popular way to do visiting teaching interviews now is a 'drive-by'. so the sisters drop in at the home of one sister and all the RS presidency are there who will hop in your car and conduct the interview and afterward away you drive ;)  Fast and efficient.
Here's a poster I designed - info can be added in lower left corner and size can be specified, also can be used as a 4x6 invite:

VT Message June 2010

I designed a VT handout for June -

Renewing Covenants through the Sacrament:

The quote from Julie B. Beck is awesome and I'm glad I got to be reminded of this entire message! Most of her message is swirled around in a loop, I just took my favorite part and made it the biggest. The swirl says 'it is not possible to make real change all by ourselves, we must have the help of our Savior to get back on track; partaking of the sacrament each week shows our faith in His power to change us by confessing our sins and promising to forsake them.'

Tag is a freebie:

I'm going to use the handout and attach this tag with a loaf of homemade bread (reminder of the sacrament bread).

Thanks so much for your comments =)

Hanging Wooden Spool Decoration

The Visiting Teaching message in February is the Divine Roles of Women and I really wanted to create something crafty and cute with some wooden spools:

I designed a message to 'tie' into using wooden spools:

It says 'Women wind their attributes of charity, love, compassion & kindness around others'.

Here is what the whole thing looks like:

I added 4 spools to represent the 4 different attributes.

Light Bulb

I haven't done my Visiting Teaching this month, so I read the message and came up with this craft idea:

It's a glass ornament ball turned upside down and glued in 2 tea lights to resemble a light bulb! The message is Jesus is our light - we find HOPE in Christ through the Atonement, Resurrection and Eternal Life.

I added tiny sticks (hay) behind the paper to hold the picture in place.  I thought yellow paper would help the 'light bulb' look.  It was pretty tough to get a good photo - really reflective lighting because of the ornament - I hope it's not hard to see what it is in real life - LoL  I will drop these off to Kendal & Jodi tomorrow - yup, last day of the month this time!

Caramel Apples

I made caramel apples yesterday for my Activity Day girls and Visiting Teaching route:

No unwrapping caramels and melting them here - although it probably is faster - I made the caramel from scratch and even took a recipe and added ingredients, took away some and altered the measurements!

Used 2 caramel coats since it was a thin syrup:

I melted white almond bark and coated that over the caramel, then rolled it in homemade granola:

Wrapped them up and gave them away:

Happy Fall =)

Granola Recipe - quick & easy

1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped or slivered almonds
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey

Preheat the oven to 350˚.

Combine coconut, almonds, oats, oil, and honey together in a large bowl until they are mixed well. Pour onto a sheet pan and bake, stirring once or twice during baking time, until the mixture turns a nice golden brown for 20 minutes.

Remove the granola from the oven and allow to cool, stirring once.  Stores for 1 month or longer in an air-tight container.
