Welcome to Week 3 of our June 2025 "Rest & Peacefulness" Art Journaling Challenges. In this “hurry up and get it done” society, it becomes harder and harder to find time to relax and get true rest. And I don’t just mean for 5 minutes until you catch your breath! I mean a real, relaxing time of a couple of hours at least! Resting doesn't necessarily mean you have to sit/lie and do nothing! I have several activities where I am moving that still lends themselves to feeling rested! I think real restfulness leads to peacefulness of our entire being and helps us to recharge our batteries!
For this week’s Rest & Peacefulness art journaling challenge I want you to think about an activity that you really enjoy doing that helps you to Rest and feel Peaceful in your body, soul, and spirit. If you can’t think of anything, then that is an indication that it has been too long and you need to start doing some things that help you to feel rested and peaceful…and that you can turn into a habit! Even God rested after He finished His work of Creation!
JUST DO IT!
Here are some quotes to maybe stir your thoughts. Feel free to use one or all or none for your Rest & Peacefulness page!
I can’t wait to see your Restful and Peaceful pages! Be sure to post your page in this thread. You may give someone else some inspiration along the way!
Here’s my sample page:

You can choose to do a single page, double page, tag, TN each week, or use a divided template—one part for each week. If you don’t have the Divided Template and would like to have it, you can get it here at Dropbox. Thank you to Ona @wombat146 for providing the template choices for us! If you use the template, we would love it if you post incrementally: post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and so on until the finished page in the fourth week.
Again—the template is NEVER a requirement, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
