Hello, my dear blog friends! I hope you enjoyed your holidays and are all set for a wonderful 2012! My desk today is deceptively spic-and-span. I not only used the push back method, but the more drastic push out (to the floor)...
I have started a new prayer journal. My sister Patsy says making art in her prayer journal has helped her to remember the verses she has meditated on so I decided to follow in her footsteps...
I am using a journal I received from Sarah for the WOYWW Pay It Forward last year. Thanks, Sarah! Have you visited Sarah? She has a Mojo Monthly feature in her blog that has wonderful projects and artist interviews.
That's it for now and you might want to take a peek at more desks joining What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday! Happy New Year, everyone!
Your journal page is delightful! I so wish I could do something as pretty as this. And your desk is so neat. Wow!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a clever idea and it would definitely help you to remember the verses. Your desk is looking very tidy and nice to see the floor is put to good use.
ReplyDeleteLoving your journal.Glad also to see someone else makes use of the floor..lol im not alone!
ReplyDeleteHave fab wednesday

So so pretty. I love your drawing style. Love the journal but try tho I might I never seem to be able to keep one up. I use the floor too, but better a little tv table as satellite add on to my desk. Saves my poor back :)

The journal is gorgeous! Working on the floor as I do, I have less options to push it back - but I am there with you!!
ReplyDeletePush to the side, push out, push up - it sounds like an exercise routine! Lol! Am loving your journal, sweet pictures and a good way to get your thoughts down.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

I love your prayer journal, you are very talented! I always have a pile on the floor - sometimes the desk just isn't big enough, and if I push back anymore, its all going out the window!

ReplyDeleteA Prayer journal...what a good idea!!
ReplyDeleteCan look back and see all the answered prayer and be thankful all over again.
Have been known to use both of those cleaning of the desk methods at different times and found them to be quite effective... looking forward to seeing the journal progress...happy woyww...xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal, and I can really empathise with that method of tidying up! I think I just move my things from place to place...
ReplyDeleteHello Peggy!
ReplyDeleteWell.. Let Me Just Say that you have a Very Organized Desk!Hopefully it will Rub Off on Me! And I adore the Push Back or to the Floor Method!Lol!
And Oh My.. What a Beautiful Journal! And I love what your Sister said about adding Art to Remember a Verse. So True. It would be Like putting Words to Music I think.

ReplyDeleteHi there Peggy, thanks so much for popping over, and for sharing your lovely words on the post of my friend Tim, we had his service today a time of sorrow an rejoicing - love your desk and the idea of the journal is really great - been down that path though and cant seem to keep to it. Love, Shaz in Oz. x
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of the push back and sideways technique, will have to try that. I just pile it high!!
