Year of Inspiration 7

Day 6, Artwork #7

One weeks worth of inspirational pieces already done and on their way to new homes. I like the sound of that. I really do enjoy this, and honestly, it takes me about 5 minutes or less to do each one...so I really think it is something I can stick with. I just hope that I can find homes for all of this artwork by the end of the year. I know that I can always share them with our ACTS sisters and brothers going on retreat this year. But I kind of like the idea of some total stranger seeing one of these pieces and being inspired by it and brave enough to request it! Is that you? This piece is spoken for, but come Wednesday, I will have one available. Unfortunately, I will be out of town, and not totally sure I will be able to post Friday through Monday. But I'm thinking that with my iPad etc, I should be able to handle that! As long as I take along my supplies and find time to do the art!

ACTS retreat

This is the logo I did for our parish's ACTS retreat. I am on the team again this year and am helping with the name tags and printed materials as well as playing guitar and singing for the masses. I really like being on team and it is a great bunch of women as usual. We are in the process of getting women to go on the retreat now, which can be challenging for our parish since so many people have already done it. Besides being a spiritual renewal, it is also a great way to meet other women of the parish who I've never met before--which is basically anyone who didn't have a child in one of my boys classes! You know how that is!

ACTS retreat

One of the other reasons that I have been so busy, is that I was on team for an ACTS retreat at our church, St. Gabriel the Archangel. What a great experience! 30 women leading 21 on a retreat to grow closer to God and as a church community. I was on the music team with 3 very talented women, which was a lot of work but a lot of fun. I also did all of the nametags, signs and graphics to go with our theme "Do Not Be Afraid". Below is a sample of a name tag.

The song for our retreat was writteen by David Kauffman, titled "Do Not Be Afraid" and I'm hoping it shows up on one of his future CDs soon.

If anyone has been on ACTS and wants to share, I would love to hear your story!
