This weekend I was able to help in celebration of the Relief Society organization. I am on the activities committee so I had a small part in all the fun! We went with the theme "Buzzily Doing Something Extraordinary" that we found from this blog here.
I was in charge of making this banner. It isn't anything too special, but I think it turned out cute, especially since all the materials were things I had in my craft stash already. I loved the "bee" theme in all the decorations, it was fun!
To help us out with all the decorations, we asked 6 talented sisters in our ward to each be in charge of decorating a table. Each of them were so different and so much fun! They did such a great job!
We kept the meal simple. We had soup, rolls and salad and finished it off with birthday cake and ice cream :) It was delicious!
And what would a party be without presents?! We had each sister bring a homemade or gently used item from their home and played a gift exchange activity with questions about the history of the Relief Society!
I really am grateful to be a member of the Relief Society. Did you know that it is the largest women's organization in the world?! Pretty neat. I love the instant sisterhood and kindness I always feel from my fellow RS sisters- no matter where I go! Whether it was in Utah, Wisconsin or even when we lived in China, I always knew I had friends I could count on. It really is great to be a part of.
Cute party! I was going to post about ours, but then I was too busy when I was there to take any pictures. Oh well, maybe next time!
