Some of us find beauty in a clean desk...
(but in truth, I used the push back method to get that part clear). Others find beauty in a "creative mess" (the reality)...
And in the bible, it says God finds beauty in me. God desires my beauty! Isn't that amazing? Who can comprehend this, God desires our beauty, marred as it is by sin. But even if we can't understand that, this is God's assurance, he finds us beautiful, he loves us. What a mystery!
I'm sorry but I have been a delinquent blog friend these past few weeks in What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday and Word Art Wednsday and haven't been able to even visit back. I hope to get back into the routine of life and get to visit this week!

Bonjour chère amie,
Vos dessins sont si charmants... Merci pour ce joli petit billet.
Gros bisous ♡
I can so relate to that desk right now.
Your journal page is so beautifully done, as always...so inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
I'm definitely in the creative mess camp! Love your journal page. Sunshine Girl #6
Beautiful art work Peggy - and I love your two desk shots and the contrast :-). Your words on God's love for us are wonderful, thank you. The assurance that I am redeemed and loved gives me much joy.
Blessings

Hey the push back method works so stick with it, if it helps you create. I do hope you find time to create, your work is so beautiful.

I have to admit I do love to see a tidy desk [at least an organised one] but if all desks were tidied away there would be nothing for us to have a good snoop at :-)
There is always beauty on your desk in the form of your artwork. :-)

Loved with an everlasting love, known from before He made us in our mother's womb, all our days written. Amazing - and wonderful - and very, very, humbling.
Thanks for already visiting.
Take care. God bless.

I am a slave to routine, without it, I achieve very little. And hey - you've been away and allover, so it's not a problem if you have to let stuff lie for a while!
I love the jekyll and hyde desk photos, and your humour in sharing!
A very special message today Peggy. God does love us through the sin in our lives. The art work for the journal page is outstanding. The sentiment is perfect. - Jim
Well Peggy, the clean part of your desk looks very holy to me! The messy part is akin to mine and my methods of push back too! Eventually it falls off the other side though.
Did you draw the girl? She is beautiful!
Happy WOYWW.

So true - I love that and the art that goes with it! Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #56
Pushing back is a skill I know well and it works for me Lol!
Hope you have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x 39
I love the idea of the 'push back' method of tidying! That page is gorgeous. Have a great week, Chris # 16
I have to admit that I love a clean space to start crafting again, but also adopt the push to the sides when I need to. Love your artwork. Thanks for sharing. Hope that you have a lovely crafting week to come. Hazel, WOYWW #81 x
Such a beautiful inspiring post!!! I love your art work and well the desk is a little over the top today! Thank you for sharing, Have a great week Ginny M #63
I think we've all been guilty of the push-back method, Peggy! Lol! The trouble is, I've got so much stuff in my ARTHaven that sometimes it gets hard to find a space to push back into! I so agree with what you wrote about beauty. In Eph. 2:10 where it says "We are God's workmanship," the Greek word is poem, or masterpiece! Isn't that beautiful? I like to think of myself as a work in progress, with the Artist continuing to work on me throughout my life, till His work of art is truly a thing of beauty!
Your art work is beautiful, as always. Thanks for sharing.
Happy belated WOYWW,

This is such an awesome artwork, Peggy! Love the colors choices and the details are great! We are blessed to have you join us at our last week's Word Art Wednesday Challenge. We hope you'll come back to visit us again. Leaving you with God's Word in James 1:12 which says, "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." Hugs always!
