I am busy at work with our upcoming stake enrichment/ women’s conference. We are doing a day of service projects and classes. The only thing we need centerpieces for are the food tables. Here are the 2 I have completed so far, I got this idea HERE…so cute * I used the bigger peat pots, so I didn’t stack them. Just used a little paint and some ribbon:) To view more please visit my blog!

Sweetheart Sister Enrichment
We had a super Sweet Enrichment last night….It included 5 of our sweetest sisters being spotlighted (tables displaying pictures, items they’d made, etc), their V.T. spotlighted them telling stories and interesting things about them. They came to the front and we crowned them, gave them a corsage, a box of chocolates and a homemade craft bag (I made those so I will post a pic soon). All the sisters were so cute!!! We also had a lovely homemade cheesecake dessert (last picture), a slide show of hands and service, and a musical presentation…Tabitha sang “His Hands.” The evening was beautiful with red and white tablecloths and roses in the centerpiece…

Project Thrive
Our Stake is part of a humanitary project that involvs making sanitary napkins for young girls in the orphanages in Kenya. I got some of the fabric and put 36 of them together. It really didn’t take very long and it feels good to be a part of such a good cause. For more info visit….clayforearth or goodsforgirls To view more please visit my blog!

YW Decorative Jars (vases)
Last week I helped decorate some jars for the Young Women in Excellence night. I printed these cute value cover pages created by melanie at sugardoodle.net, shrunk them, printed them on color paper, and taped them to mason jars (2 per jar). Add some ribbon at the top and you have a decorative jar/vase to display. These ones were used as centerpieces on the tables with flowers in them! So cute! To view more please visit my blog!

Bag Embellishment!
For our ward enrichment service project we got 25 fred meyer reusable grocery bags donated. So I decided to embellish them with cute puppy faces. I just cut 3 ovals out of felt for each face and a little white for the patch. I used a hot glue gun to attach them to the bag (less is better, it doesn’t show through as bad with a thin layer of glue). We then filled the bags with blankets, hygiene kits, stuffed animals, crayon roll ups (see below), coloring books, and story books. It was a great enrichment! We donated the bags to our local foster care center. 12 of the bags!…

Enrichment Poster!
I am an enrichment leader at church and I love to make posters for up and coming events. Here is one I finished the other day, it turned out very cute. I just cut some cordinating papers, glued them down, added some letters and printed information with color backing, a couple buttons, that is ribbon down the middle, oh and I used a corner cutter for the corners of the paper. The size was half of a poster board. I used a distressing ink on the edges too. To view more please visit my blog!

Bean Bag Toss!
These little bean bags are simple to make just cut out some squares and sew right-sides together, leave about an inch or more open slot to turn right-side out and fill with beans, rice, or craft fill beads. Then hand sew opening closed. For the board I just traced and cut circles out on one side of a large cardboard box. Paint if desired.I was in charge of sharing time last Sunday for the Primary so I put this together for the activity. The kids loved it! To view more please visit my blog!
