Sweetheart Dinner Mar 11

Tonight we had a lovely dinner celebrating the importance of marriage and families. There was a slideshow with wedding pictures from couples in the ward, a delicious dinner, and pictures taken as couples. Here are a few pictures from the night (couples pictures will be in a different post)

Women's Shelter Service Project

Earlier today we had a service project combined with the Burlington Ward's Relief Society. We made drawstring backpacks for the children that stay in the women's shelter. We filled them with small items that had been donated to bring them a little bit of fun and peace in what would otherwise be a dark time for them.

We cut fabric, sewed, and stuffed bags, working for four hours. But the time flew by as we talked, laughed, and got to know new friends and visited with old ones.

Love the red sewing machine...

Cutting the fabrics and matching up cute coordinating patterns. There were some really fun prints donated for these bags.

Lots of visiting as we worked.
Deb Graham's machine threw a temper tantrum. Eventually it was given a time out. We were just glad it was her fingernail and not her finger!
Stuffing bags with the donated items



At the end of the day we had 85 bags, surpassing our goal of 50 bags. It's amazing how much can be done by a group of sisters with a mission! And look how cute they are!

And some of us were rewarded with a good snuggle :)

Stake Relief Society Conference 2010

Anybody who was at the conference yesterday was surely blessed with the spirit there. We had 4 lovely speakers (including Gail) and a beautiful musical number. The theme of the conference was "After all that you can do." There was a nice lunch and mingle time as well as a special "iron rod" activity. The scenes from the vision of the tree of life, while wandering through the building in the dark as a group clinging to a rope. At the end was a beautifully decorated tree with "fruit" and twinkle lights. Many thanks to those who worked to put this program together for us!

The centerpieces on the table were a lovely reminder of the early spring that we are enjoying.


Look at Caroline's lovely smile (hehe...she thought I was just taking a picture of the flowers :)

Cannery Night

Head's up! Our ward's next cannery night is March 2nd at 7:00 p.m.
Tim and I are the new cannery coordinators ;) This Sunday, we'll have a table set up in the foyer by the bishop's office and it'll have order forms, volunteer sign-up sheets, a binder of recipes to use with your food storage, etc!
Please help us spread the word about the cannery--it's available to everyone, including non-members :)

Thanks!
