Bible Journaling & Creative Expressions of Faith

Hi Everyone,

In 2014 an Australian fan wrote to let me know she had shared my lettering videos with her Bible Journaling group. I wrote back to thank her for sharing my videos, and to ask about Bible Journaling, as it was a term I had never heard before. She introduced me.

Barbi’s Butterflies

Hi Everyone,

My friend Barbi, who would have turned 75 today, was an incredible human being. Through the years she became my ‘go-to’ person whenever I needed a sounding board. Barbi was one of the most intelligent, creative, passionate and opinionated people I have ever known. We shared a love.

Brokenhearted Dawn

Hi Everyone,
