Food Class Update

Lets see, 24 women signed up and 11 ended up coming. That was OK by me! Even 5 or 6 would have been perfect! Next month it will be a "Cooking with Children" class. I think I will handpick 3 children in the ward to participate.

If you want recipes Cami, I will email them to you. I just need your email address.

FOOD


Tomorrow I am teaching a cooking class in my ward. "Dinner for 2, or Dining Alone." It is geared for cooking in smaller quantities. Lots of women signed up - we shall see how many show up!

Our ward has lots of young married couples and single women. Their concerns are time, budget and healthy foods. I will post on whether it was a successful evening!

SINGING IS SO FUN TO DO!



This past Sunday we had our last ward conference. We visited our Spanish Ward. They have the smallest Primary in the stake. I had the privilege of speaking to the children. It was such a treat to share with them a message and my testimony, but more importantly, it was a testimony to me to feel their love and excitement for Primary! These children were beautiful. Every one of the boys were either in a suit and tie or a white shirt and tie! And the girls were dressed in their Sunday best.

But the best part of our visit was singing time! They learn all the songs in Spanish. Their chorister knows the songs and teaches with such great enthusiasm - it was contagious! And the children's voices - oh how sweet and joyful. Even though their numbers are small, their voices were anything but small! If we could only capture that moment and share it with others - I guarantee you would smile and feel unspeakable joy!

TONGUE-TIED THANKS



It takes me forever sometimes to craft a proper thank you to friends and family. One of my daughters is sooooo good about expressing and sending thanks.

If I was to recieve this as a gift, I think I just might be able to find the right words!

I HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE AWAY!



TIMES UP!!!!

THE CHOSEN ONES ARE....ADRIENNE, LACEY, SHERRIE, LINDSEY AND KATHY A.

I AM GIVING MYSELF TILL THE END OF MAY TO MAKE GOOD ON MY PROMISE!

OK! So this is how this works...the first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me for you.
My choice.
Made especially for you.
Of course there are some restrictions and limitations:
~
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done sometime this year.
4. You have no clue what it will be... it may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something. I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure. ;-)
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? The catch is that you must repost this on your own blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog.

I WANT THIS PATTERN



This purse/tote pattern is from Anna Maria Horner. It is not on the market yet, which saddens me because I need a new bag to carry my books in. Doesn't it look cute? I also like her fabric line.
