The paper I started with was in a pile of papers my Grandson, Lewis, had glued together and this is the part of the paper he had glued some music paper to and added a little glitter. Also I was doodling some crazy drawings a week ago and so I tore one out. Used the leftover texture paste from my other page too.
Psalm 31 spoke to me this morning. My eyes have really been tired this week due to allergies. Then I ran out of contact solution (thought I had a bottle in the cabinet) and I used distilled water - that was a mistake. Add in some sleepless nights, some work stress due to some major projects, stress from helping my daughter with a college paper (it has been a long time since I had to do any high level paper proofing), stress from forgetting last night was the end of the month and I was supposed to do the Featured Stamper post (Julie did it for me), the stress of doing these pages at 3:30 this morning after I woke up with a start and realized it was March 1st.... so these words were there for me this morning. They made me feel better. That is why I love BAJ. Now off to bed to get a couple more hours of sleep!
Thanks for the inspiration, Maura! Congrats on being the Featured STamper!

This is lovely, Nancy! And I love the scripture you picked. I'm having so many problems w/ my eyes that it frustrates me to no end! So I totally get it.
Oh, Nancy! Thanks for sharing this and the thoughts behind the BAJ! I read the scripture several times. My eyes are worn out, I guess from age and yet with all the struggles we face, He is with us through all our seasons! Beautiful page. So sorry you woke with a start. I hate it when I forget something. Last month I forgot to add a sample to the Fan Club Christmas Challenge until MID MONTH! Yikes! Anyway, I hope you were able to go back to sleep and I hope you have a good week!

Fabulous! And oh dear, what a story. I have done the same thing - woken up and realized it was my turn to post.... This turned out fantastic! Hope you are feeling more rested!

Enjoying seeing the other side of the book, so to speak. Love the face and eyes, and how you tied that in with your words. Honeycomb texture is always a favorite! Maura

Another glorious page! What a treasure to incorporate something that your grandson created as well- thankful that you shared with us and hopefully you were able to get some rest since then :-)
