We all go through crafting phases at times. Sometimes we are super interested in markers while other times paint gets all of our attention. Sometimes it is all about layering with paper pieces while other times we can’t get enough of textured scissors.

Mixed Media Bible Journaling – JOY!
I don’t know about you, but May has my head spinning so far. With the array of end-of-school activities and programs, Mother’s Day, summer preparations, and volunteer commitments, I have been feeling overwhelmed and not at all full of joy.

Back in graduate school, I was obsessed with “Sex in the City”. I loved the show, watched it all the time, and could quote so many episodes!
