Extra time = 🎨 make + 🖼 create! . Now is the

Extra time = 🎨 make + 🖼 create! .
Now is the perfect time to get a jump start on making 🎨 fine art projects for the Washington Town & Country Fair held in #washmo in August. Our kids love making projects with a specific goal in mind, plus they won over $120 last year (to blow some on fair food! 🍦). If you are not local to #washmofair does the fair in your area offer art entries you could start making now? .
I am writing lessons for the upcoming kids' pottery class I am teaching on location this spring/summer. If you want to make a pottery project for the fair, join the Art & Souls Creative Studio class list to be the first to know about the class dates and times 👉 link on the ‘classes’ page 👈 at artandsouls.com .
Each year our own kids make projects for display in the exhibitor's building in the home ec/fine arts area. Kids ages 5 and older can win cash prizes by completing projects. Note, kids do not need to attend the fair in order to enter items into this fair contest, but it does give them a way to engage with the event. .
See the list of fine art categories on the ‘classes’ page at artandsouls.com
.
Our family's favorite category is Pottery: N832 because we play in our home studio together AND the category offers a $5 prize for a blue ribbon 🏆
.
Clay class will be a great time to make art together and see friends! .
Happy art making at home this week! See you at the fair in August!

An artist’s Bible study looks like this: .
❤️ + 📖 = 🤓 .
This week a friend laughed and remarked that I always know where to find Bible verses- ha! - hardly! I certainly don’t know enough- I am always learning. She may not know that the verses I do know are because I have lived them. I have chewed on them, doodled them and spent time (weeks) studying just one verse. KNOWing Gods word in my heart + soul changes me. Applying His Word is like linking my hand in His and walking through the day guided by His wise ways. .
Learning for me means spending a lot of time in God’s word reading + thinking + reading aloud + skimming study notes + breaking down the verse to bite-sized chunks so I can apply it. .
I study not as a daily ✅ to-do but because I need it. I need refreshment and reassurance. I need re-orienting ⛵️ to take my eyes off of me and this world 🗺 to think more deeply about how God is working. 🧐
.
How do you study + learn + apply God’s truths? What speaks to your learning style?
.
I’m working on new things to share with you soon. 💌 See preview of my style: 🔖 coloring scripture bookmarks in ‘downloads’ on my website, artandsouls.com

After a recent women’s weekend at @highhillcamp,

After a recent women’s weekend at @highhillcamp, I heard from the event planner. Her words are humbling. They are a reminder to aim to steward and lead ❤️ hearts well: “You completely blew me away. Your presentations were some of the best I’ve seen in a women’s event setting – or even in a retreat/conference setting! Your dry humor was the highlight of my weekend. I’ve heard many women say that you were amazing.”
.
Wow, did God show up! 😯
He was at work meeting the hearts of ladies right where they were at to take them to a place deeper in relationship with Him. 🙌
.
🤫 Okay, I’m sorry for the humor (and extra caffeination!), but it springs from a deep place of joy in what Jesus has done in me! 😍
.
My prayer is that the Holy Spirit is always present and at work.
I am so grateful that He is faithful to reclaim the dry places and the hard spaces to make hearts malleable again. .
The message He has laid on my heart isn’t one preached from rooftops, but one that I experience daily when I’m deep in His Spirit and abiding in my #purpose
It’s a story of reclaiming over over again until my heart knows Him completely. .
If you or your group is yearning to see God’s truths in a tangible way, hit me up. I will pray with you and for you. I will work along side you and He 👏will 👏 show 👏 up. #heisfaithful .

Looking for a little magic this Christmas? Want a

Looking for a little magic this Christmas? Want a special piece to capture the essence of Christmas? .
As an artist, I work really hard to make simple + timeless designs that resonate with the search for peace at Christmas. That may seem like an oxymoron, but finding a way to communicate the peace of Christmas means stripping away all the ‘extras’. .
The Christmas season is especially short this year, crunched by a late Thanksgiving date that can feel like the wave of Christmas crashing down. Each year, the holiday rush, special events, parties, and list of things to do seems longer and longer when my heart yearns to sit and sip some tea sprinkled with cookie crumbs and to be warmed by the fire with my loved ones. .
I work at it, I work at sushing the rush, closing the door to the extras upon extras that leave me feeling stretched thin and unfulfilled. I work to stave off ‘more’ when it makes me feel ‘less’.
.
Instead, I make simple statements trading busy for intentional choices and quiet spaces. (silence) .
Do you hear it, the rush wooshing by, threatening to take you with it? .
The “season” is not one of rushing at all. The first Christmas was filled with a quiet night in a humble barn hilighted by the birth of the Christ child, Jesus. There was no flash, no pizzazel or harried rush, only the sound of straw crunching under the shifting weight of mother and child. A simple moment. .
May you experience the fullness of ✨ Simply Christmas ✨ this year in your heart and daily living. May the rush of the Christmas season not sweep you past the reason for the season. #jesus #peace .

The word ‘Hope’ has been hand stamped on the backside of the piece making it fully reversible. Wear with the word ‘Hope’ facing outward on days you are in prayer for the ranch, or give it as a gift to share HRoM with someone you love this season. .
The image is meaningful for Hope Ranch, which offers a welcoming, open door to at-risk children and teens who feel they have been cast aside, their worth unrecognized, and therefore have been unsuccessful in traditional foster care settings.
.
The same is true of the dove necklaces and ornaments made using reclaimed clay, which is clay that is tossed aside and forgotten about in the pottery studio.

These unique handmade ornaments and necklaces have

These unique handmade ornaments and necklaces have been made from clay that was tossed aside and forgotten in the pottery studio on a pile of other broken bowls and cups. The original intent for the pottery piece was never achieved. That all changed when the clay was reclaimed, immersing it in water to break down the broken bits into soft, malleable particles that, at the right time, could be used to make new pottery again giving new life to otherwise forgotten clay. This same imagery is the mission of the Hope Ranch to reclaim the lives of at-risk children and teens who feel they have been cast aside, their worth unrecognized, and therefore have been unsuccessful in traditional foster care settings in Franklin, Osage, and Gasconade counties in Missouri.

The specialized resources at Hope Ranch reclaim the potential found in these young lives with the love of Jesus giving kids family-style homes, therapeutic education, trauma-focused counseling, and weekly service learning, all rooted in foundations of faith with character education.

"Just as each of us has one body with many members

"Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christs we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to us." Romans 12:4-6

Making and sharing artwork is one way to support the important work of non-profits helping those who need it most in different seasons. This year, Art & Souls Creative Studio developed a retail fundraiser for the Hope Ranch of Missouri serving youth and at-risk teens.
