How To Make Your Bible Study Time Creative #marketsofsunshine

 Here are some quick and easy tips to make your Bible study time creative.  They are proven to get you started off on the right foot with the right mindset.  Are you ready!  Let's go! #marketsofsunshine

 

Tip #1 - Change From Boring To Creative by making a mind shift of how you view your Bible study time.  Don't just read the Bible and research a topic. Take it a step further by writing down what you learned.  But in a creative way with art!  Catch my last blog post about How to make Creative Bible Study Notes in your art journal <<<click <<<

Tip #2 - Decorate your journal or notebook cover.  Take the cover from boring to amazing with just a few simple elements.  I'll show you how in the video below.  You don't even have to spend any money on supplies.  You probably have them already on hand. Or should!

Tip #3 - Add color to the pages of your study notes using markers, washi tape (I explain it in the video too) sticker and rubber stamps.

Tip #4 - Change your view.  By that I mean look out a window at nature or go outside if you can and sit in nature before you start reading and writing.  This will immediately help your mind to relax and put you in touch with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.  What better way to meditate on the things you are learning about him and his purposes.

Tip #5 - Meditate by thinking and talking about what you read and learned with someone who cares about what you are doing.  Don't waste time trying to share your excitement with someone who will miss the import of what you are feeling.  Share these spiritual gems with someone else is a Bible reader.

Now, to take this a step further I go in depth in my video over on my YouTube channel at Markets of Sunshine.  I hope you'll take the time to watch and Subscribe to my channel so you don't miss out on any of my Creative tutorials.

Thanks for being here and following along with me on this Creative Journey!

Warm Christian Love,

Marsha

Craft Room Makeover On a Budget

  Get our DIY tutorial here. <<<<<

I hope you enjoy this craft room makeover on a budget video.
You're going to take a little tour with me of my craft room makeover.  

It took us less than a month to complete.  We started by taking everything out of the room.  Put non-voc paint on the walls (the best thing to do for your health).  

Next, I ordered the new furniture pieces I wanted in the room.  As you'll notice I went with a white and farmhouse gray combination.
To bring in more of the farmhouse feel I found an adorable wire shelf unit that hangs on the wall.

To learn where I bought each piece click here to nab your craft room makeover tutorial.  You'll get more inspiration and budget makeover ideas delivered to your inbox monthly.

I don't really send out every week.  I just go with my flow.  Living with Lyme disease keeps me on my toes.  I never know if I'm going to get a few hours of sleep all in a row or hit and miss.

So, it's really hard to plan things.  I have to let my body guide me.  I have the best husband in the world. He is so supportive and understands that I need to go at my own pace.  He doesn't sleep well either so we ask each other every morning if we had a good night or not.

At least I can stay home and rest the whole day.  He has to go out and slave to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table and a way for me to go to my monthly doctor appointments.

So when you buy a product from one of my Etsy shops you're making it possible for me to stay creative and help others live a better life.  

It may not seem like a big deal to you but it's a very big deal to me.
So, I wanted to say: Thank You! to all who support my small business and help me live a creative life.

Want to make my day brighter?  Just visit one of our shops and pick up a little gift for yourself or a friend.  I promise it will put a smile on your face when you experience shopping with us.

You'll find all sorts of fun and carefree accessories for travel and every day life in my Markets Of Sunshine <<< click) shop.

Want a vintage gift that is unique and rare?  Then head on over to our Pioneer Fundraiser <<< click) shop.  Every sale helps us get one step closer to retiring my husband so we can volunteer in the community and help others live a better life.

 Hi, I'm Marsha, the owner of this little blog.
I hope you enjoy my adventures in living a carefree and happy life.
 

Adulting Reward System #2 Tea Therapy

Adulting Reward System #2 Tea Bath Therapy

 Relax though sore muscles in a warm tea bath after a day of housework.

It's easy to make with a few ingredients you already have in your kitchen.

Think of it as bath time therapy.

I just happen to be a tea lover and so you'll find a lot of my rewards are centered around tea themes.

Here is what you'll need...

 Tealightfultea

candles

cup of brewed tea

tub of warm water

soft music

Fill up your bathtub with warm water.  I start out on hot and by the time it's full it's just the right temperature to soak in.  Add your favorite herbal tea blend in a cotton organic muslin bag. 
Note: Some berries can stain the tub.
  I use organic tea herbal blends. Hang the bag over the spout and let the hot water run over the bag to make the tea infusion in your bath water.  I let mine soak in the tub after it was full for 30 minutes.

My demonstrator link is here at Tealightfultea

Put a few jar candles around the tub on the shelf.  I happen to have a big built in window seat in mine.

Brew your favorite tea blend and turn on some soft music.  Now, get in an relax for a while.

I recommend doing this right before bedtime and you'll have blissful sleep.

Whatever time you decide is up to you.  But, prepare to relax the rest of the day.

If you are just discovering my 2019 Organizing Challenge you'll want to go back to the beginning and read each post up to here.  This is a really fun way to make your home beautiful again.

Here they are in order below... Enjoy!

 Disclaimer:  You should check with your doctor before adding any new routine to your life.
I've looked up an article for you to consider before trying this tea therapy out.
