Brown Packages, Book Covers, and Common Place Book

 For many years now, we've wrapped Christmas packages in brown paper.  They may or may not get decorated or paper maybe brown with dots or the like.  While wrapping this year, remembered using brown paper to cover my books in elementary school and it got me thinking of my Bible.  The cover is in tact, but has seen better days around the edges.  This morning, gave it a cover!  😊  

Have also been thinking of common place books, a place to write out quotes, phrases, and general thoughts.  This led to the bunny trail of writing scripture on my "new" cover.  May include quotes, etc.  For now, this is how my bible looks:

Since taking picture, added a bit of thin washi tape around the verse.  Let me know what you think.  Copy the idea if you like.

Happy October!!

 October sure has been all over the place, if you live on the east coast.  We have been fortunate to escape the worst of Hurricane Helene.  It’s been raining, overcast, and humid for 2 to 3 weeks, but that is it.

In the grand scheme of life, not anything to fuss about.

In life, the word “Joy” keeps popping up in many different settings.  Wouldn’t have guessed that getting my resume updated, by someone else, and returned would bring joy, but it has.  

Off to download new resume and start applying for next job!!  Hope you have a joyful day.
