A B You tiful Mess, and P for Paint

Bible Journaling, recycle, Scrapbook, Thursday's Art Date, , , , 11 Comments

I’m jumping ahead in Sarah’s scrapbook so I could do the letter P for Rain’s Thursday Art date where the theme this week is “Mess” Sarah was still in a high chair and diapers here and she is making art with real paint! I put her in my tie dye t shirt and let her paint away. She would play with me for at least an hour mixing and experimenting with color, then I’d plop her in the tub for a good soapy soak.

I also created a journal page with recycled objects in this theme as well. Life is a beautiful mess isn’t it?

I can make mistakes and have accidents happen, but I’m thankful that I have faith in a God who forgives, listens, and heals. The words are die cut out of a Kleenex box and the “B”, the flower, and the butterflies are from the metal wrapping around the top of the wine bottle I consumed the other day. The prayers and scriptures are cut out of “our daily bread” which is a little devotional I read from in the mornings. Thanks for reading

~ Embrace your beautiful messy self! ~

  1. You are a wonderful teacher/mother who has nurtured the creativity and the faith of your child … I am so impressed! I am also impressed that you know that I am a messy self … isn’t it just wonderful 🙂 This was fun and endearing, Karen. Hope you are safe and well …

  2. This is such a beautiful photo, Sarah looks so contented painting away. Kids love mess, and I think they are right to do so. So many people don’t give their kids a chance to have messy fun, your daughter was lucky. Creativity is so much more important than sterility and tidiness. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

  9. I love your giant lettering – and it’s all the better for being recycled. And a lovely Pooh page (Pooh and Piglet make me happy), with those wonderful photos of young Sarah getting properly messy… it’s the only way to craft!
