Description:
Installment #3 - "In The Garden" In swap #1 we started a series where each person will have their own book, which may be a 3-ring binder or any journal book of your choice. For each swap, each person will send/receive one page to insert into her book. Each swap in the series will have a theme. You may choose to participate in one or all of the swaps. For this swap you will make one page (5.5 x 8.5 inches) for one partner. This page will be your visual image of what the words "In The Garden" mean to you. You may think of the hymn "In the Garden" or your own flower or vegetable garden, gardening in general, and even things you find in a garden 'birds & butterflies. This is completely sender's choice so you can start right away. It should be mostly visual, but may contain words also. You may choose to write something to send with the picture but it is not required. Your page should be firm enough to hold whatever you put on the page, as it may be 3 dimensional. Sign the front of the page. You do not need to decorate the back of your page because the page may be glued in a book of some kind. You may use paint, collage, stamped images -- any medium. Stickers are allowed, but they are not to be the main focus. Anything goes, but take time to make something you would love to receive. Please post questions in the comments section.

In the Garden

I come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses . . .

And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other, has ever, known!

He speaks and the sound of His voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that he gave to me, Within my heart is ringing . . .

And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own, And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other, has ever, known!

Words and Music by C. Austin Miles , 1912

Miles intended it as an Easter song; the speaker of the poem is Mary Magdalene.

What a wonderful theme!!! I used to hear my Mom sing this hymn as a small child when she was puttering around the house or working in the kitchen

I sang this at my Mother's graveside when I visited at Easter :)

I love the song and it is new to me. I could not resist I joined up. This will be a first page for me. I have lots of neat garden things to collage paint etc. I am going to do this in between waiting on scrap book pages to come together. I am waiting on some supplies. What better than to do something else new.
