Marvelous Monday #19

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 19th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.  
For the past two weeks I have been sharing some ideas for Halloween treats without candy, you can see them in this post:

Today I would like to share another idea.  I decided to package up some pencils along with a pencil sharpener.  I apologize that the the bag I'm using to package this up is causing a bit of a glare.They look really nice in person 😃
Hopefully you like my result:

 Today's Scripture verse:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart." Psalm 139:23
May you have a "Marvelous Monday".

Last week in this post:
http://joyfulheartcreationsanddesigns.blogspot.com/2018/09/marvelous-monday-17.html I talked about finding alternative ideas for Halloween treats without candy.  Today I thought I would share another idea. I found some small tubs of  "Play-Doh" two tubs fit perfectly in the clear treat boxes, I tied some ribbon around the box. I found some small bags that can be used to put the gift in. Along with a sticker and a stamped sentiment I punched this out and layered it onto a colored piece of card stock. I would like to share my results:

Today's Scripture:

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I say it again: Rejoice!"  Philippians 4:4

May you have a Marvelous Monday.

The weather here in Minnesota is starting to become a little bit cooler and the air is starting to feel like Fall.  This the time of year for bonfires, hay rides and also planning for Halloween treats and activities. I was thinking today, it would be nice to have an alternative to candy for Halloween treats.  My thoughts went to packaging up some microwave popcorn.  Using a mini gold striped treat bag, a gold clip, add a sticker, stamp a sentiment this is what I came up with.  I hope you like the results:

Today's Scripture reading:
"Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground"
Psalm 143:10.
May you have a "Marvelous Monday".

Marvelous Monday #16

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 16th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday".  Today also happens to be Labor Day, an official holiday where the banks and post offices are closed.  Maybe you have a day off from work, may you have an enjoyable, relaxing day.
Perhaps in a small way I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.  
I'm excited to show you the "Marvelous Monday" crafting project today.
This is a mini tea tin decorated with patterned paper and inside are two packets of tea. What a sweet gift this would be for a friend, family member,or coworker.

Today's Scripture reading:

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good". Romans 12:21.

May you have a Marvelous Monday
