Enrichment Super Saturday Projects
We actually are calling it "Hearth and Home" but I figured most of you would not know what that meant so, I didn't entitle it that. This all takes so much planning and a lot of communicating. I am actually not teaching a class but "overseeing" 4 of them.
Laren was at Home Depot in a town an hour away after a late business trip Friday night to buy Glass Block because most Home Depot's and Lowe's around here don't stock it, it is a Special Order item. After he got home we were drilling holes in them and it took about 30 min. for each hole (and a special drill bit) and we got these glass blocks delivered to the Gal who is teaching the class at 11pm Friday night.
Unfortunately we did not realize until more than half way through the week that you could not just walk into any Home Improvement store and buy those darned blocks. When I was first made aware of the problem I was in middle of my recovery from surgery and couldn't do anything about it. But as soon as I could, I did.
I think they actually turned out very nice and so far we have more people interested in those than any other project. Thank goodness I talked them out of cancelling the class!
Anyway, so here are the pictures of some of the stuff:

Sorry my camera had a smudge on the lens when I took these pics and I didn't realize it until I went to share them. These pictures are just some nice ones of the Denver Temple that I had a Photographer friend take. We are just offering these at the cost of what they were to have enlarged and printed so that those who would like, can have a nice picture of the Temple in their homes. They will mat and frame them theirselves.

And just commenting that I do not know why only HALF of these pictures showed up?! Bizarre, but no time to edit and fix it.
It looks like you had great projects...we need to have a SUPER SATURDAY here!
I love your idea of having someone take a picture of the temple and then enlarge it...
Hope yor are mending well...
That should say
Hope YOU are mending well...
I love calling it Hearth and Home. Not being a crafter, these Saturdays never feel Super to me as my stuff always looks like a third grade art project.
But I can appreciate all the work that goes into making these days special. You are awesome! All why you are recovering. I remember our ward doing the glass blocks a few years ago and having a crisis with where to pick up the glass blocks too.
I hope you have a wonderful time, I can only imagine the stress involved behind the scenes!
it looks like you have some great projects!
