I spent the last part of 2017 creating and recreating a Praying Woman's Journal.<br />
I really felt that it was something I needed to do, that it was something God wanted me to create. Perhaps as a tool for praying woman, or perhaps as a discipline for me. I am happy to say; I did it. :D<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtpjVWgWD00kw9MJuIgmhFPDjul6sFcg43_kRwNMUxuZh7t5gEPa1rBFOSTznYKQbr4pTsV0mPUG5uaI1DvOxKm_FeKfyjfxYcztq89_z_LnMpEhZWIQiaNZkF2hfKe6s-cnGw749Keioq/s1600/gplus1168084022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="a look into a Praying Woman's Journal, using the first calendar page for March 2018.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">a Peak into my first page. I Created the flowers and the word March, aside from the publication.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
There are a couple of elements in the journal that I don't think is anywhere else, and that is because I think I invented them... :D<br />
With each month comes a new page, and on it is a place to record the 4 NEW PEOPLE 2 Pray For... as well as a place for the Persecuted Church each month.<br />
I developed the concept of our church <a href="http://connexuschurch.com/" target="_blank">Connexus</a>, they encourage people to pray for four people a month. Hmmm, so I guess I didn't invent it after all. ?<br />
The <a href="https://www.opendoorsusa.org/" target="_blank">Persecuted Church</a> idea came from something a pastor said once about the Persecuted Church, I had never really even thought about it... but it is sadly real.<br />
<br />
I hope to continue with my blog again.<br />
I really want to offer free downloads and treats to users of my Journal. I think that will be the most fun of all the creating... :D<br />
<br />
Be blessed,<br />

January 17, 2017<br />
<br />
Wow, where have I been.... it has been almost 2 years since my last post.<br />
<br />
A LOT has changed in the last few years, a lot.... I wouldn't even know where to begin... Other than to say that GOD is GREAT.<br />
<br />
New Man<br />
New Home<br />
New Vision<br />
Even my art has taken a New Turn....<br />

Hello...<br />
<br />
My Blogging has become as dry as my paint brushes I am ashamed to say.<br />
<br />
I am not quiet sure as to why I have not kept up on this, I love doing blogs and painting... I guess this thing called Life has interfered.... LOL... <span style="color: #c27ba0;">It is all a process and a season I would say</span>.<br />
<br />
If it wasn't for the occasional interest I get for this particular stamp, that rekindles my creative mojo, I fear I would allow this all to side line.... <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">so yeah, for the coffee cup</span>....<br />
<br />

Shocker.... I've created another one :)<br />
<br />
Well this is the second time i am posting this.... my first one was gobbled up by the cyber phantom.... hahaha<br />
<br />
This one is interesting, well i think so.... :)<br />
I started her with the idea that she would have long wavy hair... as you can see, she does not have long wavy hair.... as i was sketching in her facial features i realized her hair was already short.... and her makeup was that of the marine's in combat.... camouflage....<br />
<br />
The words " STOP hiding in the past & STEP OUT into the LIGHT just came to me, and as they are very fitting for me right now.... I went with it.... hahaha<br />

<div>
I cannot believe that it's over, 2013 is over.... And we're onward and upward to 2014, which hopefully is going to be a good year... Scratch that- a great year!!!!</div>
<div>
2013 was filled with trials and sadness... None of which I weathered well I fear .... But that's enough of that!!!!</div>
<div>
I don't do New Years resolutions... I never remember what I said :) but this year I hope to take a more active role creatively ....</div>
<div>
With the help of a local therapist I am trying to develop the skills necessary to "live in the moment" ... It's hard work ... My brain is always trying to understand and plan for 6 years down the road ... Which can really suck the joy out of living and more importantly creating.</div>
<div>
Sooooo with some new tools I have started working on creating, I am working towards simply creating for the sake of creating .... No purpose in mind .... </div>
<div>
Here are a couple I have created and or actually finished !!!! </div>
<div>
I'm getting there .... Hahahahahaha </div>

