Scripture Memory Books - Pintrest Project #2

I saw this idea on Pintrest and knew I had to make one - I made 3!!!!

I found cute photo holders at Micheals - this one was only a dollar!!!



Andy and I looked at verses that were core to Christianity, that were easy to memorize and that were pretty common.  Then, we went online and just googled images and picked the ones we liked!!!  Here are a few of the pages:



I love the little girl and how happy she looks - maybe one day that little girl will be a picture of Abigail!


 
I love the clip art of the kid with the book here - I think it goes well with the verse!

 


Love the tree!!!
 
 
 
I didn't have enough room for just one card so the armor of God verses had to go on two!
 


This is a close up of the pics - Andy picked them out - love the armored fella on the left!
 


I love the maze on this one!  And the TRUTH part in the magnifying glass says LIES - meaning to watch for the lies that are in the part-truths Satan tells.
 
 

 

The other two photo holders are plain in case I want to add decals to them later.



These were a little bit more challenging as I had to find a verse for each letter and as I am a bit weird, the verse had to be just right!!  Some of the verses are long, but if I have learned anything from working with the boys it's that they are not to be underestimated in memorizing things!! 

The first one is ABCs for bible characters.  You will see that I had to get a little creative with some of them!



 



 


The other ABC one is with verses with a picture to help with memorizing - some of the pictures are a little obscure, but that should help with memorizing.





 
 
If anyone wants the verses we used, let me know and I can send them!
 
Hope you enjoyed!


Scarf Holder - Pintrest Project #1

So, one of the reasons for starting a blog was to post the Pintrest projects I have done.

The first project I embarked on was for my many, wonderful scarves - probably not as many as others, but I needed somewhere neat for them to be.  I don't wear these scarves very much as North Carolina weather is so interesting - it can be cold, but not cold enough to wear a scarf and I tend to wear jeans and my coat!!!

I found this on Pintrest and as we had a few shower rings lying around, it fit my needs.   I spray painted white shower rings, let them dry, and put them on a hanger - simple!!

In hindsight I probably should have found some clear rings to paint or hung the rings up while I painted them.  The paint came off when I turned them to the other side to paint, so some of them have paint chipped away.  It works for me for now - maybe one day I will try again!!



This is the finished product with my scarves!



A close up of the hanger - shiny!



This is a shot of the paint chipping - just so you would know what I was talking about!
