I just HAVE to say how much I LOVE my Church callings!  I am SO blessed to be a part of an AMAZING ward family, and specifically our Relief Society group of ladies is OUT of this world AWESOME!  Yes, that was a lot of caps...but I can't bring myself to change it! :) 
While I wouldn't say no to working with in the Primary or in Nursery in our ward *cringe*, I was THRILLED when I was asked to serve on the Relief Society Activities Commitee a couple years ago.   I love staying home with my kids, I wouldn't have it any other way, that being said, having my church work with GROWN UPS, and AWESOME WOMEN on top of that...well, it is JUST what I need in my life right now!  My 'social' life revolves around facebook and Relief Society.  I joke that that is sad...but I changed my mind just now!  I love my life, I love my friends.  I am so grateful to be a part of a Church that NO MATTER where you go in the 'verse you are part of a Ward Family.  Last year I was asked to start teaching once a month on Sunday in Relief Society, I was FREAKED out, but also really excited to spend even more time with my wonderful friends!  Luckily they also wanted me to keep my calling on the Activities Commitee, and I was so happy!  I mean I only teach once a month, and we only have activities at MOST once a month...so not really as 'time consuming' as it seems. 

Our next activity is the annual Relief Society Birthday Party, celebrating the foundation of Relief Society.  The hard thing about planning this particular activity is that you can really only do a 'Birthday' theme so many times before it is BOOOORRRRRIIIINNNNGGGGG! ;)  Well Diana, (our RS 2nd Counselor in charge of Activities Commitee, plus my AWESOME Zumba buddy and all around WONDERFUL friend! ;)  got some great ideas from another RS's Bday party she went to, and we are tweaking it to make it our own!   We are going with a Hollywood type theme, only the title is SISTERHOOD.  We are going to try to get an actual Red Carpet for the ladies to 'walk' when they arrive, the colors are a glam and sophisticated Black, Red and Silver- plus we are putting up the SISTERHOOD individual letters/sign on the wall, in the same font as the Hollywood sign...so cool!  We are also doing a 'Before they were Stars/Sisters' game with baby pics, should be fun.  Since the next couple of weeks we won't meet as a ward I made the posters earlier than usual to get the word out!  I love making the posters advertising our RS Activities, having an excuse to use my scrapbooking supplies is ALWAYS nice!   This poster might be my fave so far! :)

I know, I rock.

The funny thing was it was SO EASY!

Gotta love that!

Sometimes the most simple thing looks best!

I really wanted to add that pop of red, without

taking away from the readability of the sign.

But just a red stripe on the bottom didn't look

like a red carpet...just a stupid floating red stripe.

So I put my crafty hat on, pulled out my oval cutter,

shiny silver paper, silver brads and some red 'rope'

aka embroidery floss.

Yeah...cuz I'm awesome like that. ;)
