SketchNoting Cheat Sheet

I love everything about SketchNoting!  I only wish I had thought of it when I needed to learn for test in school!

Yesterday I went through SketchNoting pins on Pinterest and made myself a cheat sheet to use when I take notes from the Bible or listen to sermons.... But I have to say, I have tried it and it isn't easy!! ... I don't think that fast!  I totally admire people that do it for a living.   ....Talent envy....

Here it is stuck to the back of my 2014 calendar journal.

I'm Just Not Patient Enough To Be Perfect Anymore!

My whole life I have been a bit of a perfectionist.....well....I am obviously over that!  I am now sixty years old and my attitude has changed to "oh, the heck with it, good enough! Who really cares anyway?! This is so not that important!!

There are a few people "out there" that have a handwriting that I just LOVE....so I want to teach myself to use that same handwriting...well that takes practice!  Yesterday I decided to practice.... Three strikes...and I decided "the heck with it, good enough!!! It is practice after all, no one is paying you for this, get over it!"  ....  Ha! The freedom of being old!

Gotta say though, when I look at it all I see is what is wrong with it.  But, it obviously doesn't bother me enough to do it again.

I have to say though, I did something last year that gets pinned all the time and I cringe every time I see that it gets pinned.  I think, "can't they see how 'not perfect' it is?!" Ugh!

Oh well....  Jesus is coming back soon, more important things to concern myself with!

My Doodles Found Throughout My 2014 Calendar

More little doodles found throughout my 2014 calendar.

This week I decided to start including all the new dies I get...the following is a sampling of what I got this week.  It is a Simon Says Stamps die set called "We're Expecting".  It actually was made to go with a stamp set but. I have discovered that I would MUCH prefer to draw my own lines.  The two faces are actually eggs,but I saw faces.

Sorry it is so sloppy, I was just trying to hurry and get something done ....I got a bunch more dies.(on other pages of the calendar) so I wasn't try too hard to be neat.

Frame Waiting For Something

No Rhyme Or Reason...

This page in my journal, like most, has just been a catch all page of doodles with no rhyme or reason.  It has been "in progress" for several months now.  There are a couple dies that I cut out and colored when the mood struck and the rest just kinda happened.  I don't love white space so I try to fill it with whatever happens...and when there is no more white space I call it done...  This is today's "done":

I finished it while I was watching "at" a TWO HOUR video of all the different birds, fish, and such that have died by the thousands since 2008....  WOW!!  It is shocking to see what has been happening!  http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uFJbDn1J1O4.  More End Time prophecy being fulfilled....  Of course my excitement for the rapture has been renewed because of the blood moon the other night.  If you haven't seen some of the teaching on the Four Blood Moons be sure and check that out on YouTube as well.   

LOOK UP, YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH!!!
