If you leave it to dry naturally, it will pucker. Then, if needed, I iron the pages on the lowest setting. But it's usually not needed. I think the issue of materialism is something we all struggle with. There is so much poverty in the world, and every time I feel the urge to buy something I ask myself "Do I really need it?". Most of the time the answer is "no". It's hard because I look around my house and think "That needs to be updated", but then I think of people living in cardboard houses and feel ridiculous. Then later I will go on Instagram or FB and see someone remodeling a perfectly good kitchen and feel that it's an unnecessary expense but at the same time feel like my house is dated and I should do the same thing. Back and forth, back and forth. I do believe we as Christians should at first tithe to the church and then help take the care of the poor, and that we should spend our money wisely and frugally, but at the same time somehow allow ourselves to occasionally enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Where has that...Have never heard of sticker paper. Where has that been all my life!! As always, I am so impressed with the beautiful work you do in your Bible journaling. Love Jeremiah 10:10. The verse and the illustration. Such a pretty combination of the gold and purple. Fit for a king. You mention using craft paint to paint the pages. I don't know how you keep them from wrinkling an puckering. <br />Paul grew up in a very conservative church. In so many ways he feels guilty about everything. A little less now than when we first met. But he feels bad if he buys anything, or wants anything. His father called Paul the 'rich son' and criticized Paul for buying a new car - new to him - when he retired from the Army. Got all over me when I bought them a $5 frame for a family photograph. Refused to use new towels I bought them instead of their thread bare hand-me-down towels. It has been very hard for Paul. He is torn between a poverty mind-set from his upbringing and wanting to work and have a nice, comfortable home.onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496967140182523960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-14628624525726793202021-03-03T07:02:22.648-06:002021-03-03T07:02:22.648-06:00Thank you!
