Art Journal Challenge: Only things not on the desk

So todays prompt is "only things not on the desk"

I'm sure there are some of you out there that have messy desks like me! 

Sometimes I wonder how I get anything done!

The ironic part about this prompt today is that just last night I cleaned the desk off!!! Well not completely, but I did put a lot of stuff away! 

Mostly because I needed space for a sewing project. 

So today's page is one that I'm really proud of! 

I wasn't really sure where I was going with this when it started. 

Well first I had to pull some stencils and paint,

And I was lucky that my makeup sponges got "put away" last night so I didn't have to use my fingers!

I forgot how much I love these mandala looking circles! 

However I got a little paint happy, and there is a big blob of paint under the spotted piece of paper.

This is the best part of Art Journaling isn't it?

I get to cover up my "mistakes" with stuff that's laying around! 

I know that the last two years have been a test for me in KNOWING the love of Christ, 

and following where he leads, and not where I "think" I need to be. 

His blessings are amazing, and I know he knows my future.

This has been the verse for us this week, 

And this was a lesson in patience as each of those letters is hand stamped! 

But I just love how they turned out!  

Hope you have a blessed day, and remember to leave a comment for a chance to win some Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks (not used on this project because I left them on my desk!!)

Ok, ok, and here is a picture of my wonderful "helper" today
