October Home & Visiting Teaching

By -
Fall is here and with that we have created this month's Visiting Teaching Gift so that you and your sisters will be able to add a new decoration to your home.  We have designed a 5"x7" print with the quote "Charity: The Highest, Noblest, Strongest kind of Love."  It will fit perfectly in a frame and is designed with beautiful fall colors.  

 The message from the Ensign is entitled, "Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ:  Filled with Charity and Love."  We also loved a quote from President Thomas S. Monson... so we included the full message from the Ensign and high-lighted that quote for your sisters.  (see images)  Of course no Pioneer Party gift is complete without a treat - so a yummy milk chocolate Hershey bar is tucked in as well.  Enjoy the beautiful fall weather and this darling Visiting Teaching Gift!



For October Home Teaching: "Finishing With the Torch Still Lit" is the title of the First Presidency Message for October.  One of the quotes from President Uchtdorf says, "This race of discipleship is not a sprint; it's a marathon.  And it makes little difference how fast we go.  In fact, the only way we can lose the race is by finally giving in or giving up."  Pretty cool!  So we have created a little game for your families to play... the idea is to discuss how each of us can make {spiritual} goals and keep them.  


Each family member will choose a piece of candy (included in the gift).  Orange means you get to make a personal goal for yourself; yellow prompts you to talk about how to stay motivated to reach this goal; and brown you will discuss how you can help your family members to reach their goals!  We think this will be a great way to incorporate the message into a family, while having fun and having a treat at the same time!  Happy October to you!

We found the perfect money lei for graduation and thought we'd share how to make it:
Items needed:  2 spools of black ribbon (12 feet each), $100 (in dollar bills), and black paper.

Step 1:  Start folding each dollar bill like a fan, as shown below.

Step 2:  Cut the black paper the same size as a dollar bill. You will need 100 pieces cut. Fold them the same as each dollar bill.

Step 3:  You will need 2 dollar fans to make 1 circle. The same goes for the paper fans.

Step 4:  Take each spool of ribbon and unravel them.  Place one end of each spool together and form a loop. You will then sew the loop in place.  End result:  a loop with 2 long strands of ribbon coming down.

Step 5:  Now that you have a loop with 2 ends, you can get started tying on the money and paper fans. Keep in mind that there are 2 ends of ribbon, but you will use them to tie, so in the end, there will only be 1 strand.

Step 6:  Alternate tying the paper and money using both strands of ribbon, and soon you will have the completed…

Want a darling package to send to your missionary that is ALL READY to go?  We all have good intentions, but sometimes time slips away and those care packages or other crafts/gifts get put aside.  If you need to send something without all the fuss - let us help!



Each day's card is designed in black and white and starts like this...
"On the (1st) day of Christmas, the Savior gave to me..."
We wanted to emphasize all the many things that the Savior has given all of us.

Here is a brief summary of the candy bars included as well as the "gift" that the Savior has given us on that particular day.  Each card has either a scripture, a quote from a prophet, or lyrics to a song that correlates with the gift.



Day 1 - A "Symphony" of Christmas songs
Day 2 - A gospel that is worth way more than "100 Grand"
Day 3 - A "Sweet" family to enjoy this life with...
Day 4 - An opportunity to be a "Lifesaver" in other's lives...
Day 5 - An …

"Here She Comes...

Miss Utah... "  Every year there are beauty & scholarship pageants held all over the US, including Utah.  With the stages, the lights, the sound, the music, the make-up and all the other things that go into making one night magical, so much time and effort goes unrecognized.  But this year, the committee for Miss Utah came to US for help in saying thanks to all the individuals who put in many hours for that one night.  Here's what we came up with:




So we just put different thank you bags inside a cute brown box with a tag that says: "A box full of THANKS for you!"  How fun is that?!
