A Book in my Bag.

I've decided recently, in attempt to read more, I should keep a book in my handbag at all times because it's surprising how many times in a day/week that you find yourself in those situations where you have nothing to do (i.e. waiting for a bus or something). So rather than checking my facebook every 2 minutes for potential notifications, I'm going to try and get some reading done and in the process feed my brain something with a little more substance than instead of..."so and so likes your status". 

Anyways, so this is the literature of choice for my handbag at present. 

It's a really good book. 

I got it last week from an opshop that is quite possibly the closest thing to Heaven that I've discovered on Earth. I kid you not. It's FULL of books on every faith-related topic you can think of from intense as theology texts to Christian biographies to books on worship, leadership, gifts of the Holy Spirit, spiritual warfare..you name it, it's there. 

It's so awesome. 

And really cheap too! I think the most expensive book I got was like, $4 or something and that was quite a big textbook that I got for my Theology III paper coming up next year. 

Anyways. Just thought I would share that with you. 

I'll let you know what my next handbag book is once I get done reading this one. :)

Microwave Rainbow Smores.

There they were..tiny little multicoloured marshmallows sitting all cute and tiny and marshmallowy on the bench..

Nearby on the same bench were the simple, yet delicious round-wine biscuits sitting all simple and delicious and round-winey ...

and then the thought hits me..

I SHOULD MAKE SMORES!

Okay so it wasn't as glorious and dramatic as I make it sound, but there was a lot of enthusiasm and passion in this glorious smore-making process. But that could have something to do with the coffee I had made earlier combined with my low tolerance to caffeine.  Hmm.

Anywho. I made a smore. And then the second time 'round I added chocolate!

Bubbly chocolate to be precise! Yum yum yum! Here is my second attempt all loaded up and ready to be nuked in the microwave..

This is a disastrous photo but I just like it 'cause you can see the little marshmallows going all puffy and exploding haha. Beautiful.

And then this is what it looks like when you take it out of the microwave..kinda messy..

BUT then you plop the top on and oh my! What a treat! Party in the mouth fo' shoa!

Ooey gooey deliciousity! 

(I might have just used a non-word, but that's okay..)

Mmm..

So exciting that I got chocolate on my glasses..woops..

So there you have it. Microwave Rainbow Smores. Try it! 

Bye!

Box of badges (or buttons or whatever you want to call them)

I've been collecting badges for like, 12 years or so, but these days my collection tends to just sit in a box under my bed. So, you can imagine the creative sparks that were going off in my brain when I found this picture on Pinterest the other day!

SUCH  cool idea! I'm not sure if I like the heart shape, but I think the badges stuck onto a canvas is completely BRILLIANT. I'm still not sure whether I will actually do this, because most of my badges have quite a lot of sentimental value attached to them and it would seem kinda wrong to permanently glue them to a canvas but..we'll see. I do want to do something with them because it feels equally wrong to have them just sitting under my bed. 

Anyways, so today I decided to get my box of badges and see what came about. First I lay them on a canvas to see what it would look like, and I quite like it. Even in a heart shape.

What do you think? 

Not bad, huh? I'm not 100% convinced yet. And also, if I were to go ahead and glue them on, I probably wouldn't use those exact ones haha. There's some real weird ones on there! Like the old man with writing from some mysterious language..kinda weird..haha

I found these ones that I forgot I had too..

I love this one! Hahaha. I want to wear it everyday. 

I love lame puns

Bit of a collage. 

So there you have it. My box of badges.

 I used to be a chronic collector when I was little. Everything from tic tac boxes, stickers, winnie the pooh stuff (anything and everything) to those little mondo toys that you bought for like $1.20 in a box with a lollipop...you name it, I collected it.

 It's so funny when you look back and think about all the time and money that got used on collections and little treasures that you felt like you would love forever. Makes me kinda wonder what I might be wasting my time + money on these days..haha. I suppose that's why Jesus advised us to, "...store up for yourselves treasures in heaven" (Mat. 6:20). Hmm. Nice way to end on a spiritual note, eh! Haha.

Be blessed, beautiful people.
