Paint Party Friday: Word Art

Hello, dear blog friends!  For Paint Party Friday and Word Art Wednesday, here is an illustration I made for my prayer journal.  This verse from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds me of how God has encouraged me through every challenge I have faced and how I can encourage others who face challenges as well.  Life is full of challenges, but for me, it is so much easier to handle them with God and with the support of people around me.  

WOYWW: 4th Anniversary Artist Trading Cards

I finally got around to sending out my WOYWW 4th Anniversary ATCs and on my desk today, I am putting the ATCs I received in my ATC album.  Here are just a few of the wonderful ATCs I received...

There is also a new book I bought (I often just get to look at the pictures of books like these).  Lots of inspiration here!

And lastly, an illustration from my prayer journal for Word Art Wednesday.  Indeed I have received much and have been blessed greatly and this verse reminds me to be generous and give without cost...

What's up in the other desks of What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday?  I haven't gotten settled enough after my trip to get around to visiting but hopefully (hope springs eternal!) I may have the time this week.  Thank you for your visits and lovely words of encouragement.  I am indeed blessed!

WOYWW: Home Sweet Home

Happy What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday!  I just woke up after our flight from Budapest and I got home to a wonderful pile of WOYWW Anniversary ATCs.  I am so pleased with the new ATCs from Jo (Twiglet), Annie, Christine (Bishopsmate), Maisie Moonshine, Lisa and Kate.  

Beautiful additions to my collection!  Of course I have to finish addressing envelopes and sending the ATCs I owe to these lovely ladies and that's what's on my desk as well.

I enjoyed the flea markets in Berlin and Budapest (I guess it is a good thing I don't live in Europe or I would be in the flea markets ALL the time!)  Here are some of my "treasures." I hope the watch I bought for 5 Euros will work when I change the battery...

Some pictures of my trip to Berlin...

Vienna...

and Budapest.

For more pictures and the descriptions about these places, please visit my Instagram/Statigram account (my WOYWW post is too long already!)

While I was away, the only art I got to do was in my prayer journal and so I leave you with this encouragement...

I'm sorry but I have not had the time to visit much these past days but I am always hoping to get to visit.  Thank you for taking the time to visit and leave me your wonderful comments, blog hugs I call them!

WOYWW: Guten Tag!

Hello from the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria!
I am still on vacation and so, for this edition of What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday, my desk is a hotel side table. Notice the umbrella?  We had a very wet welcome when we arrived yesterday!

Today is Philippine Independence Day!  Coming from places where there has been so much war and enslavement, I am thankful that all throughout my life, I have been free!
In my prayer journal I drew a Philippine flag in the background.  When our country is at peace, the flag is flown with the blue band on top.  If our country were at war, it would be flown with the red band on top.

Happy WOYWW and Philippine Independence Day, everyone!

WOYWW: Berlin Edition

Hello from Berlin! I am posting from an iPad so this will have to be a short post ( Julia, the queen of What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday does recommend a short post anyway and finally I will comply!)
This is my bedside table which is all the desk I have.  If I owe you an ATC, I'm afraid you will have to wait a while since I did not finish addressing the envelopes before I left.

Happy WOYWW everyone!
