SUPER DUPER SATURDAY!!!

The Sisters who attended Super Saturday are still basking in the fumes of sisterhood, creativity, and wood stain!

Despite the lingering craft hangover, everyone who was there had a wonderful time painting, sanding, wrapping gifts, eating lunch, and sharing stories while we worked! THANK YOU to everyone who participated, brought presents, and worked so hard!

If you still want to contribute to our sub-for-santa family, bring donations to Sarah d'Evegnee or Lori Wasden!

Vanna. . . er. . . Hilary Jensen shows off her project.

Dayna Parkinson happily uses the electric sander (yes. . . our ears are still ringing from that constant sound, but our hearts are too! AWWWwwww. . . )

Emily Rowe applies a coat of paint to one of her projects.

Lori Wasden dishes out her sweetness (oh, and dessert too). THANKS to everyone who brought food and THANKS to Lori for organizing such a delicious feast!

THIS IS THE BEST PICTURE OF THE DAY! It captures the concentration and the joy of working on a gift! (Thanks, Marion! I love it!)

Lindsey Dewey and Stephanie Fay stain their wood together. Friends and crafting companions!

Maija-Liisa sands away with a glimmer of a smile.

Caryn and Zoe Esplin work on some projects together!

Sandra Fluckiger found her second wind (and third, and fourth) and completed several projects for her family!

Shelly Rigby helps Ashlynn and Allison on their crafts. (We LOVED having some daughters there!)
Maria's impressive assembly line! (Thirty percent done! Only seventy more to go!)

Lori Rawlings laughs with her daughter McKenzie as they talk and paint.


THANKS FOR A SUPER DUPER DAY!!!!!

Smile, you're on candid camera :)

The Relief Society held a party.
The sisters by tens came-
Those 20, 50 and 80,
and sisters of every name.
Sister Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Sister Weather led the dancing,
Sister Wind the band.

Please bring a set of sheets or a sleeping bag. Also, bring a checkbook or cash if you think you'd like to make some bracelets or watches. The cost is per bead, so you can make them as cheap or as expensive as you'd like.
