Our fellowship time

Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies

Refrigerated

• 1 Egg, large

Baking & Spices

• 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp Baking soda

• 1/2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice

• 3/4 cup Sugar

• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Dairy

• 1/2 cup Butter, unsalted

Mix together and roll into 1 inch balls. Add to Baking sheet with room to spread and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.  Cool and enjoy.  

Diy Kids crafts

It's Saturday Kids Crafts.  Some fun popsicle sticks crafts today

A apple a day made with 3 popsicle sticks with construction paper apple pieces. 

To end August and start Sept; scarecrow 

6 popsicle sticks with construction hat and leaves. And add face decorations.  

Dried flower Suncatcher

 

• Clear glue, washable
• Wooden Leaf & Flower Press
• Waxed paper or silicone baking sheet
• Dried or fresh florals, leaves or other botanicals

To start, place your wax paper or silicone baking sheet down on a flat surface. Grab your glue and create your shape of choice.

The size is up to you, but keep in mind that handling gets more difficult the larger the sun catcher.

You'll want your layer of glue thin, but not so thin that you have holes in your design. 1/4-1/3 of an inch should be the perfect thickness. 

Add floral elements, creating a fun design or pattern. Once your design is done let it sit to dry. The perfect amount of dry is when there is still a bit of tackiness in the back of the middle. That way you can just stick it right to the window without the addition of more glue or a hook.

Very carefully remove the wax paper or mat, stick it on a sunny window and admire your beautiful art!

• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Stir in butter. Place egg yolks in a small bowl and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into remaining sugar mixture. Bring to a boil and continue to cook while stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat. Pour filling into baked pastry shell. 
• To Make Meringue:
• In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. Add sugar gradually, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie, sealing the edges at the crust.

Sunday message

 Bible Journaling...

In my weekly Bible class I get lots of questions about Journaling in a Bible and what can be used instead.  

This Bible journal is in a simple notebook or  journal book. Using paper,  stickers and printed verse. Making for a stunning page. 

Bible Journaling doesn't need to be complicated.  Use basic supplies and enjoy your time with The Lord. 

Grow Where planted

Grow where you are planted.  

Is today bible journaling: 

Gensis 1 : 28 

Grow where you are planted quote Is not an exacat quote from the Bible verse but the meaning is similiar.  To  grow and multiply after planting the seeds of life and hope. 

This page uses a regular Bible.  And I stamped this favorite Unity Stamp on my page in black . Then I colored it in with marks.  

Tip.....

Make sure before adding stamp place a piece of paper or plastic behind the page, to stop bleeding through to next page.

Sunflower kids crafts

It's time for more kids crafts 

The flower is from a paper plate and the middle is made from seeds. 

After painting the white paper plate yellow, let dry. Then cut with scissors around edges to make petals.  Then add glue to center and add sunflower seeds for a sensory feel. Add stem with a green painted paper towel roll.

Diy Coffee can

It's Free Friday.   

Take an old coffee can and repurpose 

using a little paint and label . I turned this into a plastic bag dispenser.  Or maybe a wipe dispenser.  

I use chalk paint on lid and bottom.  Let dry and put a hole in lid the pull through.  Make a label for front and glue on. 

Have a great weekend 😀
