Creative Bible

 Good Afternoon! 
Who knew it could still be this warm at the end of September?! I'm sad to see summer coming to a close, but excited about a new season! 

So, adult coloring books have been a hot item for quite a while now, and I'm sure most of you own one, if not more than one! It's supposed to be a stress reliever and helps you relax! 


Recently, I entered a giveaway and won a creative Bible. This Bible has verses enlarged on the side margins for you to color and decorate! It's like an adult coloring book, except it's verses in a Bible! I just think it's SO neat and had to share it with you! 

So here is what my afternoon looked like for a few minutes today. 


That's my prayer for today. 
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me."
-Psalm 51:10
Enjoy your afternoon!

What I'm Working On...

I made this scrapbook page last week and today I've been working on making page kits of the page for Rachel to sell in her store. The background image and the little Mickey Mouse images I cut out using the Brother Scan N Cut machine. The "Adventure" was also done with the Scan N Cut.


Also, who says fall decor needs to cost anything? I made this "blessings" banner for our mantle this week using only supplies I had on hand. The little flags are a neutral colored fabric on sticky paper. The string is twine that I had and the letters are black paper cut on the Cricut machine. I was happy with the end result. 

What have you been up to lately?

Alpacas...

I am a very happy owner of these 3 alpacas that arrived on the farm on Saturday! 
Comment with name suggestions! :) I've been out helping them get adjusted to their new home, so there's been no time for crafting today. :)

 It bothers me that there are spots on our property that I feel like I haven't properly appreciated yet. The top of the hay field, or the front porch, or the swing in the backyard are my favorite spots for quiet time, but today I convinced myself to branch out and try a new spot for today's quiet time and this one on the hill overlooking part of our driveway just may get added to my favorites. Basically, I just love every little corner of this place. 



In other news, I made these key chains this afternoon, and they will get added to my Etsy shop a bit later today. Here is the link

Wishing everyone a wonderful Tuesday!
