arise and shine forth!

the 2012 theme for our LDS young women :)
This is a super cute, easy little craft tutorial you can use for gifts... or whatever!
I made these to use as our birthday gifts for all our young women this year -
they seem to really like them... so read on if you'd like to learn how to make them!
 First I used a 4x4 stretched canvas...
used Tulip dimensional slick paint to "write" the word SHINE!...
and glued a small wooden sun to the canvas (you could easily freehand a sun also)
*note: I tried using puffy paint also, and the slick version was much easier
 After doing the same thing to multiple canvases,
I chose several pastel colors and painted over each canvas.
(and yes, we eat a lot of garbanzo and black beans, thank you very much)
 I used two coats of paint on each canvas and let dry fully...
Then I painted each canvas with a coat of glossy Mod Podge.
*Note: glossy acrylic spray instead of Mod Podge would also work
"Arise and Shine Forth!"
Our Young Women's Birthday Basket :)
You girls do indeed SHINE! And we love you :)

girls on ice

Our church's new Young Women's Organization leaders - that's right, we're gonna rock the house :D
Vanessa, Rebecca, Robin, Me, Kerrie, and Megan - I love and adore these awesome gals!!!
We had our first activity as their new leaders a few nights ago - it was so much FUN! 
The girls went ICE BLOCKING down a grassy hill (sliding down the hill on big blocks of ice) - how great is that!
Many thanks to Brenda, our one other leader who ran off before she could be in our photo!
How cute are these girls! Some of them I've known all their lives, some of them I'm just getting to know.
The Young Women's Program is for girls ages 12 to 18. It's a great program and we have a LOT of girls!
future Young Woman in training - how adorable is she :)


the wipe outs were actually the best part - LOL :D

as you can see, everyone had their own method of sliding down on the ice blocks


Hey! INFILTRATOR!!! 
See, the Mouse is no dummy. He could go play frisbee at church with a bunch of stinky guys, or he could jump into his mom's car and end up rolling down grassy hills with a whole bunch of cute girls. Kind of a no-brainer. 
like I said, everyone had their ways of sliding down
AND WIPING OUT TOO! LOL! 
Big group getting ready to go down the hill.....
Get ready, get set, GO!
And they're OFF!
Oh dear....... FAIL :/
Good times, good times :)
I was just sad to see the Mouse so miserable ;)
