Thanks! and a Handout Giveaway!!!


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! ♥

  10. Hi there from Yuma, Arizona! I love love love everything you make, especially your handouts! I know that the handouts are not the most important part of the lesson, but I think it is awesome to give my Mia Maids something ridiculously cute to help them remember what aspect of the Gospel we talked about! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us!

  22. I 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)

  23. 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!!!!

  28. I absolutely love your handouts. I teach the Mia Maids twice a month and I'm currently living in Kentucky. I don't have the time to put into the handouts so love that you share with us.
    Do you happen to have a neat handout maybe for Visiting Teaching - that can be used like for a refrigerator magnet with the visiting teachers phone numbers? Thanks for all you do.

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.
