This darling Birthday board is very fun and easy to make. Plan at least an hour or more. We will stain it with Tuscan colors (Brownish) and allow to dry. YOu may stain it darker at home if you prefer. You may bring your own paint if you have a color you were hoping for. We are keeping it fairly neutral so it will match anything. After staining, you will add vinyl stickers and tac on the ribbon. Then you will modge podge circles with matching scrapbook paper, glue a clip to the back and clip your circles on the ribbon for each month. Each person will get 60 circles. We can tell you where to get more or we will have extra at the activity if you like. Melissa Sloan will be there to guide you through the process.

Make a fun Christmas calendar that helps us put the Savior first in our minds during the season. Scriptures and activities on the back are included for each day. For example: When you read a scripture about fish and the savior, it suggests you have fish for dinner or provide a goldfish snack to help children remember stories about Jesus. This project will consist of painting the frame and allowing it to dry, cutting out pages and little square flaps. It will be a 1/2 project plus drying time.


These tiles are the easiest and least expensive project available. So cute. They can be hung, set on a stand, or used as pot holders. Liz Millward will have a book full of quotes and pictures to offer. if you let us know ahead of time, we can set aside the one or ones you like. These will consist of cutting out your quote and modge podging it on. Only wooden hangers will have to be painted and dried. This project will take 5 minutes plus drying time.

$7 for set of three Candy Holders & $5 for each Pumpkin.

These cute candy holders are SUPER easy. Juliet Roxburgh will spray paint them black or white for you before super Saturday. You will need to only need to glue the mason jars to their stands and hot glue the ribbon around the bottom of the jar. Now it's ready to take home. Fill with candy, potpouri, shells or whatever filler fits the month of the year. This is a five minute project.

Pumpkins may look sewing intensive, but no sewing machine machine is required. That part of it will be done ahead of time for you. Just a beginner hand stitch my 8 year old did with 30 second instruction. Super easy project. Big bang for your buck. Smaller pumpkins in the store are going for $14 right now. Pick you fabric, sew the end, stuff, pull, add button and yarn. BAM! it's done. Juliet was intimidated by this project and made her first pumpkin in 10 minutes. She will be there to guide you through it step by step.

Music in Our Homes

Sisters,

The music class last night by Michelle Carey was wonderful. Thank you Michelle for sharing yourself and your talent with us. We learned to lead music and talked about different ways music can be used in our lives. We also talked about how to help our kids pick good music and bring it into our homes. I have included her scanned handout below. We also enjoyed a surprise performance from the musical "Wicked." Michelle and her daughter Kennedy sang in perfect harmony. They were so fun to watch. This is a play with a great message if you havn't seen it.

I have also attached the list of music that many of you sent me by e-mail. If you would still like to submit some favorite songs, please feel free to e-mail meadowspringsrs@gmail.com

I will add your songs and send one more list out if we get enough response.

It's fun to appreciate what sisters from every generation love. We had a lot of current and modern day song selections submitted , but I would love to add some older classics, church music, Broadway and classical as well. Thank you to all those who came out and joined us. We had great attendance.
