Enrichment 2006

I can't believe I have forgotten to write about last Saturday's Enrichment. It was really great. It was called "Traditions - A Holiday Welcome" Which was not even my idea. I don't' think anyone here yet knows of my love for traditions. I am on the committee. I was in charge of the advertising and doing one of the projects.

Here are the sign up sheets, which thanks to the ribbon outlet had some fun ribbon on them.

We made Christmas pillowcases. One lady made 18!
We made the "Hugs and Kisses" advent.

They did a holiday traditions book. Everyone brought copies of traditions and recipes and then put them in a three ring binder. I loved the cover they made for it.

We also did hand dipped candles. They got the candles from IKEA and then dipped them in different colors.

I was in charge of the Wooden Gingerbread houses. My father in law saved me on this one. He made up this concept of making a wooden gingerbread house that you ice and then wash off and use year after year. It is so brilliant. Jeff had one of these growing up and I have always wanted one. So his Dad made up a pattern and emailed it to me along with a sample house. Then one of the incredible guys in the ward cut 33 of these houses. They have drilled holes in them because you put lights in them so it is lit up. We just had to stain them because the guy who cut them put them together for us too. I am so amazed by peoples generosity sometimes.

I also made Mindy's granola and it turned out great and had many requests for the recipe. I used the honey wheat germ this time.
Having a calling like this has really helped me to meet a lot of people at church and I feel very grateful for it. But what is so funny is I had forgot to sign up for one thing, and I made the sign up sheets. So it gave me a good chance to just chat.
