Pinterest Fail – Or Not?! – LadyEm ~ Under Mary's Mantle

Happy Friday Y’all.

I’ve not been feeling great this week. I was kind of ignoring my symptoms on accounta I didn’t want to be sick. You know how we mamas do.

I want to thank Lacy @ Catholic Icing and Kristi & Rachel of HailMarry for mentioning the Catholic Bible Journal Group on recent blog posts. Thanks ladies.

Anyway – so the other night, I went to Pinterest. You see I have a lofty goal of Bible Journaling One page from each book of the Bible this year. Here is what I shared with the group @Catholic Women’s Bible Journaling:

Ladies, I wanted to share with you my plan for Bible Journaling this year. I’m hopeful I can do it. I am not promising to read the whole Bible in a year, but what I am going to do is…
Journaling One passage from each Book of the Bible.
Six Books per month (except 7 one month). That will equal 73 books of the Bible. This way, I can touch each book, at least.
Does that make sense?
For January:
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Dueteronomy
Joshua
Does anyone have a favorite passage in those books they’d like to throw out?

Anywhooooo…..

So I did January’s and now I’m working on February. Clearly I am WAY behind the goal I set for myself. But let me show you my Pinterest Fail.

First – here is my Bible Journaling Board on Pinterest.

Second, here is the Pinterest Page in Exodus, I decided to try to do:

This is as far as I’ve gotten on the one I did – on two pages, mind you. I will add words or something and come back with the finished version, but boy am I laughing at myself.

The matting under each page is a vinyl art mat. I did not put down Gesso or any medium. I just watercolor painted. Oh I did put MOLOTOW over the verse, and take it off after I painted. You can see the yellow highlight in the below pic.

Anywhoooo…. the good news is, I am studying the Bible More. And I have enough Art supplies to get better – if I wanna. OR to be happy with what I am doing. In the meanwhile – I’m laughing.

And that – it’s priceless.
I have strep and a sinus infection and am sipping lemon tea. And my outfit looks like this (nothing matches) because that’s how I roll today!
