{Paper} Witch's Shoe

I found this idea from here http://www.skiptomylou.org/2008/10/28/paper-witch-shoes/ but here are the ones I made and gave to the ladies I visit teach.

{YW Beehive} Birthday Surprise

In my last ward when a young women turned 12 yrs old we would go and decorate their bedroom while they were gone at school. We decorated with your typical birthday decorations balloons and such, we would also include these cute little bees.

The girls loved it!

Valentine's Day Cards

Cards

{YW Handout} Temple Marriage

This is by far my favorite handout that I made and the girls loved it!

" Temple Marriage is the key Piece to Eternal Family Bliss. I filled the box with Bliss Chocolates.

I made a little book with quotes of why Temple Marriage is so important.

{YW Handout} Prepare for the Temple

This book is filled with wonderful quotes I found for preparing to go to the Temple

{YW Handout} Be Obedient

{YW Handout} "Be thou an Example of the Believers"

{YW Handout} Joy

{Sew} Cute!

My daughter is a girlie girl, I love her! She loves to play dress up and cook in her little play kitchen. Last Christmas I made her an apron and matching bag. I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to sewing and I made up the apron pattern as I went , so don't ask me but I love how everything turned out!

I found this tutorial for the felt flower here http://www.vanessachristenson.com/2010/05/guest-blogger-tutorial-allison-of-cluck.html

Thankful Turkey

We do this every year, I cut out new feathers to write things that we are thankful for throughout the month of November. This year I think I will laminate everything so we can use dry erase maker so we can reuse them.

{YW} Cling to Your Values

I made this a couple years ago when I was a Beehive Advisor. I have adapted since then, but you get the idea! Instead of the X's I did a straight line up and down on the ribbon. The brown is a fabric quilted place mat that I found at TJMAX.

Sister's Retreat

About 4 years ago I did a Sister's Retreat with my sister-n-laws, it was Amazing! It was very simple, but was a wonderful bonding experience, especially for me who is an outsider to a family of 7 sisters!

We started the evening off with a wonderful candle lit dinner

Then we each shared a talent, one of them made each of us a CD with the #1 songs from the year we were born and the year we graduated. It was fun to dance and sing together! Another sister did a personality test... man every family should that! I felt like I understood them so much better!!

For my {talent}- Prior I asked everyone to give me one word that described each sister. I made a book for each of them and left an area for each sister to write a little note to them.
