For those of you who have been following along on my BQ journey, you know that I'm doing a more personalized approach for each of my son's journals.

I wrote a message alongside this fun "personality" photo of my son a while back. Then later added the strip of washi tape with word "trust."

This week I finished up the page with some additional scriptures on trust, using my flip card set.

I share this elongated process with you as a reminder that we do NOT have to complete our pages in one sitting. It's okay to add a little bit at a time here and there. Sometimes we have to be patient for the momentum to resume at a later point.

We had an impromptu BQ session yesterday in which I got to introduce someone brand new to BQ and refresh another person who wanted to regain her momentum.

Although I spent more time engaging with new members, I did make some progress in one of my sons' BQ journals.

I found an anchor sticker in my stash to help illustrate the center verse. ⚓️

Wondering what to do with #washitape on your BQJ pages?

Here's an example of several ways to incorporate washi on one page:

** a strip as part of an illustration - blue patterned washi as bottom layer of sea;

** a full strip across bottom of page to ground the page (bonus if it reflects topic/theme⚓︎);

** washi with words/phrases - tear a keyword that can be used several times on the page;

Sometimes a good place to start or to regain momentum is adding a few tabs to your journal. If you haven't done any yet, here's a video overview.

The Original BQJ has a tab set for the Fruit of the Spirit that corresponds to the pages on these at the front. of the journal

If you'd like a pop of color, you can make tabs out of paint chips (readily available at paint/home stores as well as Walmart). Simply fold and cut!

September slipped right in here, didn't it?
