Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! God has blessed us so much. I'm so thankful that God sent his one and only son to die for my sins. Because of that I can have eternal life. I'm thankful for my hubby, kids, and the rest of our families. We have a house, food, and my husband has a job. Those are just the basics, I could go on and on and on! I hope you can all be truly thankful this Thanksgiving. (and every day)

Project..

This is a tutorial for a prayer journal. You could make this into about anything: notes, journal, address book, grocery list, budget book, you get the idea!!!

First step is to get out all your crafting supplies and make a big mess!!! (i.e.- scrap booking materials, glue, scissors, embellishments)



Next get a notebook of some kind. (I wanted a spiral bound one, but you could use a mini composition one too) I'm using this for a prayer journal, so to make mine more usable I wanted a spiral one.

Next get some ribbon and tape it to the front and back covers. I used clear packing tape. I put mine in the middle of the book so I can easily tie it shut. You can see in the next 2 pictures the ribbon taped to both sides.

Next cut card stock to fit the covers. I covered the front and back and the front inside. You can see the cover at the edge by the spiral. (if that bothers you, you can coordinate your colors or use one of the composition type books) Glue them on however you like. (I had some scrap booking dots that I used and some craft glue.)


Now it's time for embellishing. I made a label and I also added a bible verse label. (eph. 6:18) You could dress it up with whatever you have, or however you want!

You're almost done! I almost left it like this, but was afraid the bible verse would get in the way.


So I decided to glue the verse on at the top. (the ribbon is also tied to the spiral) Now you're done!

Mine will be filled with my prayers. When I'm cooking or doing my dishes I'll open it up and be able to spend my chore time more beneficially. I thought this was a pretty frugal craft and very easy! It would make a great gift!

Scripture Time

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah

10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

Scripture Time

Psalm 45

17 I will perpetuate your memory through all generations;
therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.

Some of my favorites....

Sorry I've been missing! I've gotten into taking pictures and lurking on photographers websites and blogs!! I'm learning some new stuff, but still don't have a clue on most of it!
I've had adobe photoshop elements 5 for 3-4 years and didn't have a clue I could do all I could do! I'm still playing and learning, but enjoying it! These are some of my favorite shots I've taken in the past week! I think some of them may be over edited. Like I said I'm still learning!!!!
