Free fabric

I have a stack of upholstery samples that I was given. At one point, I thought I could be extremely creative and find all sorts of uses for them, but then I realized (after a few years) that it wasn't gonna happen. So they're free to a good home. Or not so good. I don't really care. There isn't a ton of usable yardage on them, but they'd be quite good for quilts. I'm sure the more creative ones out there can think of all sorts of ways to use them.

Piano lesson swap

I am looking for someone to teach piano to my 7-year old son in return for my teaching their child. Caleb is in book two of the Faber Piano Adventures Method. I have been teaching him, but he would like a different teacher.

I have taught piano for ten years, and would be willing to use any method you choose in teaching your child. I am comfortable teaching at any level, including pre-readers. Please let me know if you are interested. My e-mail address is girlpowerjedi@hotmail.com

Thanks

ASL class anyone?

I am considering starting up another sign class this fall. I am wondering, though, if there is enough interest in it before I make any definite plans. If you are interested, email me:

stef(dot)burns(at)gmail(dot)com. That way I can have your email and let you know what the results are. If there is enough interest, then we can decide a time and go from there!

Thanks!!

Looking for daycare

I have decided to go back to school and I am starting at UNM in August. I am looking for someone (or two someones) who are willing to watch my daughter while I am in class. I have classes each day from 9 to noonish. With my commute I am guessing that I would need someone from 8 to 12:30. This would be for pay.

My daughter is Katelyn (Katie). She is two. I am hoping to have her with someone who has a child near her age to play with. She is very social and would be happy playing with a friend!

You can find me in the ward directory under "P" or be I can be emailed at elpinons@yahoo.com. If you would like, I can be found on Sundays in the senior nursery across from the restrooms on the south side of the building.

Thank you! ~Becca

Cub Scout Day Camp!

We have a fun day of activities planned for our Cub Scout Day Camp!

When: Saturday, August 8th from 8am-3pm (We ask that you arrive at 2:30pm because we will hold a pack meeting at that time).

Where: Ventana building.

What: The boys will be doing various things like first aid, sports, knot tying, making marshmellow shooters, water rockets and they will have the chance to get wet. We will be serving lunch and snacks.

Bring: Please send your son in shorts, wearing his scout shirt and neckerchief. It might be a good idea to send an extra t-shirt in case he gets soaked. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen because the boys will be outside for a good majority of the day. Permission slips (to be passed out soon) will also be needed.

Questions: Contact Chelsey J. or Jen Kesler.

Free School Supplies

Tomorrow morning starting at 8am APS is giving away free school supplies to 5000 kids. It will be at the UNM football stadium NE corner which is located at University and Avenida Cesar Chavez. Take 1-25 south to Avenida Cesar Chavez, turn left on to Avenida Cesar Chavez and the next major street in University, it takes about 30 minutes to get there from the Westside. The kids need to be there, so you cant just send a parent and say "I have 3 kids."

Thanks Frances for the info!

FABULOUS CANNERY NEWS!!

The LDS Home Storage Center prices have gone down! Here is a list of the price changes I found on the Everyday Food storage website. I am so happy about this because we were just about to buy a lot of food storage. When I called our local cannery he said to take advantage of these prices now because they will probably go back up soon. Now is the time to buy!

Don't forget about Book Club meeting

Anyone who would like to discuss polygamy, religion and marriage is invited to come to the next book club meeting this Thursday at 7:30 at Melissa S.'s house. We're reviewing the book "Escape" by Carolyn Jessop, but you don't have to have read the book to come. We'll be in the backyard so bring a jacket/blanket if you get chilled.

Need a massage by a great massage therapist?

My sister-in-law, who usually works at a spa in Washington, is here for a month while her husband is doing an internship here this summer. She would appreciate some business while she is in town since they are poor college students. She is amazing! The charge is $40 an hour flat fee (no tip required.) Her mom has a masage table, and a spare room to be used. She knows every type of massage therapy. She can help you or your husband work out a trouble area or just give you a nice relaxing massage. You can call me Erin S. or any of her sisters that are in the ward, to get her contact info.

FREEEEEEEEEE

Christine B. has some cream dishes (8 place settings) and a baby swing that she is GIVING away! If you are interested she would like you to call her cell 977-4419.

More Shade Deals!

***Sorry that link wasn't working, it's working now!!

Shade has great clearance prices right now. Many of them have an additional 10-30 percent off as well. All of their swimwear is included. I bought the venice beach swimsuit in black. I have it in another color and it is awesome! You can make it rouche (sp?) on the side with some ties and it covers up those problem areas. If you are kind of between sizes, go with the smaller. Also use the code SUMMER for an extra discount off.

Calling all Boxes!

I know that there have been a lot of moves from our ward recently. But does anyone have boxes? If you do, give me a call...my number is in the ward list. Or you can just add a comment on this post and I will find a way to get hold of you. Thanks a bunch!!

Temple GNO: UPDATE

I am moving the date to Thursday July 9th since y'all probably need more time to prepare than 2 days! It seemed this week didn't work well for a lot of you too. So we will plan for next Thursday the 9th, 6 PM at my house, and we will carpool over for the 7PM session. Hope to see you all there!

Temple GNO??

Since it is so hard to get to the temple with our husbands, (or maybe that's just me!) I thought it would be nice to get a group of us together one evening and head to the temple sans husbands. I am thinking Tuesday the 30th we could go to the 7 PM session (the last one of the day). We could meet at my house at 6 PM, and carpool over. Then after we could go out for dessert or something! Let me know if you guys think this is a good idea, and I will make it concrete if I have interest. Thanks!

FREE Online Photo Editing Class

Girls! This is so cool...

If you take digital photos (and who doesn't???) and/or digital scrapbook this is a great free class to give you some fun tips and tricks. It is put on by Jessica Sprague. She is a fantastic photographer and digital designer. Go here for more info...I just signed up. You must register by June 28th in order to get in on this free class. The class begins July 6th, but if you are not able to do it at that time (like me) the class will be available online, for FREE, forEVER!

BTW, you don't need to already have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to sign up...they are providing a link where you can download a free trial version. Woohoo! I also have the super old, bare bones Photoshop Elements 2.0 if anyone wants to install it on their computer. It may be old, but it works for me!

Bunk Beds?

Has anyone had good luck finding decent bunk beds at stores here in ABQ? Craigslist is not serving me well to find wooden ones that are in good shape, so I thought I would price them at a store. Thanks! Angela

New Charter School

Camille forwarded this e-mail to me for the blog about a charter school her friend from Cabezon ward is starting:

Camille,
Here is the blog address for the Charter School we are starting: www.sandiaacademy.blogspot.com <http://www.sandiaacademy.blogspot.com> . I would love it if you could forward the information onto anyone you know in the area who might be interested in a school like this. After looking at the blog, if they are interested at all, please ask them to email the school at: sandiaacademy@gmail.com. That way we can send out updates (ie., when we nail down the address for the school, when we will start accepting applications, etc).
Thanks!
Mellani

So either contact Mellani through e-mail or give Camille a call if you have more questions or would like Mellani's phone number.
