In case you're wondering where I've been and what I've been doing recently, I've been working on what you see below, (in-between Haven & Drake... and my nieces and nephews that I've gotten to spend time with recently). Two months ago I got called to be our ward enrichment leader and have been brainstorming & planning our Fabulous Friday ever since. (You know me and my love of creating things. :) Luckily, I have a lot talented and crafty ward sisters who share this love and have done an amazing job of making the projects that were voted in. (I had a bunch of sisters vote so that the crafts offered would appeal to an even wider array of ladies... and not just crafts that we "assigned" to have made that day.) *If any of you are in Arizona... we'd love to have you!

T.G.oodnessI.F.
There's a reason it's called fabulous Friday.
We're crossing our fingers that you'll come and experience for yourself just what makes these Fridays so much FUN. There is an abundance of crafts in hopes that you'll find at least one that you would enjoy making with us! Whether you claim June Cleaver status, run for the hills at the sight of a needle, or just want to pretend to be a domestic diva for a night... we have a fun evening in store for you. Want an excuse for a girls' night out? PERFECT, so do we! (Though... instead of the glitz & stilettos, think comfy clothes & slippers for this G.N.O. Ahhh. Sounds nice right? :) We also want to make this feasible for your schedule, so we've pushed it back until five thirty... and we'll be around for four hours. Don't have a sitter?Relax... knowing that free babysitting will be available. Worried that you don't have the supplies to make any of these? Fear not! We've got you covered, and will supply all materials for each of the crafts. As always, feel free to invite any friends or family to come for this special day. No awkwardness, just craftiness! It's always so much fun to see new faces and learn from other people and this is the perfect night to do so! We look forward to seeing you there!
Having trouble viewing items? Just click on any photo to enlarge.
Having difficulty trying to choose a project? Keep in mind that you should ONLY choose to make as many crafts as you can realistically make in the 4 hours available to us. Below each photo is an estimate of the time needed to complete each project, and does not take our girlie "chat-time" into account. :)
To sign up for these crafts you don't have to crouch over a table, squint at a grainy image of each project in a binder, feel pressured to sign up for a craft you'll never use, or worry about who to give a check to.
To simplify things,
all orders will be taken online. In addition to seeing our displays that were set up, you are now able to view them at your leisure in the comfort of your own home.

*F.Y.I. The photos below are the Chore Cards that are included in this project. Although the title of this chart isn't "FAMILY HOME EVENING" it does include cards that are designated to incorporate spirituality in our families' daily lives, (ie: "Help Initiate Family Scripture Study", "Help Plan Family Home Evening", & "Help Initiate Family Prayer.") There are also cards for children of various ages. We will not be able to make changes to the title of this project as Family Home Evening Charts have already been made at La Loma Ward's Super Saturdays in the past. If you wish to purchase a different vinyl title for your chart you may do so from pennyvinyl.com. Thank you for your understanding.
To view a larger image of the Chore Cards simply click on the photo. Rest assured, the cards given at Super Saturday will not have a line or pennyvinyl.com printed on the bottom, this is simply an attempt to thwart off online image piracy. :)
