Cricut

YW leaders in our ward asked for some help with making decorations for their upcoming dessert auction.  Their theme for the auction is Star Wars (held on May 4th!)  and my Cricut went to town cutting out Star Wars lettering and silhouettes.

Learned how to achieve the scrolling effect, which was fun and easy, then 
used an online poster generator to make it big!  This poster making program
is cool, because in the settings you can input how many sheets of 
paper you want your poster to be, either horizontally or vertically.  
This poster is five sheets across, but I could have chosen 25 across if I'd wanted! My rolling tape applicator comes in super handy attaching the sheets to each other; a hand-me-down from Wendy Cox! 

I will be making my chocolate pie and will attach a Darth Vader balloon to it then will add lettering to the pie that uses a variation of a quote by Darth,
"Your lack of bidding disturbs me".
Photo forthcoming. 

Also cut out a bunch of character silhouettes so they could be used as
lantern table decorations-fun!

 

Interfaith Evening of Music

As they did last year, the Stake Primary Choir participated in an Interfaith Evening of Music.  It was an interesting event with the different faiths sharing a bit about their beliefs and expressing them through musical performances.

The children did a good job singing and it felt good to
hear the doctrine of Jesus Christ contained in their songs.

Treats afterwards!

Parents were a big support!

Nice seeing Candace there with Elinor!

Children were a bit nervous, but ready to go!

Didn't get a good pic of Pres. Beesley, but...

...was lucky to get a good one of him at our rehearsal!

All & all, a good night!

Glad to welcome Kimo home! He is fortunate to be doing

a second internship, so he's home from now until Fall semester.

These were leftover from Kimo's missionary homecoming--
might as well use them again!

 

Misc. Photos

Will and James both attained the rank of Eagle Scout!

My phone got updated and can now copy parts of
pictures that can then be added to a new background.

a light rail back when a trolley serviced Ocean Beach.
