The Powerful Message Of Some Christian Pens and Pencils

There are approximately 20,000 pens and pencils in my house right now. I've inherited a large collection that spans many decades, and I am absolutely in love with every single one of them. I'm a pencil and paper girl, for sure, so this is a dream come true.

They're divided between some wood boxes and a plethora of shoeboxes. I opened the very first box, a tiny pink shoebox, and I couldn't believe what was in it.

A collection of pens and pencils that share the Gospel!

The plan of salvation with bands of color. Black - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 Red - The blood of Jesus Christ ... cleanseth from all sin. 1 John 1:7 White - Wash me ... I shall be whiter than snow. Psalm 51:7 Green - Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18 Gold - In my Father's house are many mansions. John 14:2

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

In God We Trust!

Welcome to our Sunday school. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go. Psalm 32:8

I will rise again.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14:1

I love Jesus. Pursue Righteousness, faith, love, peace. 2 Timothy 2:22

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Jesus is my answer.

What may be the very first fidget spinner, with a red ring around the end. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10

Cast thy bread upon the waters for thou shalt find it after many days.

With a business name and phone number: Whosoever shall call ... shall be saved. Romans 10:13

And my personal favorite had a sliding band around it with "Where to Find" written on it. As you spin the band, there are different topics and corresponding Bible verses. For example: The Abiding Chapter - John 15. Consecration Verse - Romans 12:9. Last Command - Acts 1:8. 

What a blessing to my heart to know that these churches, businesses and the people behind them were this dedicated to sharing the Gospel with everyone they interacted with. Now I have to decide which one to use first!

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
