Davincified Paint-By-Number Kits -- A Relaxing Friday Review

 

Disclosure: I was sent this kit in order to provide an honest review. All opinions are my own.

During 2020 I rediscovered my love of paint-by-number. I hadn't done them since I was a child. I reviewed another in 2021 and started more on my own. I stopped on one that wanted me to mix colors on my own and haven't started it again. On Fridays I like to share a relaxing activity to help everyone find creativity, screen-free time and a bit of themselves. Recently I was contacted by Davincified to see if I would consider doing a paint-by-number Relaxing Friday. I was excited to try it again and had a hard time choosing from the many options they offer. I finally decided on Sunset Serenity Pink Waves. I received the standard sized rolled canvas with 24 colors. They have options for a standard size and large size. Each painting can come as rolled or stretched canvas. Plus, the artist can choose how many paint colors there will be: 24, 36, and 48. There is even an option to get a hand-painted 24 colored painting.

The Heavenly Juggler -- Picture Book Review

 


Disclosure: I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

With teaching and a busy life, I noticed I was not as focused on my spiritual growth as I have been in the past. Every time I go to our church for the past few years I have an allergy attack in the sanctuary. Like an embarrassing cannot stop coughing and sneezing attack, so I haven't been going. Add in getting up early all week and trying to get things done on the weekends and I lost most of my motivation. With Hazel out of Christian school, I also haven't been looking at the Christian books as much. That is going to change. Today we are sharing a fun Christian picture book called The Heavenly Juggler by Demi. It is recommended for ages 4 to 8.
