January Visiting Teaching Message

By 10 Comments

This month’s Visiting Teaching Message is on the History and Heritage of the Relief Society. I went with a little winter theme, since it has been beyond frigid around here lately. I like how President Eyring says that, “heritage is passed heart to heart.”

2011 Mutual Theme Subway Art

By 12 Comments

I wanted something special to give our young women at our Christmas lesson. Each year we give them something that reflects the next year’s mutual theme. The 2011 mutual theme is the 13th Article of Faith so I thought it would be really cool to go with the latest craze and turn the key words in to subway art.

It was so easy to create the mutual theme subway art using wordle. I just popped in my words, listing twice the words I wanted larger. Then I played with layouts and color schemes. I stuck with black and white to keep the emphasis on the words instead of the colors. This will also make it easy to print at home without plowing through my colored ink keeping the cost minimal.

I am going to print our subway art on cardstock and put it in black dollar store frames. I may find a two sided one and put the pictures we took of our girls at the temple in the other side.

Total cost will be just over a dollar each! Yay!

2010 Stamped Necklaces

2009 Believe Blocks

I have always stayed up late working on them with my last YW adviser Amanda who was released a few months ago. She had her adorable baby girl on the same day I had my little guy. Miss you girl! Wanna come put subway art in frames for old times sake? 😉

Here is a slideshow I made for the 2008 lesson as my Personal Progress Faith Value Project. This was the lesson where we gave out the believe blocks. The music is “You Were Always There” from the Jenny Phillips Parables cd. I LOVE this song!

December Visiting Teaching Message

By 1 Comment

The December visiting teaching message is on Our Responsibility to Participate in Temple and Family History Work. I took some quotes from Julie B. Beck to use on the December Visiting Teaching handout.

I like how it talks about the blessings and comfort we will receive from doing this work. Lucky for me, my sister Angela is a professional genealogist so she works hard on our lines and I get to help with the temple work. We do family gatherings with all my siblings and parents about once a year (my pro-gen sis lives in MD, we wish we could get together more) where we all do sealings for our ancestors.

Feel free to print the December visiting teaching handout and use as you like.

I used the Shabby Princess Plentiful kit to make the December Visiting Teaching handout.

November Visiting Teaching Message: The Divine Gift of Gratitude

By 13 Comments

November’s visiting teaching message is to come from the October 2010 LDS General Conference talks. There were so many that I loved, but I thought President Thomas S. Monson’s talk on “The Divine Gift of Gratitude” was perfect for November.

I made this month’s visiting teaching handout a bit larger than usual because I wanted to use a lot of quotes but still have them readable. They are 5×7 handouts so you can fit two on a page.

Feel free to print and use as you like!

I used Shabby Princess Plentiful and WM (squared) Designs Turkey & Stuffing digital scrapbooking kits. The font is Candy Buzz BTN from Kevin & Amanda.

As a side note, I am in a contest to win a kitchen full of brand new Kitchenaid appliances. I would love it if you would vote for me! Please rescue my appliances. The voting is open until November 17th and you can vote daily. The great part is for every time you vote you get entered for a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer!
