Lesson #6 New Bible Journal

My Bible journaling took a new turn when I bought a new Bible from a local thrift store. I jazzed it up with some decorative duct tape and washi tape.

The front and back are covered in this polka dot duct tape,
the side is covered with pink polka dot washi tape.

The first page of each book I put a strip of washi tape along the side and folded it over to the back. The tabs are for pages that I have done journaling on.

I have had fun working in my new Bible. I'm not going to talk about all the ones I have done in the past, but I will post pictures of them below for you to look at. As I continue with this however, I plan to post about a certain scripture and how it's talking to me and affecting me with my life. I strongly believe that journaling is an awesome way to begin a new spiritual walk and help bring your focus to a certain area. Unfortunately, I think the focus is getting taken less off of why we are doing it and taken a turn to how well we do. I have invited people to our Monday night class who are very interested, but refuse to come because they don't have the skills or creativity that others do. Think of journaling like you do yoga (if you have ever been to a yoga class). They always tell us to do whatever is comfortable for you and your body, you know your body better then anyone and not to push it to far. Journaling is the same way! Do what makes you happy, confident, and comfortable. Don't be envious of others and their abilities rather be prideful in your own.

Lesson #5 The Erratic Escape

Back in May my parents purchased us an outdoor kennel (size 5 x 10; plenty of room for two little beagles) as a graduation present for me. We were super excited to use it since the dogs wouldn't have to be caged up when we were gone for long periods of time. Not to long after we installed it BO had surgery to get his manly hood taken away (this is important later). One beautiful Saturday, four days after his surgery, my husband agreed to go to town and do errands with me; which he absolutely hates doing on weekends. Before we left we put BO in his cage inside the house with his little plastic cone on his head to prevent him from licking his incisions. We didn't want him together with Daisy because we didn't want her licking him; so she went in the outside kennel. We just had one last stop to make at home of economy to look at a dog igloo to go in their kennel for extra shelter and privacy. While walking into the store we notice the sky was quickly getting dark an...

Lesson #2 Independence Day Decorating

I love holidays and decorating for holidays; be that as it may, I am to much of a procrastinator to actually get decorations up before the holiday gets here. Unless it's Christmas, since I normally decorate for that around Thanksgiving. My plans for the 4th of July this year were big - for every decoration I was making for myself I was going to make another one to sell. Hmmm well since the fourth is only six days away I would say I'm not doing very good. I did get one project complete and I started another one yesterday My complete project is my holiday coasters. I made these last year for Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day; last years coasters were not good quality at all so I tried something different this year and I like them a lot more. Materials: Plain white kitchen/bathroom tiles. I got mine at home depot because of the military discount. There are like fifty cents a piece Mod Podge (Glossy or Matte) Something to smooth the Mod Podge with (old c...

Pinterest Fail #1 - Wine Bottle Painting

I mentioned in my last post that I was working on another Independence Day decoration. I still haven't completely finished it, but I'm close enough. The idea with this project is to paint wine bottles (or sparkling grape juice bottles in my case), to resemble the American flag. Pinterest Idea: Of course, I couldn't find a blog or website that actually told me how they made this; so I took it into my own hands. I already had the bottles and was feeling confident that painting them wasn't going to be an issue. I don't have a picture of the bottle before painting, but I'm just going to assume you have seen a glass bottle. Okay, moving on. While I was at my dad's house this weekend I grabbed some wooden dowels (pictured above), this made painting the bottles fairly easy; you get better coverage and you don't have to be careful where you set it while it's drying. Speaking of the paint, I used regular white spray paint that I got from Menard...
