About Me

Before I jump into a more long-term project or study, I like to set my intentions. This helps me focus on the heart of the project, and it is something I can go back to when my enthusiasm is waning. I created this Bible journal entry/prayer to kick off the Project Gr8tful study, and I am so excited to get started! Sometimes my Bible journal entries do not turn out as planned. Sometimes, I really end up disliking the page. But, in this case, I decided to go ahead and share it with you all. Not because I love the page, but because I just want you to know that the process is so much more important than the final product. This page represents time in the Word for me, so even though I am not pumped about the finished product, I am happy with the time! Halloween is totally sneaking up on me, but not in my planner! I went for a combo of the Disney Villains sticker books and the new Halloween sticker book in my classic catch-all planner this week. Kind of feels like a scary movie kind of week! What scary movies are your favorites?ā  Two new videos came out today! First, I unbox the new Gratitude Documented and Project Gr8tful kit from @illustratedfaith and then I show you how I am prepping for these fun projects. Now, I filmed the prep before the unboxing...what can I say, I just couldn't wait! šŸ˜‚ Make sure to check out both videos!ā  Project Gr8tful from @grtfulchick and @kellybangscreative is releasing today, and I am so pumped to be able to participate in this project again. True confession - last year I did not finish working through the entire gratitude project. So, this year, I am simplifying my plan on how I want to work through this sweet project so that I can truly focus on the heart of the devotion. Check out my set up video over on YouTube!ā  It is a new season, and it is my most favorite season of all! I love so many things about fall that I figured I would work on a traveler's notebook documenting all the things I love about this time of year. I am excited to document all the fun details about this time of year. What is your favorite thing about the fall?ā  nother memory planning process means another little sneak peek at my family's crazy busy life. I love documenting our everyday, and I love that memory planning is not too overwhelming for me to keep up with. This week I used "Some Days" from PinkFresh Studios, because oh man, it feels like we are in the thick of the crazy busy fall season. Full process video is up on my YouTube channel!ā  From the very beginning, God highlighted the importance of rest in the cycle of creativity. I've been studying creativity in the Bible a lot recently, and it has become apparent to me just how vital a component rest is for us to fulfill the creative potential God has put in each and every one of us šŸ’•. Sharing this power verse that I have been reflecting on over on my YouTube channel today!ā  In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I am participating in the #planningpinktober challenge hosted by @planwithilysse šŸ’•. Loved creating this pink spread using the Seasonal Type sticker book and the new Color Story 2 sticker book! The full process is up on my YouTube channel and there is also a fundraiser connected to the video, with proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Go check it out!ā
