Shot in the foot, and Young Women Values hair bows!!!

So yesterday was sunday and it was awesome as usual!!!  I went to church and had a great time and felt the spirit which is always wonderful!!!  Then I came home and started a HUGE hairbow project that I finished this afternoon.  I created a hair bow with fabric flowers made from all the Young Women Value colors!!! 

They are Faith, which is White and stands for Purity, Divine nature which is blue and reminds us to look toward the blue sky and heaven and where we came from, Individual Worth which is red, it reminds us of the blood of Chirst which was paid for us because to him there was no price too high, Knowledge which is green, it reminds us of spring when things are beginning to grow and reminds us to always keep growing and learning, Choice an Accountability which is orange, reminds us to use caution when making choices to prayerfully go about our lives so that we can be sure to choose the right path, Good works which is yellow, it reminds us of sunshine and all the happiness and love that shines from us when we serve and love others, Integrity which is purple and reminds us we are royal daughters of God, in old times this dye was hard to come by so only royalty had purple clothes, and if we have integrity then we will have all the other values as well, and Virtue which is gold, this reminds us that there is nothing more precious than our virtue.

It was a really fun project to make and I love going back to my Young Women roots, I just feel so connected with that program right now and I love it!!  I am going back and feeding my inner child because little Jasmine really needs to know that she is all those special wonderful things that big Jasmine tries to tell all the beautiful young girls in her life that the are.  Little Jasmine is just as sweet, kind, beautiful, and has just as much potential to do good and change the world as the youth that I am honored to serve today.  Here is a pic of my project, i hope you guys like it, it was very good for my soul to make it and wear it as a reminder that I too have all of these values and that I also must always work to keep them.

you must excuse the hair lol it had been a long day :D

So today was also kind of annoying...about a year ago I broke my sesamoid bone and just barely was diagnosed with a broken bone.  Well this afternoon my Dr. shot me in the foot with steroids and put me in a ghastly walking boot...don't worry pics to come.  However!!!  This afternoon i also purchased some cute fabric to cover it in so it won't be too ugly for long.  It has been a bit of a pain getting use to walking in the beast but if it means no surgery then i don't mind wearing it for a couple months.  The dr said i could still dance and swim but to wear the boot at all other times when I am not engaged in those activities. 

Tomorrow I am heading to camp and will be posting notes and pics via my cell phone so keep an eye out to see what's going on, I am sure that I will also post them on FB so no worries.

Until then...

Crafts, Finished dress, Sushi and Lulu's!!!

Today was a VERY busy day!!!!  Today was the big day of crafting with my girls!!  I had an amazing group of extremly crafty women over here today making all sorts of pretty things, of course i will add photos..assuming I can figure out how to do it.  Camp is next week and I am delighted that we were able to get all these wonderful gifts made for the girls today and in less than 3 hours, plus it was a lot of fun.



All the things we made

So last night LATE, I finally finished a dress I started last September.  Last year I took my best friend Britta to see Adam Lambert in concert ( I know we are old and cheesy but he was fun and glittery so :P).  Anyway I wanted to wear this dress, but I didn't finish it because I got too busy working on other things, well last night I finished it and I wore it out tonight with Britta, Susie, and Ashely!!! We had dinner at Tangerine, and Dessert at Lulu's Chocolate bar (I highly recommend this place, it is awesome).  Sadly I forgot to get a pic of us as a group, which sucks cuz we were all cute and vintage looking.  Speaking of which, I had this dress in my closet that never fit me and my friend Susie didn't bring a vintage dress to go out in, so she tried it on and it fit like a glove!!! I am kicking myself for not getting a pic tonight...dangit...oh well here is a photo of the finished dress with me all dressed up rockabilly style :) 





I had on black cork wedges with it, so i was totally ROCKIN!!!  I wish my hair had been bigger, it wouldn't cooporate lol!!!

So all in all I would say today was pretty epic, and now I am proud of myself because two days in a row I have done something awesome.  I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!!!

Until then...

So I set up my blog for my mobile device...I wonder how it works, time to find out!!!! Hmmm I wonder if andriod has an app for blogger????

Here we go

Alrighty so I have decided that I am going to hang up the excuse that I never have anything worth blogging about because it is a total lie!!!  My life is awesome, as per my title ;)!!!  I keep seeing on facebook, and other blogs all these wonderful and interesting things that people are doing and writing about so I decided that I am going to start talking about the interesting stuff I do.  Today, day one, I started a blog!! YAY!!!  Tomorrow I am hosting a crafting day at my house, the spoils of which i will post in tomorrow's blog if all goes according to plan.  The big craft day tomorrow is in preparation for Young Women's Camp for my church.  I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I LOVE IT!!!  I love the gospel of Jesus Christ, he is totally awesome!!!  But camp is the time of year that a select, and I say elite ;) few women of my stake, get to spend a week with the most amazing group of young girls in the entire world, of course i could be biased :D!!!  This year our camp theme is "Your Once Upon a Time is Now" its a play on the princess theme, because last year an amazing man named Dieter Utchdorf gave an amazing talk with the same title all about how life is like a story, and right now is our once upon a time and each day we are writing the pages and events in our story. And about how the heros and heroines in our stories were that because of overcoming all sorts of adversity and struggles and still staying true to theirselves, and their beliefs.  So me and a group of my friends are all making some wonderful crafty things to give as gifts to the girls.  Of course when it is all over i will post some pictures for my followers (which i don't have now but hope to soon :D) to see all the fun stuff we did and maybe use some of it in their own princess themed thing!!!  So todays big accomplishment!!! Start a blog..check!!  Tomorrow make lots of cute things and post pics!!!  See ya then!!!
