Mother's Day Project...

We stayed in UT this year for Mother's Day.

It was a beautiful day and I got spoiled by these boys...

I'm so grateful to be a Mother and am especially grateful for the Mother's in my life.
I look up to my own mother and I'm grateful for the woman that she is.

My mom is driving down today with my grandma {yahoo!}
{So I had an extra week to get my gift together}

My mom's hobby is Barrel Racing and she loves anything to do with horses.
So when I saw this idea I knew it would be perfect :)

FIRST: Find a few of these...

And some of these...

SECOND: Ask your husband nicely to weld them together

THIRD: Grab some spray paint and get to work

Finished Product...

Perfect display in the front of any cowgirl's tack shed :)

I hope she likes em'

SUPER SATURDAY

SIMPLIFIED....

I was the Enrichment Leader in our last ward and it was such a fun calling. I worked with some amazing women who were talented, motivated and super fun!!

It seems like most wards and stakes are no longer doing Super Saturdays, but as women we still have a NEED to create... so as a committee we came up with an idea for an activity to allow us the opportunity to both SERVE and CREATE in one activity.

The 2 months prior to the activity we gathered donations from the ward to help fill Humanitarian Kits to be donated to the church. We had enough supplies to complete 25 Hygiene Kits and 25 School kits.

So as the sisters arrived at the activity, they helped put kits together...

We also put together personal heaters
Then we talked about emergency plans...

Then it was time to CREATE...
Our main craft was Family Home Evening magnet boards.
This is where our idea came from.

These are the board kits all ready to go!

We also made interchangeable watch bands...
Gordon's niece helped me and we came up with a few different options.

Also {$5}
Watch Faces were sold separately...

We sold about 200 kits!!

A couple of the girls in the committee are experienced with Photoshop and one of them made a template for Family Proclomations.
So we had a table set-up with computers for people to create their own proclamation.
{FREE}

We had such a great turnout!!
I am FOREVER grateful to all of the sisters on the committee and everyone that helped to make this activity a success.
