…is adorable.
Trying to convince to him to get the kerchief.
Adorable-ness would then triple.
Getting ready for General Conference, hooray!

In Primary last Sunday, we handed out church leader flashcards to the children as an Easter gift, and also to get them thinking about the upcoming General Conference.
These were really easy to make, mainly because you can download high-res, print-quality photos of all the church leaders here. So awesome. The backside of the photos are printed with the leaders’ names. I then drilled (like literally, drove a hand powerdrill through 40+ sets of cards) a hole in the corner, and bound each set with ribbon when I ran out of book rings. Which apparently, are nearly impossible to find in my part of the United States.
Now, this would be the part where I say click here to download, but unfortunately, the church has strict usage rights on its copyrighted material so I can’t share my doc. But its very simple to put together. You just have to download the pictures (15 total), resize to about business-card size (I laid mine out in Illustrator), print, cut out, then bind with ribbon or book rings.
I am so looking forward to conference! Is it bad to have “favorites”? I can’t help having Elder Bednar as mine!

My friend wants to have an 80′s prom for her upcoming birthday. This is my dream outfit.

So I just discovered the Polaroid app for the iPhone and went a little picture crazy this morning. I took images of my so-called “happy corners.” Do you have those too? Little pockets around your home that are especially pretty and bring serenity now? My emotional stability depends on those corners. I am exaggerating.
For my birthday this year, I would like to sweep the piles of envelopes, and papers, and catalogs, and magazines. Off. My. Desk. Into a trash can. And not even give it a second thought. Same with vacuuming. Would be a treat to run the vacuum without having to pick up Lego pieces, or marbles, or army men. My vacuum would just take it all away.
From writing this, I realized I must have been harboring a subconscious-but-now-conscious desire to spring clean. Blogging: it’s the new self psycho-analysis!

The first Primary (the children’s organization of my church) download of many more maybe? With my new calling as Primary secretary, I imagine I’ll be regularly designing little things here and there.
These are assignment cards for the children I made a few weeks ago. Card assignments include opening prayer, Article of Faith recitation, scripture reading, and talk. These are given to assignees a week ahead of time so they can prepare for the following Sunday.
If you’re serving in a Primary presidency and could use these cards, download the PDF by clicking on the image below.
