Activity Day Girls Recognition Night

"Bloom Where Your Planted" was our theme for the recognition night. I'm one of three other leaders on the "Dream Team" for the activity day girls. Each of us are incharge of a month to
come up with activities for the girls. Which is great, but my month was the recognition night and
I had to come up with the ideas. So I used my Blog logo, Bloom where your Planted and the rest was easy. Heather made these fantastic invitations.

Karen made special flower cupcakes for the girls used with gum drops flattened and them cut to the shape of a flower. I made the rest of the cupcakes for everyone else with just frosting on top.

Louisa let us borrow the cute flowers to hang along with the girls tissue paper flowers that were spread all around.
Gail came up with cute programs and certificates to hand out to the girls along with a DVD of
all the pictures we took of the girls activities. I took pictures of flowers at the temple and entered them into the video with pictures of the Mesa Temple and visitor center paintings along
with music it turned out really nice. About 9 min. long we watched it after the girls sang, "If The Savior Stood Beside Me." Then Bro. Deron ( 2nd counselor in Bishopric) talked about the Faith in God Book and likened their testimony to a Bamboo Bush and how it stays under the ground for 5 years and then shoots up 60 ft in 6 weeks. He did a great job.

The girls displayed some the things they have been working on all year/ Everyone had a great time. I think the girls need to have a talent show. They are really talented!!!The girls made tissue paper flowers the week before to decorate the R.S. Room. They helped clean up by taking them home. JoAnn's had a big package of tissue paper for $10.00 and then with the coupon they were about $6.00. The whole activity cost about $30.00

I want to learn how to make those paper flowers. They are beautiful. We miss you in YW but there is no doubt you are doing an outstanding job in Activity Days. Remember to prep the girls to get their personal progress done while they're Beehives.
