I did mention that I was about to start a new job, and that I said "goodbye" to my fellow co-workers. Today though, I went in to begin- "my last two weeks", and my boss told me she'd rather I stay. (Let's just say, she matched the other business' offer). So, I've got some more negotiations to work out. While doing that, here's my latest work: Did I mention I LOVE going to work? If your wondering which occupation to start...I'd say floral design!

Let's Reach Out More...
"The path to success is to take massive, determined action."
Anthony Robbins
Robyn, a midwife and some of the LDS Young Women of the Glen Huon Ward, Hobart Australia Stake, Tasmania, Australia. The girls made patchwork baby quilts the size of nappies (diapers) and donated them to the Hobart Private Hospital, a maternity hospital in Hobart, to give to mothers of stillborn babies. 2 of our Laurels had moved on into RS but came along to the hospital. 1-11-08 While making the quilts, we realized that all the YW who were helping with the quilts had come from a home where at least one sibling had been lost through a miscarriage or stillbirth. The girls learned some valuable skills and were able to reach out in a small way to help someone grieving. Submitted by Greta S. Watson, YW President.

Salt Dough Ornaments
Thank you to the Meanest Mom for giving me a great teacher gift idea this week. She made some personalized salt-dough ornaments for her kid's classes-and they were so cute, that I decided to give it try! Jaden loves the rolling-pin the best...
My little preschooler loved rolling out the dough and making curly hair kids that looked like him. We had so much fun painting them this morning too...that we're going to make some for our family-♥
Here's the recipe if you'd like to make "cookie-people" too. Jaden is wondering when we're going to eat them-(poor kid) Guess we need some cookie dough along side this activity for eating! These do look good enough to eat, but we need to add a string now.

Gifts for Teachers

I just found a great idea for gift-giving for my kid's teachers! This cute blog shows how to decorate paper CD holders with stamps and placing a homemade cookie inside! They posted this at Valentines, but looks good for Christmas too-♥ I saw another cute idea on FamilyFun.com...making a candy necklace out of saranwrap and candy-all wrapped
like a hawaiian lei. One reader mentioned using tulle to wrap it in-safer for kids to work with :)
