Scripture Canvas

A while back I found this idea to create a Bible verse canvas. I knew I wanted to have Jackson help create one with one of the verses he has learned.

Step 1: Head to Hobby Lobby to purchase all of your supplies.

Step 2: Have your husband measure everything out and place stickers in correct places.

Step 3: Let Jackson paint the stripes different colors and keep telling him it is ok to get his hands dirty.

Step 4: Paint each other.

 Step 5: Let the paint dry, then peel up stickers.

Step 6: Admire your work.

Step 7: Repeat steps 1-6 with another verse and canvas.

Step 8: Hang in Jackson's room where he wants them.

I love how they turned out, and Jackson is pretty proud of his work too!

Christmas Crafts

Something came over me, oh yeah it was Pinterest, and I decided to try my hand at some of the cute crafts that have been pinned all around me.

#1 Christmas Art

I printed off some different Christmas prints and framed them. I really like how this first one turned out. I think the red frame adds a lot to it. I put it on the ledge above the sink. I enjoy looking at it while I do the dishes.

 The other print I framed is cute, but doesn't make me smile as much as the other one. I placed it over on our shelves in the family room right in front of Jackson's Advent tree.

#2 Christmas Banner

I printed off the Merry Christmas letters on card stock. I bought three different scrapbook papers and glued the letters on to them. I punched two holes and then strung silver rope through the letters.

I had Brian hang the banner in our dinning room. I think it turned out well and like see it hanging there. 

#3 Christmas Flowers

This is not Pinterest inspired. I just needed something more wintery in the entry way. I like the way the red and gold look together with the "dead" branch.

#4 Jackson's craft

Also not Pinterest, rather Bible inspired. After reading our advent story for the night about the Shepards and our great Shepard. Jackson enjoyed gluing on the cotton balls. We wrote his new memory verse on there as well. He added his own drawings; a manager with baby Jesus and a racetrack for the race cars.
