Faith planning has been so instrumental in keeping me accountable and on-track with my daily scripture study. Seriously, it has transformed my morning quiet time. Today over on YouTube, I am sharing a flip-through of my 2022 faith planner so far. Have you tried faith planning yet?

The full process video for this is available on my Patreon!⁠ Neutral spread normally aren't my jam, but how gorgeous and calming is this planner spread?

You can check out the whole process over on my YouTube channel :)⁠ Last year, I created a VERY popular organization course where I share all my secrets and strategies for creating a dream craft space, no matter what size space you are working with. "Creating And Organizing Your Dream Craft Space" has been purchased over 100 times, and will help you address all the details of your space. Decorating my faith planner is certainly one of my favorite things to do all week. It gets to be colorful and fun, but definitely needs to be functional so I can take lots of Bible study notes. Today, I am sharing with my Patrons some of my tips & tricks for getting my faith planner set up for the week! Join us over on Patreon to check it out!⁠ She grew like the wildflowers, a compilation of all the places she'd been....⁠ So many people just assume that if you are creative, you can’t also be organized. I think the two can compliment each other beautifully! Let me know, what are some of your organizational challenges in your creative space?