Oh Where have i been.... my goodness!!!<br />
Well in short, I have in a place where God can work on me..... hahaha....<br />
He had to get me up and out in order for me to hear Him....<br />
Hahaha.... I'm not anywhere weird.... just in an apartment on the top floor....hehehe...<br />
<br />
i am finding that Facebook is becoming the new media go to these days.... I have all for forgotten blogger world....how terrible of me... so sorry bloggerworld...<br />
<br />
One of the most interesting things that God has opened my eyes to is LOVE....<br />
i have discovered that due to life circumstances (none dramatically terrible)...I have emotionally detached myself from those around me.... i know, sounds weird.....<br />
Recently i took an online quiz of the "languages of love"....the languages in which i receive and give love are Physical touch (not sexual) and Quality time... both things that have been absent for many years....<br />
Now that I understand how i hear love, things make so much more sense....<br />
....and I'm babbling on....hahahaha....<br />
its all good.... God has me right where He wants me....and I'm really trying to pay attention....<br />
<br />
while I have been absent I have created a few things, not to much..... I just couldn't find where I placed my mojo.....:)<br />

i get so frustrated looking for the little sayings that i have scribbled down somewhere, that i want them all in one place...right there when i want them....so i'm happy to have found this avenue....lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Now to add colour, like a mentioned before..... it's a little tricky not being able to use watercolours....but it is forcing me to try different applications....is that the correct term, who knows....lol</div>

My friend <a href="http://www.thecreatorsleaf.blogspot.com/">Alice</a> was doing one and I thought it might be fun...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It's a little tricky not using watercolour ..... I'm not educated in the art of pencil crayon-ing.... Is that a word?....but I enjoyed the "meandering " feel doing this had... La la la... No pressure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I have been creating in my new space.... my new corner of the world</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19rQXs8nfoVsYMzaM3OdjMO_m9HMHetfLgsfEVY6N2Plc4bPwY7aYi2yUKa9nMgS1KCNQ_RfTM0_yvMICSFR7fHc7WHyO7RSaVwjA6oMlM4gkCrzk1a86u3dZh58276M2udseCNHdLrh_/s640/blogger-image--1407803137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cottage Remnant Artwork copyright 2013©" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi19rQXs8nfoVsYMzaM3OdjMO_m9HMHetfLgsfEVY6N2Plc4bPwY7aYi2yUKa9nMgS1KCNQ_RfTM0_yvMICSFR7fHc7WHyO7RSaVwjA6oMlM4gkCrzk1a86u3dZh58276M2udseCNHdLrh_/s640/blogger-image--1407803137.jpg" title=""Forget-me-knot"" /></a></div>
I have decided that i like matte medium....lol..... i have discovered that in allows my wax pastels and certain watercolour pencils to blend on the paper nicer....there isn't that "just coloured" look, which i'm not fond of for myself.....it also allows my good ol dollar store markers to work and blend perfectly too....<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also discovered that my white sharpie paint pen works better over the medium as well.....i found without the medium, it just disappeared...poof.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzrSdYc4wE7lE1p3hQrWU31T9Q2BjaoWmsixabOp5FUwIp94p2wMtCsjsKxAR7sUHTHfT3hnRajqNqb30Vzdh4cHm7I4Zk9wXwcDjtyaMxn-Yer4pyGQk67cTifz1h-Ec6nbGfzshCy_Wf/s640/blogger-image-711445079.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cottage Remnant Artwork copyright 2013©" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzrSdYc4wE7lE1p3hQrWU31T9Q2BjaoWmsixabOp5FUwIp94p2wMtCsjsKxAR7sUHTHfT3hnRajqNqb30Vzdh4cHm7I4Zk9wXwcDjtyaMxn-Yer4pyGQk67cTifz1h-Ec6nbGfzshCy_Wf/s320/blogger-image-711445079.jpg" title="" width="239" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the downfall is that my wonderful micron pens don't really like the matte medium, so any ink work that needs to be done i have to do it first....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i'm not so upset with my iphone anymore....i had to shorten my nails in order to use the keypad better, but it allows me a lot more freedom.... like taking a photo and then right away creating a post....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i cannot really do any editing, but in a way that is a good thing....sometimes i 'wait' to edit something far too long....lol...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O.K... enjoy the rest of the long weekend...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
