My Ministry Venture on Teachers Pay Teachers

I've spent a lot of time in prayer about life and what God is calling me to this year. I think He has some awesome things in store! He keeps confirming again and again what He is leading me to in my personal life and in ministry. I know I'm not in ministry as a paid gig right now, but what He has given me in volunteering far outweighs anything. He has given me countless gifts this year in my friends and those I serve in ministry.

This coming month, I'll be launching a YDisciple group for incoming freshmen girls. We're currently setting dates to meet, and I am so excited for the journey that lies ahead!  I'll share more this summer as time goes on, but God has a plan for this. If He can get us through the scheduling, He can get us through anything!

I've also been working on some new projects this year, and today I want to share one of them with you.

I decided to start sharing some of my ministry resources via Teachers Pay Teachers, a site where teachers/librarians/staff and the like can share their resources for free, or for a small charge.  I was checking it out when it hit me that I had been wanting to share some of mine, so I started looking up what there was to offer for Catholic schools, religious education, and VBS.  Not a ton of offerings, compared to how many listings there are for binder printables LOL!  So I dove in and made an account and listed 9-10 items the first night.  I'm now up to 12, and will be adding more as I wade through all of my files.

Here's my store! Everything is FREE!

My graphics aren't cutting edge and most are editable, but it's FREE.

I am also a lover of Life Teen.  So you'll find some items that are compatible with their ministry platform, but I will not put their name/logo on it, as I don't want to incur any fines for copyright infringement.

Finally, if you'd like customized items, I can do that too. These items are just what I had saved from awhile ago and I have lots more up my sleeve.  Just email me at randihom@gmail.com! 

May Book Displays

This month I got my first chance to do displays at the library where I work!

Amy, our librarian, and I chose to do a Western literature display, as well as a theme called "Summer Dreamin'". I was maybe a bit too excited to get started lol

Check out the Western display here
- We are using an array of western themed literature: short stories, novels, romance, adventure, etc.

To get the cute bandana banner we used go here and print on cardstock. Finish with twine and tape. Easy! We made a "Wanted" sign after I took this picture using this file from ScrapNTeach's Teachers Pay Teacher's account, and changed it to feature Shakespurr, our library mascot.

Check out the Summer Dreamin' display here
- We are using a broad range of books in both fiction and non-fiction to get people inspired and excited for summer: gardening, crafting, DIY, beach reads, landscaping, outdoor decor, grilling, etc. We chose bright and colorful books to catch people's eye.

You can get the printable citrus slices here, just print on cardstock, cut, and tape them up!
Check out more ideas on our Pinterest board Library Programs and even more here

We had fun doing the display and hope you enjoyed the inspiration!

If you're looking for inspiration on what to read or new music to check out, you should jump over to my friend Rachael's blog Taylor&Kensington. She had great YouTube videos of reviews and more!

Starting new projects: Teachers Pay Teachers

It's good to be back and I'm so excited to be starting a new year!  Welcome 2015!
I've spent a lot of time in prayer about life and what God is calling me to this year.  I think He has some awesome things in store!  I'll share more on that later this month.

I've been working on some new projects lately too, and today I want to share one of them with you.
