in closing . week 51 & 52

What a year. 2018 brought such newness: started a new business (Grow Creative Solutions), celebrated one year of marriage (which brings lots of newness and adjustment), started a new part-time role in our church, Common Ground and our church's local NGO, Common Good, GOT PREGNANT, and strived to be creative and learning about my creativity 365 days. While I lacked being in the art studio every day, the effort of consciously thinking about creativity and challenging myself to be creative (not just in art but all of life) was such a joy. My blog and daily sketches can't show you all I learned ... but I'll tell you this ... my confidence in creativity has blossomed and I'm so thankful for this 2018 New Years resolution of #365daysofcreativity. Here's what's been going on the last few days ...

The Word is priceless. It is a free asset, yet so taken for granted. The Word is. Knowing my #365daysofcreativity journey and study of art, my friend Paula sent me a devotion she's been reading. IF Equip put out a study on appreciating art and God's creation and his love of beauty: Reflections of God: The Theology of Beauty ! What a joy it has been to study the foundation of God's love and His creative hand. If you're the least bit artsy, or just appreciate the trinkets of beauty around you, I'd encourage you to dive in this study and breathe in the beauty! Here are just...

family . week 48 & 49

In South Africa, schools and work places run on the year-calendar (unlike America that runs Aug - June school year). So that translates to a December full of wrapping up and finishing strong. Add to it that we have 2 significant birthdays in our family circle during Nov/Dec and you've got a recipe for an overcrowded schedule. While my creativity these last 2 weeks has resorted to doodles, baking new recipes and surviving pregnancy, I still want to finish the year strong with the blog and work on a few more art projects when break hits. Here's a 2 week update on all the family happenings and hopefully I'll get some photos and documenting done for #365daysofcreativity this coming week (#50). My first Common Ground and Common Good staff end-of-year party! Day retreat. Tree's up! Dog's a diva. skating party for Mia's 12th birthday Happy birthday to my baby!
