Cute Activity Days Project

I just got called to teach the 8-9 year olds and do Activity days too!!

This has been such a fun calling.

I absolutly love the girls and I get to teach Kaitlyn

which is such a great blessing.

Yesterday we had activity days

and I wanted to come up with an idea that will help motivate the girls

to get their Achievment Award before they turn twelve.

So I went to www.sugardoodle.net and found this fabulous idea;

I am so excited about.

The three daisies represent the three areas of accomplishments

(Developing Talents, Serving Others, Living the Gospel)

They are required to pass off eight goal in each area.

So everytime they pass off a goal they color in a petal with a fabric pen.

The 13 stones represent the 13 Articles of Faith they need to memorize.

And the five hearts represent the goal for being prepared for Young Womens

Each one they pass off we iron on a rhinstone.

We encourage them to put thier Faith in God book,

Scriptures, and a jounal inside thier bag and get it out every night before

bed and take about 15-20 min. writing in thier journal,

reading thier scriptures, or working on thier goals.

If you have a daughter that is of activity day age.
I totally recommend making this bag for them.
My girls are so excited to get working on thier goals,
so the next time we meet they can
add to thier bag.

It also helps them develop great habits.

To make them,
You will need:

1 canvas tote bag
1 transfer paper
iron on rhinestones
a fabric pen
Iron
piece of cardboard.

To make:

1. go to www.sugardoodle.net and get the template
I did have to download some fonts
to my computer, they are on the
website too.
(If you have trouble downloading,
just google how to download fonts.)

2. Print the template onto transfer paper.
(make sure you print the mirror image,
there was a t-shirt transfer print
option on my computer or
select mirror image print option)

3. Heat iron on highest setting.

4. Put a piece of cardboard inside the bag.

5. Center the transfer on the bag and
iron for about 7-8 minutes.

6. peel the transfer paper off and Wa La!!

7. Decorate the bag as the girls pass off thier goals.

Dawson Joseph Lindstrom

My sweet nephew returned to our Heavenly Father Tuesday night.

He will be missed tremendously.

Dawson was a fighter from the beginning.

He had over 40 surgeries in his short 4 1/2 years of life.

Dawson was blessed with fantastic parents who loved him

and helped him experiance a wonderful life.

My little Angel, Dawson,
I will miss your loves and snuggles so much.

It was so easy to feel the Spirit when you were near.

You helped my testimony of Jesus Christ grow so much.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

I am so grateful to know of Heavenly Father's plan.

I look forward to the day I see you again.

I love you, D.
