Time Out for Women

Time Out for Women is going to be in Cincinnati in May! If you have never been to Time Out before they are wonderful. The day is filled with spiritual, uplifting messages, as well as a lot of laughs. I went last year to Indianapolis and am very excited that it's in Cincinnati next year. It would be a great Christmas gift idea if you want to throw some hints your husband's way!

Frugal Gift Ideas Handout

I was excited to see so many sisters at our last meeting on Frugal Gift Ideas. I had a lot of fun. Jennifer taught us some really good ideas. I have my handout you can download that has a lot of ideas too.

Frugal Gift Ideas Handout

I also found another great gift idea I wanted to pass along. I recently ordered a magazine subscription to Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine for $2. Yes, a whole year for only $2. I received my first issue yesterday. I thought a magazine subscription would be a nice gift idea and very frugal for only $2. I got on the website today and Every Day with Rachael Ray Magazine is only .99 for a whole year subscription! They have other magazines such as Family Fun, Wondertime, and Women's Day. They also have a lot of other random magazines.

The website is: http://www.lowpricesubs.com/

Have a great holiday season and we'll see you back for more HFPE meetings and activities next year! Let me know if anyone has any activity ideas they'd like to host or attend next year.

Frugal Gift Ideas Meeting

Thursday, November 13th

7:00pm at the church

We will have a class on inexpensive gift ideas and packaging/wrapping taught by Jennifer Theetge. We will also have a lot of ideas for inxpensive gifts to give this holiday season or for any occasion.

We will also be etching glass jars and baking dishes with designs and last names. They make great gifts. You can purchase inexpensive glass jars and baking dishes at Walmart or the dollar stores. You can also save an old spaghetti sauce jar, mayo jar, or pickle jar. You can use a glass casserole dish or pie pan from home or a purchased one.

Please let Mindy know which design you would like before Sunday the 9th. You can see her for examples or with questions. Feel free to email her too: zeigler@memoriesbymindy.com

Here are your choices for glass etching:

Date Jar and Scavenger Hunt Ideas

I want to thank everyone who helped with the Sugar and Spice Enrichment meeting that we had a few weeks ago. I learned a lot and had fun. As a door prize I had a date jar (like a journal jar) filled with fun free or inexpensive date ideas. The idea is to pull out a slip of paper and do what it says for your date. There's everything from playing on the playground at the park to trying a new recipe together to going on a long drive together etc. in the jar. Here's a copy of all the little slips of paper if you'd like to make your own date jar.

Date Jar

Dawna also spoke about a scavenger hunt her and Frank did for a family home evening that could be used as a date. Here's a copy of that too.

Scavenger Hunt

Make sure you download these files now because they will expire in 30 days. Let me know how your dates turn out!

Service Meal Making

Tuesday, September 16th 7:00pm at Courtney Jenkins Home

I am always amazed at the great acts of charity I see in our branch each week. One way we always step in and help is when a meal sign up sheet is passed around. What I didn't realize is that there are many times when families need a meal right away before there is time to send a sign up sheet around.

On Tuesday September 16th at 7:00pm at Courtney Jenkins home we will be making meals to freeze that will later be used when members are in need of them. It will be a fun time to get together and learn new freezer recipes.

If you signed up to bring an ingredient please bring them this Sunday and give them to Courtney! If you can't get them to her by then please bring them with you to the activity.

Welcome

Check this page often for news and announcements relating to our Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment activities and meetings. You will see on the upper right of the page, all our upcoming activities. That can be a quick reminder when they are but, you will be able to find more detailed information in the individual postings.
