Happy 2022, BQ Sisters!

I hope your New Year is off to a great start!

Seems like we've already smushed in quite a bit (vacation, illness, birthdays, family visits, launching a son for a semester abroad, etc.) I've been trying to establish a new routine, but every day has presented with some unusual circumstances. C'est la vie!

I'm still tying up loose ends from 2021, including some Christmas-y stuff. How 'bout you? I'm kinda bouncing back-and-forth between planners and my monthly journals... not fully settled into a 2022 rhythm yet. I suspect I'm not alone in this!😜

Some days I'm reflective of events from the recent past and other days I'm itching to start new projects to move forward. Hope you're finding YOUR balance in all this, too.

Have you chosen a Word for the Year? Here's a resource that might help you focus in on one. Thanks, Deb, for sharing!

Need to save a few steps getting your flip card set ready for this month?

Mary Jo typed up all the daily verses onto a printable set for us. Use coupon code CREATION to get the set free til the end of January.

** Note that Day 21 is 1st Peter and that Day 22 is broadened to Isaiah 42: 5-6

You can use elements from the Creation Sticker Sheet to decorate your flip cards as well as your BQ pages. Here's a sneak peek of the set I printed on rainbow-colored card stock in keeping with our creation theme this month:

Quick tip if you've got the Creation Sticker Sheet and would like to use the long verse for Day 24: Convert two squares into rectangles as shown in the photo below.

What other CREATIVITY do you have going on in your life or cultivate in your family?

ABC Journal

I've got page "starter" ideas for each letter of the alphabet on the ABC Boards, or you can see a  Flip Through of ABC Journal to help you brainstorm. 

If you click on these links and follow through to the comments, often there are pages that other BQ members have shared. Check the "C is for" to see some examples...and feel free to share YOUR pages, too! (partial or complete pages: your choice!)

          A is for         B is for...        C is for...       D is for...           E is for...

BQ EVENTS

I'm continuing to pray about the BQ schedule for the year. I'd appreciate your prayers and insights, too. Send me your thoughts and ideas...

Our first Zoom chat of 2022 is THIS Tuesday, January 18th, at 11:00 am central. RSVP at link below:

I'm grateful for some warmer January afternoons and enjoying some walks with Katie to observe God's creation in action. The trees are budding and squirrels are crazy busy!

Hugs and prayers,

Dianna
