Next Step ...

Living my best life … Giving it all I have … Shining the light of Christ … all these things drive my passion.

My aim is to encourage Christians just like me, to stay connected to the people in their life and to reach out and encourage others to come along for the ride.

Communication with others and God.

Good old fashioned communication … friendship based communication … 

genuine heartfelt … God Love.

I do this by making collage postcards … and the next step for me is doing markets in the new year.

(my church has a catch phrase ... Next Step ... so what is your next step?)

My theme is all about Jesus.

But in all this clarity I sometimes get a bit distracted by the buzz of being commercial … of reaching a wider audience … making cards that have a more general theme.

God always brings me home … and reminds me.  He is a good God.  This week’s reminder was listening to a podcast by Jonathan Fields, Good Life Project.

An interview with Brad Feld. 

Some days I am like a kid in a candy shop … I see all kinds of opportunities ... and my creative brain goes bezerk … but all good things are not necessarily what God has planned for me.

My 2% customer is a mini of me … all about a living faith and relationship with God … and reaching out to community … staying connected.

Thanks God for placing a passion in my heart and working it out through my hands.

So if God has done this for me … He can so do the same for you … Just ask Him … then wait to see the opportunity and possibility that comes.

Be blessed and be a blessing

just like a chocolate box ...

GodTags is all about telling the people in your life they are loved and valued.

That is why I make and sell postcards ... an easy way to write a quick note and send them out into the world ... with an encouraging word.

My latest postcard packs come in a chocolate colored glitter box.  A little bit of sparkle that can be kept and reused as a keepsake box once the cards are all sent.

Feel the smile these bring to your face ... now think of someone who needs your love and encouragement ... send them a note or give them a call.

Now you have just passed on God's Love ... it's as easy as that ... DONE!

Be blessed and be a blessing

Hello wonderful world ...

I get so exciting when I am creating and dreaming and pondering ... so here are my latest creations.  I have called them the Jesus series and Amen series.  I really love the impact of Black and White and shadowed text.

Lime has been a color That I have been exploring for a while ... it is so unlike me - it almost seems perfect.

Well ... onto my next creating and pondering splurge.

... JOY and GRACE postcards ...

I am really liking my new postcard series ...JOY and GRACE.

This series is all collage ... with text and colored letters ... all individually collaged by hand ... layering up ... but after making this series I am seriously considering doing the next lot digitally ... just to see how it looks?? To see if I can achieve the same look using Photoshop or Illustrator.

I will let you  know how the experiment goes ... 

VERY EXCITING ...

Be blessed and be a blessing
