Scripture Study
Merry Christmas! In an attempt to make scripture study more meaningful for our family, I have been scouring the web, trying to find SOMETHING . . .
Well, I have found a lot of things that I put on my Church Board in pinterest, but I still wanted a journal for my kids to work with.
Well, I have found a lot of things that I put on my Church Board in pinterest, but I still wanted a journal for my kids to work with.
Long story, short (too late!) I made up five different page options (using another ladies wording) for a scripture journal, the first for a pre-K writer and the last something that I will use. Then, because we are going to start the Book of Mormon over again, I put in the Scripture Mastery key words in a traceable font for the preschool set in the same format. This lady (NOT ME!) has developed this lovely little printable that can be printed on clear(ish) sticker paper, and applied directly to your scriptures. These are the same keywords that I used.
Please e-mail me at girlpowerjedi(at)hotmail(dot)com if you would like a copy of the file. It is a pdf and I do not know how to upload it. Sorry!

Her number is in the Ventana Ward directory.

a sister in need
Hi all,
I hope no one minds that I'm doing this. But, I thought I should let people know...
Sister Harrington (in Ventana Ward) is currently hospitalized and will be having surgery this morning. I don't know who she knows in either ward, but I know that she would love it if the people she knows called her to wish her well this afternoon (or visit her if you are so inclined.) I hate putting more info than that on the blog, so if you would like to contact her, please e-mail me at michechapman(at)gmail(dot)com and I can give you her hospital/room/phone info.
Thanks!
Michelle C.

flashlights & popcorn
Just a reminder that the Volcano Cliffs scout troop is selling popcorn and flashlights as a fundraiser for the boys and their scout expenses.
The flashlights are AWESOME. They come in a 3 pack for $20. They are waterproof. One is powered by shaking it, one is solar powered (can even be charged by headlights from your car and holds a charge for years!), and one clips to the brim of a hat. These are the best, most versatile flashlights I've ever owned. These ARE NOT available in stores so don't miss out getting them now. Great for 72 hour kits, keeping under your sink or in your car, and make great gifts.
Also, there are 5 or 6 different varieties of popcorn that they're selling (and who doesn't love having an instant snack around?)
They're at the Lowe's near Cottonwood mall today until 4:30PM or you can get them from any scout in the ward (or contact Rebecca H. and she'll make sure you get what you need.)
If you need her contact info or names of any scouts selling the goods you can email me at melissa dot lee dot spencer at gmail dot com.

Thursday book club
FYI we are having a book club meeting tomorrow night (12/15/11) at 7:30 PM discussing "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See. I'm not 100% sure of the location so I will confirm in the morning and send out one more annoying email to let you all know.
Also, don't forget about the service project afterwards starting around 9 PM making "blessing bags". Refer to the Ventana blog for more info.
One more thing- do you have a Newberry book/prizewinning piece of literature that you LOVE? We need some recommendations for next month's book selection- something you've read yourself and can vouch for it's content.
See you tomorrow.

Christmas Goodie Recipe Exchange
This month's recipe exchange was so yummy! Why? Because I love sugar. We had lots of good stuff. I haven't got all the recipes yet, but figured I would get the recipes out there in case you wanted to make some before Christmas. If you went and made some yummy fudge or cookies, or whatever, please email me the recipe and I will add it.
Stef's English Toffee
Susan's Ande's Chocolate Mint Cookies
Amy's White Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Rebecca's Fudge (I don't have her recipe, but I think this is what she said she made. If not, ask her for the yummy recipe.)
Anneliese's Peppermint Truffles They were really good.
Next month we are doing breads. That includes rolls, bread (yeast of non-yeast...aka banana, friendship, etc), muffins, biscuits, etc. You get the idea. Bring a family recipe or try something new. Hope to see you there!!
Have a Merry Christmas!!!

2-Get Motivated Business Seminar Tickets - Free!
My boss gave me 2 "Get Motivated Business Seminar" tickets and I can't use them. I wish I could go but I already have other obligations. The seminar is for tomorrow, December 13th, 2011, at Tingley Coliseum. It goes from 8:00am-5:00pm but you can show up whenever you would like. He even paid for the upgrade to the executive office package which gets you a workbook and better seating. It's suppose to be a fanastic seminar with speakers such as Rudy Giuliani, Laura Bush, Terry Bradshaw, Colin Powell and more. Check out the website www.getmotivated.com for more information. If you want the tickets, please let me know by sending me an email to rdivett at gmail dot com or call me (Rochelle D. from the Ventana Ward). I would hate to see them go to waste.

