 43:19 is a lovely worship song.

And finally yesterday's page about being set free - Psalms 107:14

I think this was one of the bonus kits from last year. 

There really is so much on the FREE pass.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #796 - Hello September

Here's my desk last night when I had "half" tidied up after doing my daily journal page.

I made a little 5 signature journal for September using one of my favourite magazine covers for the cover. I'm planning to get back into Faith/Bible Journaling for this month.

I used papers from a little notebook I got at the Scout Book sale and watched a YouTube video to see how multiple signatures were sewn.

It was a bit wonky so I sewed the cover on anyways...

Here are my first 3 pages.

Pink as I just wanted to do pink after all the steampunk last month!

I did this page during church's on-line prayer meeting. The word revival came to me just before our pastor quoted a song about revival so it was pretty poignant for me.

Yesterday's page is very Casey Turner-esque. I love her style and it just flowed out of me.

The psalm was from the prayer meeting the previous day as it hadn't gone with that page so I had just written it out on this page.

Our last week of witnesses in the Bible was on Joseph in the Old Testament. Great to have lots of space to fit the larger size in.

September's Faith Inspirations and Bible Journaling Ministries pages.

Proverbs 27:17 - Iron sharpens iron

and

the book of Esther

And the end of my Steampunk journal for August.

A tag with more images from I Love Paper Digital & AI

The last 2 pages with images from Fussy Cuts Freebies. I went to town with the last page using the image as a jumping off point and trying my best to copy it with acrylic paint.

I hadn't really realised these freebie images are mainly AI, only something I became aware of when showing my son my journal and him exclaiming AI, AI, AI... Hmmmm!

Hence the return to my own creations this month.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
