    I've looked through so many videos of interior designers only putting decorations/nicknacks on bookshelves. I was so happy to find someone who actually has regular books and puts them on bookshelves! I love your ideas on how to "hide" some of the less beautiful books with either brown paper or in a small box. I'm definitely going to use this idea! You have a new subscriber here!

    Oh you have my favorite version of Pilgrims Progress. (Dangerous Journey) I bought about a dozen of those and gave them out to families that I know. It's nice to meet you. Homeschool mom here and was also homeschoolwd myself. God bless you and your family! ❤

      How wonderful to continue the legacy of homeschooling. When I started in the 80s, I had never met anyone who homeschooled. Now my grandchildren are being homeschooled which is awesome!

      @teresaelling-peacefulhome I'm so glad to hear that your grandchildren are also being homeschooled! The public schools are a mess! I'm so thankful that we still have the freedom to homeschool. In Wisconsin, they are pretty relaxed about it, but I know it varies from state to state. My husband and I have 3 and 2 still at home. My daughter is 17, and my son is 11. We do a lot of abeka and bju. We've tried others but considering I grew up on that, I'm comfortable with it. Sorry to ramble on. It does warm my heart to hear of other homeschooling families. It's a bit of a passion of mine, you might say. 😉 Proverbs 22:6

      Homeschooling is a passion for me as well, and I continually thank God for leading us to what I consider the best form of discipleship!

      @teresaelling-peacefulhome We do! God blessed us with a foreclosure for 69 cents on the dollar back in 2011. Needed a TON of fixing and it's still a work in progress. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. My son will enjoy hearing about the army being given Bibles. He loves all things army / patriotic related. 😁 I'm definitely going to show him that Bible in your video.

      Also I have realized that part of the issue is that I need to gather "like with like" so I can sort and organize. House projects and other activities have meant things have gotten moved around many times and led to a lot of "jumble" - and adding things from my mom's has pushed things over the limit. So the idea of moving all of the things together by category is really helpful, too.

      It is quite a job to go through family keepsakes! It can be very emotional and overwhelming. I am sure you will be able to sort through and display things that are important to you while passing on some treasures for others. I do have another video that might be helpful for you:

    I like this video, but have you looked into the Norse gods like Odin, Thor, Frey, Freya and so on? I think that it is better to read of one's own forebears' gods instead of someone else's!