Service project for book club on Thursday
Hey fellow readers (or non-readers, even!),
I thought that since it's December and time to think about giving, perhaps it would be fun to do a little service project as part of book club. There are so many people right now around Albuquerque who could use a little extra help this time of year, but it's often hard to know what to do that will really make a difference. I'd like to put together "blessing bags" for us to keep in our cars so that we can pass them out to those in need rather than giving money. Here's a link that talks about blessing bags:
http://kwavs.blogspot.com/2011/05/blessing-bags-how-to.html
If you'd like to help by bringing something to put in the bags, it would be greatly appreciated. Here are some things that would be good to have in the bags:
Gallon size Ziplock bags - Michelle
chapstick - Melissa (30)
packages of tissues - Darbie (30)
toothbrush and toothpaste
comb - Darbie (30)
soap - Monique
trail mix
granola bars - Melissa (30)
crackers - Chelsey (30)
pack of gum - Darbie (30)
band aids - Melissa (30)
baby wipes - Monique
deodorant - Darbie (5)
shampoo and conditioner - Monique
lotion
Capri-Sun - Darbie (10), Chelsey (20)

We would like to make 30 bags to distribute so that we can bless many lives.
Toiletries should be sample size so that we can fit them in the gallon bags. Please bring items in multiples of 5 (or more). Feel free to raid your stash of samples that you've collected (you know you've got one!).
If you would like to participate, email me at chelsey DOT jorgensen AT gmail DOT com and let me know what you'd like to bring. If you can bring more than one type of item, great! I will be updating the list on the blog as I receive emails so that we can have a good variety of things to put in our blessing bags. We'll be putting these together after the book club discussion, so if you're not going to be able to be at book club for the discussion, come at 9 to help with the bags. It won't be a hard or time consuming project, but I think it could make a difference for someone.

Who wants my extra Leap Frog Leappad?
Hey Everyone,
To keep a long story short... After many days of calling every store in New Mexico and looking on every possible website that sells the Leap Frog Leappad, I finally tracked some down. This is one of those toys, like Tickle Me Elmo, that are in high demand and nearly impossible to get. Even nationwide. But I have two. One for my kids and one extra. If anyone wants it (and can appreciate all that went into getting my hands on it) they can buy it from me. It cost $100 plus taxes. It is possible to buy online still, like through Amazon and Ebay, but they are selling for minimum of $175. Let me know and happy shopping for your kiddos, husband, and of course, your self! - Rachael B. rachaelboyle(at)gmail(dot)com

ASL Classes
Howdy! It's me again. Stef. Burns.
I'm going to be teaching two ASL this go round. (around? round? whatever.) ASL 1 for beginners and ASL 2 for those who made it through my first class.
It's a 10 week class, every Thursday. You don't need anything...just show up at my house and learn. I will have video of a really cute guy (my husband) signing the words posted on the class blog.

Classes start Thursday Jan 12.
ASL 1 will be from 9-10am
ASL 2 will be from 10:30-11:30am.
The classes are free. They are fun. If nothing else it is an hour to socialize with friends in another language. Bonus!!
Please, let me know if you are interested in taking the class this time around. You can call me...if you know my number. You can email me stef.burns at gmail.com. You can leave a comment here. Just let me know so I can make plans.

Nov. Recipe Group recipes....late...like me.
Yeah, so sorry that it has taken me this long to get the soup recipes up from last month. But since it was cold, I figured I was just in time.
Here they are:
Darby's Cream Cheese Chicken and Vegetable Soup
Jenny's Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup
Susan's Vegetable Cheese Soup
Amy's Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup
Stef's Bread Bowls (My soup wasn't all that great so I decided to share this recipe instead.)
Bethany had some super yummy tomato soup and Kellie has delicious sausage-y soup. I am sure that they would love to share the recipes with you. Just ask them. And if you get those recipes, would you pass them on to me. Then I will post them. (You know I am totally teasing you Bethany and Kellie....kind of...a little...okay, give me the recipes already! They were so good!!)
See you next week for the Holiday Treat/book exchange at Jenny C. house. If you haven't reserved already you need to bring about 3 dozen of whatever you are going to share.
My hips thank you!!
