My Prayer List Page+Lots More

Well, here it is almost 2:30 in the morning and I'm up working on Bible journaling. Could this be a new addiction? I can't think of anything more beneficial to be addicted to. :)

Here's my prayer list for my children, their spouses and their children. I saw something similar to this on Facebook but I added my own twist. It's a great way for me to remember all of their birthdays, too. I used a piece of washi tape to mark it.

3:02 a.m.
I'm still up and this is the latest one I've accomplished. I want the glass of the salt shaker to look like the pale green glass they used on old-fashioned Coke glasses. I like that it turned out nicely because the "salt" is really white.

3:31pm

Still haven't been back to bed yet. I'm powered by coffee at this point, but after this post I'm heading off to bed for a nap.

I thought this would be an interesting take on a lighthouse. Usually they are red and white or black and white.

 I thought orange hibiscus would be different from the red ones that are so popular. I think it turned out nicely.

 It took me a while to do all the different colors in the waves.

This was fun to do because of all the rainbow colors.

I've been busy coloring more pages. I did manage to lay down for a nap and woke up rested and ready to color more. I did this page to commemorate my birthday. My name means industrious like a bee and the flower for the month of May is the Lily of the Valley so that's what I drew. I also highlighted my favorite verses in Chapter 31.

I'm going to switch to my new coloring book Whatever is Lovely that I bought at Walmart for $10. It's $14.99 at Michael's. I also bought the Inspirational Coloring for Mom coloring book for $9. It's normally $10 so that wasn't such a great deal but I've never seen one and I really like the art in it. Unfortunately, the pages are too long to tape them into my Inspire Bible. Drat!

I haven't made it over to my coloring books yet. I'm still in my Bible. I colored this one in and used a piece of washi tape to mark it's location because I'm such a worry wart and this will really help me when I'm worried about something like going for a job interview the next day...

I just finished the Lord's Prayer. The title Our Father was written with an old English font so for me it sort of set the tone. I wanted my piece to look like an old-fashioned Victorian Sampler, so I used muted purples, peaches and rose colors. I did a lot of blending too.
