Freebie Scripture or Scripture Journal Insert- Book of Mormon Plates & Records

In studying 1 Nephi Chapter 19, I came across a couple different charts outlining the makeup of the Book of Mormon. They explain how the different records were gathered and combined to make one record that we use today. Some records were quoted, others were abridged (which if you are like me- you had to look that word up in the dictionary to learn that an abridgement is a shortened version of a larger work). I tried to print these charts out but the quality of the images were so low that they were hardly readable. So I took the two I liked, combined the parts that I liked and took out the stuff I thought was too much information for one little chart, and voila! I made this handy dandy chart that you can print out and insert into your scriptures or your scripture journals for your reference. I watermarked the image below for pinterest, however if you want a version without the watermark, you can download it here. Depending on your usage, some resizing may be necessary.

Now I don't claim to be a scripture scriptorian, and this chart is based off of how I understood the other charts. So if you see something that is wrong by all means let me know and I will fix it. To see the original charts, you can view them here and here. You are welcome :) Happy studying!

My Personal Study Page and a FREEBIE Coloring Page for Scripture Journals

1 Nephi Chapter 18 Layout

I have  a new template called "My Personal Study" and it is for your chapters scripture journals. Here is an example of it that I used in my own journal:

"My Personal Study Of" template has the following categories:

• Quick plot summary- You describe what is going on in the chapter
• Word research- these are definitions or quotes that explain what a word means
• People and Locations- anytime a person or place is mentioned in the chapter I list them in this area and see what they have taught me
• Topics/ Gospel principles that need to be explored- these are topics mentioned in the chapters such as forgiveness, prayer, recognizing the spirit, obedience, commandments, etc. I list what I learned about that topic.
• Additional Scriptures and/or footnotes I looked up

Where it asks for other journal's page reference, it wants you to list any other journal where that particular topic is mentioned. Each of my journals has a volume number. My Chapters is Volume 1 and my Topics is Volume 2. Then each page has a page number in the corner. So I can easily list where to find something with the marking (volume:page number). So under this category, all these topics start out with the number 2, because they can all be found in more length in my second volume journal which is my topics journal. Then the following numbers are page numbers. Ex: in the picture of "Enduring Well" the other journal reference is listed as 2:101-102. That tells me that if I want to read more about what I learned about the topic Enduring Well, I would need to go to pages 101-102 of my Volume 2 journal. Does that make sense?

You can purchase this template individually or as part of a set in the Chapters Kit. Both are available for immediate download in our store.

 

FREEBIE ALERT:

As part of my layout for 1 Nephi Chapter 18 I doodled a little picture representing the symbolism because I am a very visual learner and it helps it make more sense to me. 

After I finished the doodle I colored it in with my watercolor colored pencils. It was so much fun to me. I guess I just love to color. I figured since I made it for myself I might as well put it on here for anyone else that might want it.

You can download the doodled black and white page to color and use as a quick glue in insert for your journal or Book of Mormon for FREE here. Note* I learned all this symbolism from the book, The Book of Mormon Made Easier by David J. Ridges.

Enjoy!

Free Printable for Stickers of LDS Prophets, Apostles and More

I am HORRIBLE at remembering names with faces. As hard as I try to know all the apostles names when I see them at General Conference, a lot of times I get them mixed up. Let's admit it can be confusing. In my scripture journals, I have been quoting them alot, and there have been times that I wanted to know what that person looked like. Then I got an idea. Why not make stickers out of the pictures online of the apostles and prophets and then I can put their picture in my scripture journal when I quote them!?! Duh! Then I can see their face whenever I read their quote and over time hopefully it will help me remember them and feel a more personal connection with them. 

Amazingly it was harder than I thought to find the chart I was looking for with all of the current LDS First Presidency and Quorum of the 12 Apostles. But I eventually found them on the church website and I added some people that I have been quoting alot in my journals. People like Marion G. Romney, Hugh Nibley, and prophets and apostles that have since passed away like Gordan B. Hinkley, Spencer W. Kimball, Neal A. Maxwell, Bruce R. McConkie and more. I imagine I will have to continue to add people and a second sheet may come in the future. But for now I want to share with you sheet one. All you have to do is buy sticker paper at your local Walmart or craft store, print them out on your ink jet printer and cut them out. Its really super easy. This is the brand I use and the paper is acid free and lignin free so you don't have to worry! Download the free printable by clicking here.

Free Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Seasonal Cleaning Checklist

I love lists. What woman doesn't, right? There is something so satisfying about crossing something off that says, "Good job, keep up the great work". While trying to organize my home with a more routine cleaning schedule, I took Martha Stewarts daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal cleaning checklists and combined them into one excel spreadsheet. Then I added and adjusted some things to better fit my family's needs. After finishing it, I thought why not share it in case some one else wants to save some time? You can download it for free here. You can add a column for the "owner" of the job to help spread the work around if you want your kids to help out as well. The idea is you do all the chores with a 1 in the box on the day specified and you can color, "x", check, whatever feels the best, in the box when it is done. Its meant to be a two page printout. Also, I filled in all the seasonal ones but really they only need to be done every few months so you may want to adjust those too. Hope it helps you with your spring cleaning!

Muffin Printie

I loved Tamara's post on "you're getting muffin for Christmas" so I made a free printie for you! You could shrink this image down and put it on a tag, or Print it out on a paper lunch sack, and then put your muffin mix in, fold the top of the bag down, punch some holes, and put some raffia or ribbon through the holes and tie a bow.
