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...
