Super Woman, Super Saturday!

Super Women Unite!

We all know we've got a superhero inside of us and we're using our Super Saturday to celebrate it! Below you'll find samples of what we will be making at the best Saturday ever! ****Check back for updates to prices and options.****

There's a dual purpose to each of these gifts. We want them to be great for you OR to give as a gift (with upcoming holidays in mind). We also hope in thinking of giving to others that you will invite a friend to join us for this activity! It's just gonna be lots of fun!

Since we will be there all day, please bring a dish to share for lunch. :-) Also, there will be a few teenagers on hand to assist with child care for those whose husbands are deployed or gone on training. 

We will also have special guest Paige Evans there with a craft to do as well. So stay tuned. We will keep you posted as information is compiled. :-)

Sign-up sheets can be found HERE

And now for the fun stuff!


Wish/Charm Bracelets

Price for string:

$1 per bracelet (for 3 string braided bracelet)
$.20 per string otherwise

Charms:

$.80 for heart charm This bracelet takes 3 strings per side.

$.30 for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows charm. I made this bracelet with only 2 strings per side.

$.20 for Double Infinity Charm

$.10 for Arrow Charm. I made this bracelet with 2 strings. 

So the idea behind the arrows is the theme for Mutual in 2016 is “Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life” (2 Nephi 31:20).

If you hop on Pinterest a lot of people are using arrows as part of the idea. Pressing forward, steadfast, enduring, etc. (See this etsy shop and this one too for cute printables if using for a gift)

Even if you don't have a child in YW, this is still a cool charm.

Time to complete: 10 mins (or less, per each bracelet)



You can also bring whatever charm, or circular item you have around your house!


Sharpie Mugs

Price: Depends
Bring your own mug: $.50 to use the specialized oil-based Sharpie paint pens
If you need a white mug: $1.50
If you buy one at the event: Who knows, because it could be a surprise as to what we have.

Time to complete: 20 mins PLUS at home baking time.



Bring your own mug, vase, plate, etc. We will provide the right markers, and other fun stuff. Check our our local thrift stores, Freecycle, etc. If you can't find anything, we will *hopefully* have some that day for purchase.

These would be a cute gift item alone, or with some hot chocolate, or herbal tea. Or those chocolate on a stick things you see here in Germany. 


Simple Nativity
Price: $3
Time to complete: 35 mins




Superhero Peg People

Cost: $1.75 for a set of 4
Time to complete: Depends on how long you want to spend! You can make them as simple or as difficult as you want. They aren't meant to be perfect. That's why these are fun!

The inspiration

My friend made these. And my boy AND the 2 girls here LOVED them.

 
Indoor Door Wreath
Cost: $ 4.00
Time to complete: 30 mins

Totally customizable. I did coral and teal because that's what I'm digging right now. Lol.

Book Love Frame
Cost: $3
Time to complete: 30 mins

This is a fun one! Bring an old book (I'll have a couple there). We will have a heart and a circle punch there. You pick the words to describe the person you're giving it to. The background can be scrapbook paper so bring that if you have something in mind. Otherwise, you can just use the back of the frame (which I did).

Who's Who Part Two

Last night was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who came. There are so many fun personalities in our ward and we're thankful to have gotten a glimpse of the awesomeness that is in our ward.

We also can't wait to meet or get to know those of you who weren't there. There's something that will help with this! We filled out a survey last night! Would those of you who weren't there, be willing to fill it out for us? We have attached it HERE.

Also, there was a sign up sheet we kind of missed sending around. But we want to know what sort of focus groups you are interested in. Please let us know via e-mail or right here what you want to see! We had what seemed like a lot of interest in some DIY stuff.... Sounds like fun!

We gave these out at the end want you to know about this stuff too. It can also be found over there. --------> 

The only thing I'm sad about is that we didn't get more pictures. Did anyone take any? I'm pretty sure we were too busy having fun to even think about it. Thanks again to everyone that came. It really was a hoot!

March Sister Spotlight

Elizabeth Leonard 

What is something that your family likes to do to spend time together?
Movie night!  Pop some corn, grab the blow-up bed, eat pizza and watch movies in the living room.

What is one of your favorite hobbies?
I like to craft and read.  I read slowly and don't get to craft often, but it's a good way to relax me.

What is one of your favorite things about living in Germany?
The opportunities!  For my husband at his job and for our family seeing the world!  We've knocked a few bucket list items off the list since being here so we've been lucky!  It also helped me work out of my comfort cooking zones when I can't just call and order pizza.

My favorite flavor cookie is...
Pink cookies from Utah.  The Grandma cookies!  My favorites and I miss them!

Please share a favorite scripture story.
Noah is my favorite.  His story is amazing!  To trust so fully in our Heavenly Father is awesome!

Please share a goal on your life's to-do list.
Probably the best one I have is to have an all out Disney vacation with my husband.  No kids.  It sounds nerdy, but Disney is my happy place!

Anna Lewis

 

What is something that your family likes to do to spend time together?

We really like to go on hikes together.  Now that all of us can actually walk it is fun.

What is one of your favorite hobbies?

I love to read.  I read between two and five books a week.  It's why I have so few friends.

What is one of your favorite things about living in Germany?

I love that everything is always an adventure.  Even grocery shopping.  And something as easy as asking for directions becomes such a triumph when you finish it.

My favorite flavor cookie is...

Chocolate chip cookies.  Natasha Hansen's are apparently the best.  Prove it Natasha.  Prove it.

Please share a favorite scripture story.

Just lately I love the story of the Israelites crossing the river Jordan.  God said he'd part the water, like he did the Red Sea, but he said before he id so they had to step into the river first.  They literally had to get their feet we first before they saw the miracle.  I feel this is true for most of my interaction with the gospel.  I have to take that first step of faith before I see miracles.

Please share a goal on your life's to-do list.

I plan on learning Latin because dead languages are cool.
