New Calling

Well my first assignment in my Relief Society calling was to make a poster we can update each month with a calendar for the hallway by the Primary and Young Women's room and to also to decorate the bulletin board in the RS room.

This is what I came up with. I found these clips I could use in the middle of my posters.

So basically I made and decorated a BIG clip board.

Stamp Class

At this month's stamp class we didn't even stamp once.

Kira found these great eggs for us to cover.

I think they turned out so cute.

We used some of Stampin -Up's paper.
I love these pinks and greens.

These two are my mom's creations.

She went will more of the purple look to match her Easter decor.

New niece!

Letley Strong

This is what I have been working on lately.

I made it for my new niece miss Letley Strong.

It was a lot fun to make.

I love the applique embroidered flowers.
Then I quilted the same flower on the opposite block.

This is the back. I love this fabric line.

Very Neat Experience

Last week I had a neat experience. I went to my boss's house to notarize some papers for him. While I was there he should me "his" book. I'm pretty sure it is his prized position. About three years ago Deseret Book sold some assets on there asset list. On that list was the first Book of Mormon off the printing press in 1830 that Martin Harris gave his brother Elmer Harris. Elmer was able to hide and keep the book safe during all the turmoil. The Harris family donated it to the church in the 1960's and some how it got on that asset list. As soon as my boss found out about it going up for sale he purchased the book. He told me he plans on donating it back to the church with the condition they never sell it again and it possibly gets in the wrong hands. Anyway he wanted to take my picture with it. It was a very humbling experience to hold that 180 year old book.

Helper Competition 2010

Cassie did great this competition. She got a good night sleep, didn't get as nervous and was more aggressive.

Her coaches and I have been giving her talks about being more aggressive.

"Just going for it" It doesn't matter if you fall and she did much better.

She got second place on the trampoline.
Fifth place on the floor and sixth place on the double mini.
Even though her places weren't real high she did GREAT! So much better then last month.

Valentine's Day

Riley was asked to the Sweet Hearts Dance.
Riley wanted a Valentine's tie, he choose this great pink one.

The stuffed animal for her was my idea.

He wasn't sure about it saying "girls think stuffed animals are lame"

I explained to him that he was wrong............girls love stuffed animals.

Natalia was the lucky girl.

I suspect Riley is a fun date. He seems to have fun.

Here is a picture of the cute little mini carton made using my new die cut.

I think they turned out so cute.

I made them for my nieces and nephews for Valentine's Day.

Not a lot of labor but I think they turned out cute.

Sad Day

We had our Young Women's New Beginnings recently.

The sad thing is a week or so before we had it they gave me the sad news they were releasing me.

The president had been in over three years so they released her. Even though I have been in only a year when they change the president they change the whole organization.

It really broke my heart.

We had to keep it a secret during New Beginnings because they hadn't called the new presidency.

I made these little clip boards with some calendar items on them for the year to give the girls.

I talked about the importance of attending the weekly activities and how they can be testimony building experiences.

Our theme was "YW like Butterflies"
I made these handouts for the girls and there parents talking about how the Personal Progress program can help the YW grow from Caterpillars into Beautiful Butterflies.

I will miss working with the Youth but is was a fun year.
