heart of the matter

for my craft goal i decided to make a valentine's heart wreath. I found the idea and bought the stuff right away. the best part about the wreath is how easy it is ... second best is how cheap it was. i found the idea and instructions here.

Let's Get Purse-onal

a new ward ... a new calling ... and an old task. Now I'm making enrichment posters for my own calling. In February we're having an enrichment titled "Let's Get Purse-onal" ... i'm excited for the idea. here's the poster:

So the plan is:

Welcome & Spiritual Thought/Lesson on becoming closer acquainted with your Savior.

Play the Purse Game (sisters bring their purses, leader calls out random items that might be found in a purse - and the first sister to show the item out of their purse gets a point. At the end the person with the highest amount of points will win the big prize!)

We asked each sister to bring a baby picture in advance - then we'll guess who the sister is at the enrichment.

Play the candy bar "get to know you" game - Everyone chooses one of 4 candy bars (Snickers, kitkat, almond joy, or milky way). Depending on which candy bar is chosen, each sister shares:

Snickers - share an embarassing moment or funny story about yourself

KitKat - "gimme a break" - share something they like to do in their spare time

Almond Joy - share something that makes them happy

MilkyWay - share a dream or goal they have

I'm actually a little sorry that i'll be missing this one ... though i bet i won't be sorry when i'm sitting on the cruise ship enjoying a cold drink and the hot sun!
