What I see behind the lense

When I have the opportunity to do a bit of travel, I find that I truely enjoy the wonder and beauty of this wonderful life I have. Should it be the natural wonders of the world, or the heavenly places I have the opportunity to be in, I always seem to see the beauty in all! I think if we all took the time to look at the beauty of the simple things , we might start looking at life and living life just a bit differently!~ Bonnie Arlene

Gift Jar for Advancement to Young Women

~A sweet sister shared with me that when a young girl advances to the Young Women it can be a bitter sweet  moment for her. So with some thoughts from a friend and some creative ideas of my own, I created this gift to make this changing day special for her.

~~I took on old quart mason jar and placed a handfull of candies with a little note( stay sweet), A rock with a little reminder note( We can always be forgiven for our sins), A shell with a note inside( Don't be afraid to come out of your shell ), A handmade beaded bracelet  representing the 8 young womens values ( purple,red,blue,yellow,gold,green, orange, clear ) and a card reading...

Arise And Shine Forth~ 2012 Young Womens Theme

~ Again...my 3 yong women came to me hoping that I would find some way to help them raise money for camp.....Together we put our heads together and created a warm memory for our  Young Womens president for the year! 

2012 Choose the Right ~ Sharing time Quilt

Choose the Right..quilt for Vero Beach Primary

~ Being a fairly new Primary President, I have learned to love all these great blogs and posts and links to get great ideas for our Primary. I just love creating memories and things to remind us of important moments, so as I was exploring I found a really great concept for the 2012 Sharing Time and modified it slighly to my talents, so to the individual who had the idea for the tree and poem thank-you..It has been so much fun watching our tree grow this year!~ Bonnie

My creative side!

I love trying new things especially my hand at crafts! Give me a thought and I will run with it....some friends consider me an overachiever, I tend to excel at those things I enjoy and avoid those things I realize I am not so good at.  I am also not so great at blogging but I hope to become better at it, especially since I love looking at others and getting great ideas!~~ I am a recycle queen when it comes to things that have special meaning to me or even to others. So I do have an upcoming project I will be starting here soon and I will post pictures of my progress as I work at completing it. Hopefully it will get your creative juices flowing and jump start your creative side.~ Bonnie
