Paper Shoes for YW in Excellence

Our "Young Women In Excellence"
is coming up, November 2nd! Since I'm new at this and struggling for ideas .... I refer to the Internet ....... A LOT!!

I found the paper shoes (several in fact) on line and also a ward that had used them for
" Young Women in Excellence" so I incorporated it into ours. We have been discussing the Temple all year. We had our "Temple Trek" back in May and we walked the Green Belt to the church. (5 miles) We made several stops along the way and at each stop the leaders would tell the girls about their trek to the temple and how it occurred in their life. We then transported the girls to the temple and walked the grounds and took pictures of the girls at the temple. We then had an evening where the girls made frames for their picture and entitled it
"PICTURE ME AT THE TEMPLE"
Anyway, the whole night will tie into shoes and where they take you ......
HENCE, the paper SHOES!!

I made 40 shoes and used my "Cricut" to cut out flowers and made a little arrangement for the toe!
I then filled little bags with "Hershey Kisses" and tied curling ribbon on them and inserted them into the shoe! We will use them as a party favor for each girl. I will show the entire evening on my Personal Progress blog in November.

I think they turned out pretty cute! Hope the girls like them!
Where will your shoes take YOU??
Something to think about!!

NEW ADDITIONS .... NOW I'M DONE ! ...except for organizing !!

There was a 50% off sale on all the Jet Max and Recollection cubicles starting this past Sunday.
I was going to go on my lunch break to get the hanging files but I was there on Saturday to check out how many they had and they only had two.
Tony went into Boise early Monday morning to check on a job and so he stopped at" Michaels" and bought me the 4 I needed!
BLESS HIS HEART!!

When I got home Monday evening, we put them together ......together!! lolNow I have a JET MAX File Cabinet ...... I started transferring all my files from the big ole black metal file cabinet I used before. I'm getting really organized and taking my time filing the new one so I will have everything in order and will know where to go to look for it!

I also got a metal magnet board that holds tins for brads etc ..... I also had some magnetic photo frames that stick nicely ! It's so cool!

Now my room is a mess again until I get everything put back in it's rightful place!
BUT I WILL BE ORGANIZED!!

It was clean on Saturday when we had our Neighborhood Block Party and one of the neighbors asked what Tony had been making in the backyard? (They saw him outside cutting all the shelves and desk) I told them that he had built me a craft room and they asked to see it. (I was so glad it was clean) I showed them and the women were in awe!! One of them said we needed to put it on the DIY program (DO IT YOURSELF) She said it was magnificent!!

AND IT IS!!
THANKS TO MY AWESOME HUSBAND!!
HUGS AND KISSES HONEY!!

I GOT MY OTHER EMBELLISHMENT CENTER!

I was so excited this Labor Day because I got 50% off coupons in the newspaper as well as on line so I was going to go to Michaels and get the JET MAX file cabinets I've been wanting ....

Wouldn't ya know it, they were 40% off already so I couldn't use the 50% off coupon!! DANG!!
I asked if the Boise store had any embellishments centers and if so would they honor my rain check! They did and said they would so I drove to Boise and got it! Tony installed it for me Monday evening.I love it and have the jars filled already and have my room pretty much organized the way I want it. I just need the file cabinets now and I'll be done! It is sure great to have a big center with plenty of room to work! I LOVE IT!!
