Our Make 'n Take was so much fun!



Our 2nd Annual Elkhorn Springs 1st Ward Relief Society Make 'n Take was a huge success.  We had a great turn-out of more than 35 sisters. 

 

We practiced our song for the November 18th Sacrament meeting, had drawings for those who had completed their Visiting Teaching in October, and had a wonderful dinner. 



 

Several sisters brought delicious homemade soups, and we had bread sticks from Olive Garden and veggies to snack on.  

 

After dinner, Brother May read the story of the Christmas Jar while we watched a slide show of pictures from the book.  Then we had the privilege of hearing from Bishop Morris.

 

Next, Theresa Cornwell gave us a demonstration on making pumpkin rolls.  Unfortunately, our photographer was cutting extra rolls for our dessert, and was not able to take photos.

 

We were able to work on several craft projects ~ Sammy Snowman made from a paving brick, the Harvest Banner with burlap flags, a Candy Bar Snowman made with a Hershey bar, a Small Sweet gift made with a pack of gum, and a Paperback Pumpkin from a book.  We also had the opportunity to make our own Christmas Jar, taste Russian Refresher Wassail Mix (and take one home), make up candy bags for military personnel as a service project, and exchange our slightly used home decor items for new ones. 

 

Many of the craft projects, as well as some alternatives, will be listed in the blog.  Just check out the links on the right side of this blog to go directly to the instructions and recipes you desire.  That way you won't have to scroll through the entire blog to find

what you are looking for. 

 

This entire evening was the culmination of many hands and hours.  Thank you to everyone who helped ~ from our nursery workers, to those who provided the soups, and to all who helped with the crafts, planning, program, decorating, set up and clean up.  It wouldn't have happened without all of you! 

THANK YOU!
