This week was my first official activity I was in charge of since being called as 2nd Counselor in Relief Society at church. We had an AMAZING turnout for the activity. Over 50 sisters/visitors attended, and probably only 35 come on a normal Sunday. I can't take credit for most of it because Sherry, the Enrichment Leader, is awesome...and the whole idea was her idea.
We started with a dinner, which was good until we ran out of food due to the high number of sisters. Afterwards Sherry and I taught a chocolate class. We melted chocolate and made candy with molds (temples, hearts, suckers etc). Next we dipped marshmallows in chocolate and decorated with M&Ms, sprinkles, etc. These were by far my favorite! They would be great for a baby shower or birthday party. I found the above heart picks at Dollar Tree and used them as valentines skewers. They turned out cute! Online we also found an idea to use kids crazy straws as a skewer. Lastly, Sherry taught our to make chocolate turtles. Yummy!
Next we had a guest speaker speak about "Be Sweet to Yourself in 2011". She is a licensed therapist and talked about positive affirmations and being good to yourself.
It was a great night! Hopefully we haven't set our expectations too high for next month!
