Good luck with the moving and crossing things off lists...(sigh!)<br /><br />Dear Loyal Friend (tee hee) - I am inviting you to participate in a little fun, good times, online, but also in real life, easy-yet-creative-as-you-wish-experiment via My Facebook page.<br /><br />Does that just say it all, or what? What...Ok, here are the deets - <br /><br />1. Choose an inspirational phrase from the recent General Conference. (I chose "The future is as bright as your faith.")<br /><br />2. Bring your quote to life in some way. (I am sewing a quilted wall-hanging, but you will probably do something way better and cooler like creating an awesome chalk drawing in a public place somewhere incorporating the words from the prophets...or create a video...or simply take a cool picture, or stamp a card...or create bumper stickers...or draw on the windows of your friend's car...or convince your Seminary class to spell the words out using their bodies for letters...or write the words on the check you sign at a restaurant...you get the idea...Just do what you DO.) <br /><br />3. Take a picture of what you have made/displayed and include details and a link to the Gen Conf talk online in the caption. A brief personal testimony scores extra "points"! :)<br /><br />4. Either tag me in the picture or POST the picture to my profile so that my FRIENDS all have access to YOUR AWESOMENESS.<br /><br />5. The TOP THREE entries will receive a totally desirable prize and a sense of satisfaction...and bragging rights, if you're into that kind of thing. :) Perhaps there will be more prizes depending on the participation.<br /><br />THE EXPERIMENT ends in two weeks. I will judge the results and choose the winners in a completely unscientific, yet pretty unbiased way and announce the top picks on FRIDAY, MAY 1ST.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for playing...and I hope you have a total blast with this!! <br /><br />Your Friend on Facebook...and in REAL LIFE! - Jocelyn Hatch Christensen (for people who need to look me up on FB)<br /><br />You are welcome to invite your other LDS friends to participate in this!Jocelyn Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342635172904848811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486575117120309203.post-26879003087362366052009-04-17T15:57:00.000-03:002009-04-17T15:57:00.000-03:00That quilt is beautiful!That quilt is beautiful!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917067716960353906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486575117120309203.post-21926055815868123302009-04-17T15:16:00.000-03:002009-04-17T15:16:00.000-03:00Wow - I am sooooo not a sewing type of person.

My bet is this: the number of posts will increase for a while as you procrastinate packing/moving/etc. Then they will stop suddenly for good chunks of time as you realize that you have WAAAAAAAY too much to do and not enough time to do it in. <br /><br />If I win, I get ice cream. :)janaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051039427781716343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486575117120309203.post-9152245161425587312009-04-17T14:56:00.000-03:002009-04-17T14:56:00.000-03:00I get that way whenever we move or have another ki...I get that way whenever we move or have another kid.

Only a Mom can get away with bragging! And remember all - everything gets accomplished a step at a time. When I was a younger mom and my kids were little I desperately wanted to wallpaper the kitchen. Beautiful pattern I had purchased that was going to transform the way my kitchen looked. Do you think I could find the time (even late at night - which I tried...)to hang wallpaper in an entire kitchen? The paper waited and beckoned for about 6 months, when in total frustration one day I hung ONE STRIP! A few days later I did another one. Then another - you get the picture. It took about two months - but I got it done. I learned to stop looking for huge blocks of time to devote to a project and to grab 10-20 minutes whenever I could. What a lesson - step at a time people, step at a time. You don't fail until you quit....Mommadj5https://www.blogger.com/profile/02866766047743831712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486575117120309203.post-89305505229329678372009-04-17T13:30:00.000-03:002009-04-17T13:30:00.000-03:00very nice~I took a quilt piecing class at the loca...very nice~I took a quilt piecing class at the local quilt shop and it is really difficult!
