Faith in God

I wanted to post a couple recent things we made in Faith in God.  We made this super cute birthday countdown craft. The girls hang it up two weeks before a birthday and then get to flip the little date card at the top.  I made these for Girl's Camp a couple years ago and thought the younger girls would love it - they did and they were so crafty!

 We talked about going into the Young Women's program at church and about the Personal Progress program with it's different values.  Then the girls made these cute value bracelets - helping hold the embroidery floss for each other - they are so sweet and helpful with each other. I love these girls and will miss being their leader!

Faith in God Activities

 We've had a busy fall in Faith in God. We made fleece scarves and learned to cut  & sew on flowers and buttons. They turned out so cute & we had a cold front come through at the right time!

I love our group of girls - they are so fun and creative and wonderful!!

 The girls learned about budgeting and all the expenses parents have to pay :) They learned how to track their savings & spending and made super cute jars for both.

 Halloween isn't complete without pumpkin decorating!

We had our annual Christmas party - the girls decorated "gingerbread" houses and were so cute and creative - as usual!

Paperbag Scrapbooks

This past week at Faith in God we made paper bag scrapbooks. They turned out really cute. This was for the requirement of "learning and living the gospel". The girls decorated all the pages with cute and colorful scrapbook papers and embellishments. They will fill their scrapbook with family pictures and memorabilia at home to document their own family histories. 

Journals

 This past Activity Days was really fun and turned out so cute! We were learning how to "Live the Gospel" and talked about why and how to journal in our lives. The girls decorated composition notebooks (the ugly black and white speckled ones) with papers, stickers, and flowers. I made them a cute little glittery pen with a fun squishable pom pom on top :)

 I printed each girl's name on clear sticker paper so they could place it however they liked on the from "created by" tag

Inside the front cover we put a pocket with index cards that have journaling prompts to help the girls be more creative with their writing

Inside the back cover, is a note, "Why should we keep a Journal?". It has quotes and stories from Prophets and other leaders. I love that Pres. Kimball advises "the angels may quote from it for eternity".

 These two cuties made coordinating journals - so cute!! I love this calling in church - best age and so much fun!

F.I.G. Spa Day

  I'm a Faith in God (Activity Days) leader in our church. This is a program for the 8-11 year old girls. We have two activities each month for them to "pass off" different goals in areas like living the gospel, service, etc.

This past week we had a really cute activity. We had a "Spa Day - New Year~New You". I made the girls a little reminder invite with an emery board attached.

I made up goody bags for the girls with an eye mask, gloves (put on after lotion), emery board, and massager in a cute polka dot bag. I found all these things on serious clearance around town (Michael's Craft mostly)!

The girls learned how to give themselves a manicure correctly. Here they are relaxing in warm water with bath salts and listening to spa music playing - so cute!

Then the girls washed each other's feet and learned about how Christ did that to show the example of loving and serving each other. They got to use an electric foot massager/bath and had lotion massaged into their feet!

Super fun and cute girls!!
