MADE {Bravely Exploring God-centered Creativity}


I have been outrageously blessed.  Yes you read that right.  A friend recently shared that she will be attending the MADE e-Course.  I followed the link on her Facebook page and read the blog posts with longing.  Oh how I would love the opportunity to do something like that I thought.  My Heavenly Father heard my hearts cry. An hour later a little note popped into my inbox saying here is a gift for you to attend {MADE} this year.

Wow speak about being overwhelmed by the goodness of God and the generosity of a friend. 

What is it ?
Made is a new e-course of over four months of weekly workshops, exercises, and prompts from 12 inspirational instructors.

Do YOU need to be artistic ?
No you do not in the traditional sense of the word.  My drawing ability extends as far as stick figures where people are concerned but I love to write. I have collected plenty of ideas on Pinterest to attempt some art journaling but I have not gathered up the courage to attempt it.  So I'm hoping that with the support and encouragement from the {MADE} team I will finally get pen to paper.  I also love to take photographs.  I am really excited by this opportunity and hope that you my friends will join me to take a journey of discovery.

I have a love affair with beautifully illustrated books for children.  I have been browsing the shelves looking for traditional stories to read to Sir N. I recently stumbled across this book.  I love the rich texture of the illustrations.


If you have small children at home I highly recommend this rendition of this traditional tale.

 Welcome to Tuesdays Treasures.  I started these posts as a way of sharing great books in honour of my friend in New Zealand who would arrive with the treasures she had unearthed at her weekly trip to the library!

There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library. Grab the button for your post and add a link to your post below. I would love to read about your treasures.
