Hello friend!I'm so happy you've made your way here! Enjoy these extra goodies!  A Recipe To Celebrate!Here's a fun and simple recipe to help you CELEBRATE how beautiful God is! Let's Get Creative!Are you curious about what to do with the balloon in this month's envelope?
When you're ready, grab your supplies: Balloon (from your envelope) Toilet Paper Tube Markers, Crayons, Stickers, etc. Scissors Decorate your toilet paper tube however you like! The more color, the better! Cut off just a bit of the top of your balloon. Tie a knot at the end of the balloon (where you would normally). Slip the balloon over one end of the toilet paper tube. It should stay on, but if it slips off, you need to secure it with tape. Fill your tube with bits of leaves and flower petals. Pull the end of the balloon and let it go, snapping it to the toilet paper tube. Do a little dance as you watch your confetti fly everywhere! Check out this video to see how we made ours!

Enjoy these extra goodies! Let's Get Creative!Let's get creative! Are you curious about what to do with the supplies in this month's envelope? When you're ready, grab your supplies: Watercolor Paper Bookmark (from your envelope) Tissue Paper Squares (from your envelope) Small Cup or Bowl of Water Small Paintbrush or Folded-Up Paper Towel Tray OR Sheet of Wax Paper/Aluminum Foil NOTE: This tissue paper isn't normal...it's called bleeding tissue paper because when you wet it, the color will "bleed" out of it. Before you begin, you'll want to set a tray or piece of wax paper or aluminum foil under your workspace so that the bleeding colors don't get on anything else. Dip your paintbrush in the water and "paint" water all over your bookmark (use the side that does NOT have the scratcher message). If you don't have a paintbrush, you can use some wet paper towel. Next, place the colored squares directly on the wet bookmark. You get to decide where they go and what it looks like! Sometimes it can be helpful to use your brush to smooth the square down onto the wet paper but your fingers will work just as well. You might notice bits of color spilling out of the tissue paper squares. This is exactly what we want to happen! Allow the tissue paper squares to sit on the watercolor paper as long as you like. When you're ready, you can peel the squares off and admire your colorful bookmark! Pull the yarn through the hole and tie it off to give yourself a little bow or tassle. Ta-daaa! Stick your bookmark in your Bible or favorite book and enjoy! Let's Pray Everyday!Learning to trust God takes practice! Download the special worksheet by clicking on the button below. Print it out and hang it up somewhere will you remember to pray to God every day for help trusting him!  Hello friend!I'm so happy you've made your way here! Enjoy these extra bonuses! Get Creative!Let's get creative! I'm sure you noticed a piece of vellum paper (very thin paper) in your envelope this month. Grab your colored pencils and add all the pizazz you want! When you're finished you can tape it to an empty sauce jar (we love spaghetti at our house!) and pop a little battery operated tea light or strand of twinkle lights inside. Or, if you prefer you can tape it to a window and watch the light illuminate your art. I've included my daughter's piece as an example below!
