Marvelous Monday #85

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 85th 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.
As we end the year 2019, I want to take this time to thank you for visiting my blog each Monday.  I hope that you have come to enjoy the projects I share each week.
Today's projects are using a stamp set called Beautiful Friendship. The sentiments on this stamp set read "So Very Happy to Know You",  "I Love Our Beautiful Friendship", "Birthdays Are The Best Days", and "A Very Big Congratulations And Best Wishes To You":

Marvelous Monday #84-Merry Christmas!



Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 84th 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.
This is the Monday before Christmas.  I would like to take this time to say Merry Christmas to you and your family.  How will you be celebrating Christmas? For me, I will have dinner with my three daughters tomorrow, on Christmas Eve.  Lasagna and salad are on the menu.  On Christmas Day, we share a meal and fellowship with my extended family. We also play the dice game, which has become a family tradition for many years. 
Today, I have a quick idea to make your own wrapping paper if you have a small gift to wrap.  Simply take a piece of computer paper and stamp images onto the computer paper.  The stamping can be done any way you would like it to be.  On my sample, I took the stamp set called Perfectly Plaid and stamped Merry Christmas in red and the trees in green. My only suggestion would be to leave a little bit of open space.

May you have a Marvelous Monday and very Merry Christmas.
