This month went so well. I just wanted to get on here and tell you all about it, maybe some of you would like to do some of the projects, because the legwork has already been done. Not all by me though, I would like to take some of the credit, but I saw a few things done in my hometown, St. Johns AZ and there a quite a few talented sisters out here who helped out!

We did 5 different craft projects on a Friday night from 7:00pm to 12:00pm, hence the name Fabulous Friday. The five crafts were:

1. Flower magnets - These were awesome. The sisters could not get enough of them. We bought Michael’s all out of their simple daisy’s. We put a center circle in them. Used wire to frame the petals, and put a charm on top (The sisters went crazy painting them.)

2. Pebble magnets - These were really cheap so 220 of these were made. You just take a decorating pebble (those you see in the craft section of Wal-Mart that you put in the bottom of vases. Silicon (it is more permanent than hot glue), and paper. So easy and cute for gift toppers.

3. Mini Scrapbooks - These were mini brag books. The sister that made the sample for these did a great job they are only three inches by three inches (about) just enough to put your children’s pictures in, or an address book, or journal for your child, etc.

4. The Be Boards, foot long boards and 3 ft board (Pres. Hinckley’s B’s) These boards were AWESOME! I absolutely loved them. We thought most of the sisters would want to do the 3 ft boards, but we had almost 70 of the small boards and only 12 of the bigger. They were very cute.

5. 4th of July flags for decoration. We ripped five pieces of fabric, 7 by 1 inches, sewed them together, etc etc etc. And glue gunned them to a dowel and placed them in a cute bucket with sand. They are so cute as a center piece. I loved them.

The sisters had a great night, they brought their favorite snack and we talked the night away. Pretty fun and inexpensive for the sisters.
