​WINNER: SANDY JONES
Father’s Day is right around the corner!!
I want to share 3 important pictures of my father and I.

1. When I was little and I learned that he would become the most important man in my life. I remember pretending to be asleep so he would carry me to bed and standing on his feet while we danced and he’d always give me all his pocket change :)

2. Right after he got out of surgery to remove cancer from his prostate.
   (He is 2 years cancer-free! Thank you Jesus!)

3. My father proudly wearing his Veteran’s hat. I am very proud that my father served 20 faithful years to our country. In fact, he missed my birth by one day (he was flying home from Vietnam).

My dad is a HUGE life-long San Francisco 49er fan, and for every birthday, Christmas and Father’s Day he got some sort of trinket. Whether it was pajamas, autographed jersey or some other tchotchke to remind him of his beloved 9ers.
One day, I stood in his Man Cave and stared in amazement that he had wall-to-wall-to-ceiling- to floor (YES! 49er carpet!!) memorabilia.  This man did NOT need nor have space for not one more Joe Montana Booblehead!  

That’s when I decided to get him a Bible. Not just any Bible, one that I knew he’d pick up.

Here’s the  He Reads Truth Bible;
The CSB He Reads Truth Bible includes robust, well-crafted theological extras to draw the reader back to Scripture, increase biblical literacy, and foster a growing affection for God and His Word. Color coded by genre, each book of the Bible features detailed book introductions, a reading plan with supplemental passages for deeper understanding, and full-color maps, charts, and timelines by the He Reads Truth team. In addition, the CSB He Reads Truth Bible features 66 key verses, artfully lettered to aid in Scripture memorization. This Bible invites every man to count himself as part of the He Reads Truth community of “Men in the Word of God every day.”
Features include: 66 hand-lettered key verses, 17 full-color timelines, 21 maps, 122 charts (including infographics and lists), and 4 illustrations, reading plans for every book of the Bible, one-year Bible reading plan, detailed book introductions, key verse list, smyth-sewn binding, two colored ribbon markers, and wide margins for journaling and note taking.
The CSB He Reads Truth Bible features the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). The CSB stays as literal as possible to the Bible’s original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture’s life-transforming message and to share it with others.

Reading Plans and Outlines: Each book of the Bible also includes a reading plan to guide the reader on portions to focus on for each day.

Maps and Layout: Throughout the CSB He Reads Truth Bible, are custom maps.
These uniquely designed maps place events in geographical context to help us understand the places and historical context in which the events and writers lived.

Lounging around Facebook yesterday, a conversation in The Mambi Happy Planner group caught my eye... A Happy Bible. Ladies were taking out the pages of their Bibles and putting them into Happy Planner discs. The conversation was about the onion thin paper and which Bible was best to do this with (basically which has the largest margin, so when you hole punch it, you're not punching out God's Word :)

Someone mentions a Bible that you can download so you can make your own book!
This is right up my alley! I love nothing more than to fiddle with digital files and images. (nerd alert ...nerd alert)

So the gal messages me the link (because posting links in the group is a federal offense, you will be excommunicated and then you'll just suffer from FOMO)

The link goes to this adorable blog, {plantolovethislife.com}
There she has all the deets on downloading The Bible. She lists 3 versions, but I stick with King James. 

It's a PDF file that downloads very quickly. It's over 770 pages, so even printing front to back, you're going to go through alot of paper. I decided to print at 90%, so I could have room for journaling, decorating and doodling.

After all my pages were printed, I quickly realized that's it's going to be best if I separate the books into two blinders.

I had tab dividers on hand ...cause nerd alert...nerd alert! I printed out the names of all the books on the little stickers.

Now i needed covers! My go to is {THE RESET GIRL} she has the yummiest "magazine covers" for download. I didn't find anything that would suit what I needed so I designed my own in photoshop using royalty free images.

I'm in love this whole idea and it's perfect for those who are nervous about drawing in their Bibles.

If you make one of our own, tag me so I can see it  :)

You all blessed me so much with the stories you left in the comments during the Saint Patrick's Day Giveaway, I wanted to do another one!
This Easter, I want to share with you my favorite tradition.

 As a child we lived in Spain. I come from a Hispanic family and when we lived there we shared our tradition of Cascarones! (An egg shell filled with confetti) You smash these on eachother's head! What fun we had as kids doing this. Although it hurt when someone inevitably "mistakenly" hit you over the head with a hard-boiled egg!

In Mexico, they are popular during the time of Carnaval. But really, people may use them during any festive occasion. According to historians, cascarones originated in China. It is rumored that Marco Polo first brought them to Italy, and on to Spain, and they eventually made their way to the Americas.Tradition has it though, that cascarones are supposed to bring good luck to the person the egg hits. The best part of the cascarones is its religious meaning "because they are made from eggs, they symbolize rebirth and Jesus' resurrection."

Now a days, cascarones are relatively easy fond around Easter time. But when I was a kid, my mom saved them for months leading up to Easter. She would gently break just the top off each egg as to keep most of the shell in tact. My dad would bring the hole- punched dots home from the office in bags. (pre- commercial confetti). Then my brother and I would dye the egg shells, stuff them with our homemade confetti then with a concoction of homemade paste and crate paper, we would seal each egg carefully.

My parents always threw the biggest neighborhood parties,
so during church service the Easter bunny would hide the cascarones all around the yard.
When we got home, all the neighborhood kids would run around finding the cascarones and smashing them on unexpecting adults and eachother!
I think of the mess we made. But mom always seemed to have the yard spotless in the next couple of days. The older I get, the more i appreciate my mother's love for us.

In the spirit of Easter, I want to know how you celebrate with your families or if you have a special tradition that’s all your own! Did you wear a new dress to church?  Does the Easter bunny footprints leading to your baskets? Do you hide your baskets and make the kids look for them? Do you have an egg toss? Make a certain recipe, or just enjoy the time with loved ones?

Comment below how you celebrate Easter and I will pick a winner on April 29, 2019.
*There is no answer better than another, it's a random drawing*
After making contact with the winner I will post their name here, Facebook and Instagram. This contest is open to US residents only.
