a wife and momma of three who loves Jesus and planting seeds with a smell of dirt. Painting canvas with a side of yarn or fabric scraps is a favorite too. Hoping to inspire women through writing and Bible journaling with Jesus, grace and seeds. All are welcome at the table.

how to create a journal / smash book out of a cereal box:

This is an easy and fun craft that can be used to create a smash book or a journal filled with all sorts of fun things.

Bigger cereal boxes work best or cut to the size you want.

Use newspaper or if using brown craft paper, crunch into a ball as though you would throw it away. Uncrinkle it and using a craft glue, glue it to the outside and inside of the cereal box that you formed as a book

Using a distressed /antique vintage colored ink stamp, glide the stamp over the crinkled paper to make it look antique.

Decorate with buttons, yarn, or fabric scraps.

Poke 3 holes in the center binding and use yarn to weave in and out of the holes to hold papers, smash journal pages, construction paper creations, or pictures.

The chunkier and the messier, the better!
