Do What She Needs - Visiting Teaching (VT) Changes 2018

I just read that there are some changes (see HERE) coming in 2018 to visiting teaching which I am excited about. I love the shift in emphasis, and really I think the heart of visiting teaching has always been to do visiting teaching in the way the sister you see needs, but this really frees up those sisters who don't know if it 'counts' to do it that way. It's all about reaching the one, and for me it comes down to, did my sister feel loved by me this month, did they know they could count on and reach out to me, did I follow promptings regarding them, was I seeking to get these promptings, and others. Since being called as RS Pres in my ward I've created lots of printables for various things (it's my love language I guess:), I'll start putting them on here and maybe they'll help you too:)

Here's one that I'll use when introducing the changes to my sisters, one is an 8x10, which can also be enlarged up to 16x20, click the image to be taken to the download site, and one is a 4x6 if you want a handout size, or 4 to a page. Enjoy.xxx

March 2014 Visiting Teaching Message - The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Light of the World

Hi there:) This months message can be found HERE - it's a great reminder to follow the example of the Savior and let our light shine. Only light can drive away darkness and the more let our light shine the less darkness can exist. The Savior shows us the way:)

Here are two handouts - one from my store (Sprinkled Joy), which has two 4x6 handouts (one with a white background and one with a white one), and a 4x6 recipe card for YUMMY lemon blueberry bread. You can download HERE.

And then also a free one for you using the Quentin L. Cook quote:) - sized 4x6

Free Valentine Straw Chalkboard Tags & Love Hearts StrawFlags/Cupcake Toppers

In celebration of LOVE, here are a couple of free printables for you:)

{The Chalkboard Tags} - A massive variety of cute straws can be purchased from my store here:

DOWNLOAD TAGS PRINTABLE HERE

These are the perfect width to attach to the bottom of a pack of straws, or can be punched and tied with some cute twine (available in my Etsy shop) around however many straws you like. Contains message “You Are Ex-STRAW-dinary, Happy Valentines Day!”. The printable is sized 8.5x11 and contains 13 tags on each sheet that just need to be cut out. I recommend card stock for printing these.

{Love Hearts Straw Flags/Cupcake Toppers)

DOWNLOAD STRAW FLAGS  HERE

Inspired by the love hearts candy these little flags are a cute addition to your straws with fun messages like: “Be Mine”, “I Like You”, “ You Rock”, “Love You”, “Call Me”, “For Ever”, “Smile”, and “Love Bug”. Each 8.5x11 printable contains 34 Straw Flags.

Instructions for making Straw Flags/Cupcake Toppers

• Print the sheet on your paper of choice. (I used a 67lb card stock, but regular 20lb paper would work too) 
• Cut the paper along the light grey lines, this will result in 34 individual flags 
• Stick some ‘permanent’ double-sided tape on the back of the flags about two thirds of the way down, (so, one third of the back of the flag will have tape on and two thirds will not) ~ make sure the tape goes all the way to the edges this will keep the sides together giving it a professional look. 
• Get your straw and wrap the flag around it with the love hearts on the outside, lining up the two ends together, then press the two sides of the flag together. ** These will also work as cupcake toppers and you would substitute a straw for a toothpick and put double-sided tape on half of the back instead. ** 
• To finish your flag you can cut a triangle shape at the end or cut on a slant.
