CRAFTY CREATIONS: Crayon Art

Posted on by Mary

I have a friend named Heather….I got to know her very well when she went on Vacation with us this past October to Kentucky and she went as our babysitter.  I quickly discovered that she is VERY creative and a few days ago she posted this great picture on Facebook and with her permission I am sharing this super cool idea she found on YouTube.

As you can see she first covered everything around  the project with newspaper to protect it all from splatters.  She used a canvas board and then decided on the pattern in which to hot glue the crayon onto the  canvas board ….Then She made her name by using tape…masking if if i remember correcting…THEN the majic happens ! She used a Blow dryer to met the crayon and they ran down over the tape.   She the gently peeled off the masking tape and Viola!  ART!

I LOVED IT…so much do I am going to make each one of our kids their own in the rooms in our new house!!!

Way to go Heather!

DVD Review-Least Among Us (Lionsgate)

Posted on by Mary

This Movie is based on a true person.  Richard Kelly is a young African American  who is struggling during the time if Martin Luther king Jr  He has big plans as he has a job all lined up that will help pay for the medication his ailing mother needs.  without him knowing his mother fills out an application to Westbury Seminary in California.  After attempting to calm violence he is placed in jail  for assault of  a police officer.  Thru a turn of events he is forced to go to the seminary in order to reduce his sentence.  And by doing so and through God working in this man’s life BOTH he and the seminary are changed for the better!

As for my personal thoughts on this movie……it’s a good one BUT it challenges you.  I think I liked it better the second time around.  there is a lot to process and many characters.  it is an eyeopener that just because Seminary is attached to a school’s name it doesn’t mean it’s a solid one.  Also being in a Christian environment doesn’t mean that racism or for that matter sin isn’t still there.  Money can corrupt and hearts can be hardened to God. In an amazing set of events God reaches young Kelly and changes him from the inside out and in  not so easy ways.    In the end the transformation is simply amazing. Stands are made and we learn just before the credits roll what Richard Kelly does with the rest of his life!

On  a side note we have not yet let our children  (ages 6 1/2 and under watch this movie)   due to violence.

What’s in The Bible With Buck Denver

Phil Vischer

Do you know the name?  If you have had a  preschooler in the last20 years you should (Oh BOY  do I feel Old)  He is the creator of VEGGIE TALES!  For a long time i loved Veggie Tales But have you noticed that it has changed…and in my opinion NOT for the better!   I believe that this has to do with Phil Vischer no longer working on Veggie Tales  there has hardly been a  reference to God and there has been no Bible stories since Gideon!  Well except for the Christmas story “The little Drummer Boy”  Which talks about Jesus’ Birth BUT the little drummer boy is never mentioned in scripture!  So enough of my soap Box and Onto our family’s new favorite go to video series.
