So.... I was thinking...
I'd LOVVVVVE to hear from anyone who checks in here. I have heard from many of you from many parts of the world and to this I say THANKS!!! It's heartwarming to know that I am, in a small way, helping to put some smiles on a few faces through the sharing of my creations/handouts. I know my girls at church love them to pieces so I get all warm and fuzzy thinking about how many other young women are out there on Sundays feeling a little extra special because their leaders did something a little extra special for them.
I thought I would do something fun and give you some added motivation to leave a comment on this post. Anyone who posts and lets me know where in this big ole world you check in here from will be entered into a drawing to win a set of 12 handouts of your choosing! You can choose from the previous ones I've done or you can hold out and choose from some I create down the road. Your pick! ♥ When you do leave a comment be sure to leave your email address (I'm the only one who sees it) so I can contact you if you're the winner!
Sound fun?
I will do the drawing in one week from now on Wednesday the 21st!
Toodles! ♥

Hi! I love your handouts. I teach 12 Beehives so sometimes I have to modify your ideas for my time and budget (and mine are NEVER as cute as yours) but my girls love them! Thanks for the inspiration! I would be so thrilled to give them a genuine Paper Cakes and Icing original!!!

ReplyDeleteI love your ideas for young women. I lived in Utah until 3 years ago (I'm a grandma..I'm old) when we were transferred to Washington. I was put in YW and teach twice a month. I love handouts and you have helped me with many of your wonderful ideas. The girls really love them. I used your ruler one the last time I taught. They were very excited about it... I always give credit to those whose ideas I use. Keep em coming (thank you so much for sharing)

Shanna! I just love your creations! I am in Wyoming and teach the Mia Maids. They just go crazy when I go the extra mile and show I care by putting extra effort into things for them. I had a girl that just graduated and she came up and told me that she still has all of my handouts from when she was a Mia Maid. So, I love getting ideas from you and finding new ways to make the lessons creative and fun since I have been in for a few years. Thanks so much! Plus, I LOVE the card kits!!!! I just got them and am so excited to put them together!!!! Yeah!!!! Can't wait till next month!!!!

ReplyDeleteI have to say-- I LOVE YOUR BLOG and your handout ideas. I was just called to YW three weeks ago after a long haitus of 20 years....yes 20 years! I know I am where I am supposed to be and I am so thrilled to have the internet and all the fun websites to help me with my lessons. My girls absolutely loved the handout I gave them today...for lesson 37. They want to make a notebook to keep all their handouts in--so thanks to you I am feeling crafty and my beehives love it.
ReplyDeleteHI! You are so very creative and I love copying your ideas. The beehive girls I teach and the other leaders are always so impressed with everything I have done- thanks to you!
