So, today was a day filled with a lot of running around and not getting a lot accomplished, however I did get to make these cards. It was fun being involved in the YW activity today. Marty Chandler who is always doing fun things planned a bunch of fun activities for the primary children and the YW came and worked with the primary kids while their parents got to go do their Chrismas shopping. So, Marty called and asked me to come help with the activities which I was happy to do for her since she is always doing for others. She is so much fun and so creative. So, when I got there they were pretty much covered in most of their stations. So, I ended up helping out in the room where they were making these cute Christmas cards. Well, I ended up having more fun than I had planned. About 4 of us women started making these cards and we couldnt stop. So, you take some cardstock and fold it in half and then of course glue a cute piece of colorful christmas paper to the front and then you take a cookie cutter and trace the shape onto the back of some sand paper and cut it out. Then you glue that on to the colorful surface and then put glue on the front of the sand paper and sprinkle cinnimom on to it and it smells so yummy. So, we decided to add a few jewels to our cards to finish them off. Marty always has such cute ideas. The also made snow flakes out of coffee filters, beaded necklaces, decorated brown paper bags, decorated cupcakes and made bejeweled stars out of popsicle sticks and jewels. The kids had so much fun and we had fun helping them and watching them create their beautiful christmas decorations. It was also fun seeing all my YW again. They are all so cute and fun to talk to. We have a great ward.
