Finding Jayne // identity crisis

So, as I have eluded in previous posts – mostly in the very beginning of the month – I have been dealing with a case of identity crisis. Not in a crazy, dive off the deep end way but in the, I just can’t seem to be joyful or find confidence way. I shared most about it when I shared about my sweet friend Kenna. I’m not going to share any more about it here today, but head over to Tirzah Magazine and read my guest post today! I share the beginning of my identity crisis and what my Heavenly Father has shown me along the way.

I mention in there that the whole identity thing lead me to write a devotional journal on God’s love. ” In March, I began to write a devotional journal about the love of God, and let me tell you, doing so revealed so much to me.” I wanted to share that journal with you today. I am very excited about its production and development and can’t wait to show you!

There it is. The books are 8.5×5.5 with the covers being just slightly larger. The cover is printed on a heavy, soft felt-weave paper, trimmed, scored and folded my myself. The inside pages are printed on 20# soft white also folded by me. The books are each bound with three gold staples along the spine also done by myself. I love being able to put my own hand to the production of these to keep the cost down as well as making it a little more personal to me.

It is my hope that this devotional journal will be the first of a series of four consisting of Fall into His: Love, Grace, Joy and Peace. I wanted to use this one as my beta piece though. Right now I have one available in Etsy but if I get a lot of response about it I may take pre-orders for more!

Each day is laid out with a verse and then some heart-thoughts on the scripture, a prayer to get you started and almost a whole page to journal your thoughts, feelings, a continued prayer or whatever it is that you need for the day. There are thirty days of study and they build upon one another and become more challenging as the book progresses.

There will be a journal in an upcoming giveaway that I am planning to host at the end of the month! Oh my goodness, that is next week already!!! Wowzer! Watch for the giveaway late next week and be sure to enter!

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed the post at Tirzahmag.com and the little bit about who I am at my core.

In Progress // karar academy – classical ballet training

Hey there friend! So yesterday I shared a little about my current project that is kind of ongoing, today I want to share with you a monthly client of mine!

You’ve seen these girls before:

They’re just so lovely. I loved doing their portraits so much.

My friend Holly is an all around exquisite beauty both inside and out. She does amazing things with teaching these girls. Holly first came to me for a simple program I believe and from there our client/work relationship turned into designing her a website, a logo, flyers, ads and so on. It has been such fun to work with her. She is one of those people with whom you can never do anything wrong. Even if you are in the wrong, Holly is so very gracious. If you live in the Polk County area, head over to her website for class information:

If you don’t live in the Polk County area but would be interested in seeing Holly and her girls perform she is available for bookings! She takes these three beauties with her on the road – her student company – and they do performances for churches, missions events, family events and so much more. You can find more information on that here…

Here are a few more of the portraits from our fun little session:

 

 

I have such fun working with these girls and with Holly. I keep up her website monthly or whenever she sends me information that needs updating. It really is a fun partnership in that. 🙂

In honor of the grace a beauty of these girls enjoy yourselves a free printable:

Have a happy Wednesday, as Pooh would say!
