PICTURES ARE HERE!

I finally got my pictures onto a disk so that I could put them on my blog. I guess I will put some with the previous posts, but I will also make a slide show.

My Stake Activity Day activity is finally over! It turned out very well. We have a Pennies By The Inch kick off every year (last 4 years), and I am the one over it, so every year I have that stress. This year we called it "Flower Power" and had flowers everywhere. The girls arrived and were able to make a flower pen. They wrapped floral tape around a pen to attach a flower. I am sure you have seen those. Anyway, we then fed them dinner--Hoagies, chips, water, and a cookie. It wasn't fancy, or huge, but it was yummy. The cookies were the Lofthouse kind with the pink frosting and flower sprinkles. After dinner we had a 5-minute presentation about Primary Children's hospital, then split into three different classes that we rotated. One class was about gratitude and writing thank you notes. We called it "Growing with Gratitude." It was done by my amazing friend, Tonya. She writes wonderful thank you notes to people all the time. Sometimes you don't even know that you have done something, and then a note comes in the mail. Her notes make me feel so good about myself.

The other class was called "Blooming with Beauty" by my fabulous hair dresser, JoAnn. I love this woman! We have been through a lot together. She has so much energy and enthusiasm and is so valiant in any calling she has. She puts most of us to shame.

I wish I could have seen there classes, but my other friend, Lisa was going to teach my cooking class, "Taste-Buds" and had to go in for some emergency surgery, so I ended up teaching her class. She would never had dumped it on me if she could have helped it. I hope she can get better and feel well. She is also a dynamic person. The class would have been so cute if she could have done it, but I took what she had and we had fun. The girls all seemed to have a great time.

There you have it. I don't write what I am up too. I am lazy or something, or maybe I think it will bore you all. I don't have any pictures of the even, but I should have taken them. The decoration were adorable, the girls were darling, and our kitchen help was invaluable. Thanks to anyone involved who may be reading this! Woohoo! It is over!!!! I have been stressing about this for months.
