Fabulous Friday Projects

Here are the projects that we will be offering for Fabulous Friday.  The event will be held on Friday November 4th from 6pm to 9pm.  The items will be displayed at church each Sunday until October 9th.  All money will be due by October 16th and needs to be turned into the ward using a tithing envelope.  Please write "Fabulous Friday" in the "Other" section so that they know it's for your projects.  We are also going to be offering 2 free classes.  Those details will be posted soon.  We hope to see you there!

Fabulous Friday Free Class and Service Project

 

We hope you are all working up those crafting skills as we gear up for Fabulous Friday in just 10 days.  If you haven't turned your money in for your projects (yes there are still a few of you), please do so on Sunday or I will be lovingly hunting you down :)  

 

Now that we have that out of the way....

 

We are excited to announce the free class that will be available.  It will be a set (4) of tile drink coasters for each person that signs up (limit 1 set per person).  You can see a similar project here.  The paper will be different but this will give you an idea of what they will look like.  If you have paper that you love and would like to use, feel free to bring it as well.  

 

We will also have a fantastic service project lined up.  Did you know that when a child is taken from their home due to neglect and abuse, Foster Care Workers bring a large garbage bag for the child to put their pillow, clothes, blanket into? Austin Harding wants to change this and give as many kids in Foster Care their own luggage. To help make it theirs – he needs your help to make personalized luggage tags for each luggage he collects. The worker would put their names on it – we just need to make them.   Bring your girl and boy scrapbook supplies (paper, stickers, scissors, ribbon, etc) and come help make luggage tags that will be used on new and slightly used medium to large suitcases (being collected by Austin Harding for his Eagle Project). If you don’t have scrapbook supplies, we still need your help creating and putting them together. It will be fun to work together for such a great cause.  We would like to encourage the Young Women to come and participate if they would like.

 

Please follow this link to sign up for both projects.  If you have signed up to complete other projects that night, don't let that hold you back.  Either one of these can be done in between other projects you have signed up for.

 

Lastly, we would like to invite you to each bring a treat or snack to share.  If it's something you love and want to share the recipe, bring that too and we will compile them for everyone on the blog.  Feel free to email or call me with any questions.  We can't wait to spend the night chatting, crafting, snacking and getting to know you!  

 

See you soon!

 

Fabulous Friday 2012

It's time once again for the highly anticipated Fabulous Friday activity.  We always have such a great time chatting, eating, learning and crafting.  Who wouldn't want to come?

The activity will be held on Friday, October 26th from 6-9pm.   

The items will be displayed each Sunday beginning September 9th through October 7th when all money will be due.  We will be offering online signups along with signups at church each Sunday (we will keep the two synced up).  In order to sign up online, please follow this link.  Each project has its own page along the bottom of the document.  Simply click the project page and enter your information.  Remember, you can always use the signup sheets at church each Sunday if you prefer.

All money will be due by Sunday, October 7th and needs to be turned into the ward using a tithing envelope.  Please write "Fabulous Friday" in the "Other" section so that they know it's for your projects.  We realize that October 7th is General Conference so feel free to pay before then (in fact, we beg you!).

This year we will be offering 2 free classes.  Those details will be posted soon.

Fabulous Friday Unveiled

Date: October 8th 6pm - 9pm

It's that time of year!  The Relief Society Meeting Committee has worked hard to bring some fun ideas to this year's Fabulous Friday event.  We hope that you will find something that interests you.  We will also be offering a few free classes and those will be announced in the coming weeks.

You may sign up for any of these projects by emailing us or signing up at the displays each Sunday.  You will receive an envelope that will list the items you sign up for.  Please confirm the items and place your money in the envelope and return it to Desirae A.  Please make all checks payable to Desirae.

Please consider the time that each of these projects take to complete.  We have to be done at 9pm sharp!  We have placed quantity limits on the projects.  This is due to the time constraint but also due to a limit on some of the supplies.

We will be having a "make-up" event on November 2nd from 6-9pm for those of you that cannot make the October 8th date.  However, if you plan to sign up for a clock you will need to attend on October 8th.
