Girls Craft Day

On the weekend of May 14 while the boys went on the father/sons campout we had a girl party.  My totally awesome and talented Aunt Kim came down and we did crafts the whole weekend.  It was so much fun and I can't possible thank her enough for doing that for me.  Thanks to everyone who came too.  I had such a good time chatting and eating with everyone.  Thanks to Tanya and Sandee and Lorissa for helping me with with all my stuff since I signed up for way too many things.  I never would have finished.  I made chore charts for the whole family that include magnetic gems with pictures for the kids, a place I can stick their picture under their name and dry erase on it since it is plexiglass and another magnetic area so stick birthday invites etc. It also has hooks for a reward system.  I loved the St. George temple picture and the USA blocks go with the rest of my Americana decorations, the smaller blocks that say "Thanks"  all have several letters one on each side so I can spell out all sorts of sayings and the the colorful wood puzzle has more than one way it can be put back together and is already one of my kids favorites. They all fight over whose turn it is to play with it.  My Aunt Kim was awesome to have around, she not only helped me tons by pretty much doing my chore charts but she also took Lila.  I was surprised how much Lila liked her too. She did great with her better than she does with her own Grandmas and Grandpas.  She is such a stinker about anyone but mom or dad holding her and she didn't mind Kim one bit.  I was on a crafting roll too so in addition to these crafts I also finished a FHE chart that we did in relief society over a year ago and mine has just been sitting around waiting for me to do it.  It is hard to tell in the picture but the flowers on the FHE chart each have a different color gem in the middle so each person gets their own color to know whose is whose.  And I made a billion flower hair clips for Lila and some of my niece's.  Earlier in the week I had made Lila some braclets too so she is pretty much good to go.  She will be able to get all dolled up for any occassion.  Some of my favorites are in the picture below.
