I am so excited. I have been trying to tell my husband that a bookshelf, by the kitchen table would be so much better then the two drawers on wheel things that we had. He didn't see what I was saying. Tonight our neighbour called and asked if we would like a bookshelf. I was so excited. Harvey went over to look at it and the next thing I knew they were coming in the door carrying our new shelf!!!!!

I got right to it and started to reorganize our homeschooling things!!!!
The very top shelf is holding our R&S workbooks and PathWay Readers and TM, to be used at a later date. The white binder holds the year schedule. I also have all test, and blacklines in the two black binders. Extra copies of the one inch writing paper and extra workbooks and tabs. The two pen holders will come out everyday, the striped one holds Faith's items and the black mine. The second shelf holds what we use everyday. Her shapes for her Critical Thinking Workbook and our math flash cards and that blue sticky stuff to stick them one the wall when we need to. Her box of colouring things. Then all the workbooks, TM, readers and our Bible and Devotion. Also our yearly journal to track our school days, our R&S grade tracker, and a binder with our 6 week plan of lesson to do.

The third shelf holds our Math games,cubes for her Critical Thinking Workbook and our Crazy Shorts, Longs and More games. A few extra workbooks and her abacus. The bottom shelf holds her fun games. Moving these games here gave me ONE whole much needed extra shelf, in our family bookcase.
They also Blessed us with painting paper and this painting organizer.

In the end I managed to organize things a bit better. Our bookshelf box that was one the table is now gone and we can we and use the table for our memory work much better now. I have taken the 100 poster out from under the plastic and put it on the wall. I also have added to the wall some scriptures that I feel are important to homeschooling.
Proverbs 22:6 NKJV
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Psalm 127:3-5 NKiJV
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
I know I don't have a quiver full but I am blessed just the same.

I would also like to take a moment and say thank you to everyone. I am surprised that my blog went over 1000. I never thought this would happen. A big thanks to all who visit. I hope that I have touch so of your lives in a deep way. I give God all the Glory.
1 Chronicles 16:34 (NKJV)
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

As for my header at the top of my page, yes I did paint it. It is actually an 11x14. I am trying to be able to sell some of my work. Hopefully to make a little extra money. Have a great day.
