Echoes of Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa W) — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 21:38:00 +0000

It is a LIVE Nativity at Liberty Park. There are 7 different 'scenes' with real animals and Nativity Characters that you walk around to see. A musical number is performed at each scene. It lasts about 30-40 min depending on how crowded it is. Groups will leave from the starting area every 5 min. or so as needed. Enter Liberty Park on 900 S. and 600 E and park on the west side of the Park. There will be fire pits in the starting area to help stay warm.... but DRESS WARM!! Go whenever you can.... but Wanda Copier will be there on Dec 15, 16, 17 and the 22nd. It's a great fun way to spend family time together and help get in the spirit of Christmas! If the weather gets really bad they will cancel it. The last two years we have done it, it was only cancelled once. It has to be pretty bad for them to call it off. We hope many of the Sisters and their families can come enjoy this Gift to the Community and maybe start a new family tradition! They are welcome to call Wanda if they have any questions.

My Experience at the LDS Cannery

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa W) — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:22:00 +0000

Today was our stake’s cannery day at the LDS Cannery. It was so easy to do. I thought that I would be there longer than I was.

First you want to make a list of what you want. You can find a list of things to can here. When you get to the cannery you will put on an apron, hair net and gloves all provided for you. Then first go and see what they have that is already canned. I wanted 4 cans of milk, 1 can of potato flakes, and a can of onions. The onions were already done. So I put them in my cart. So all I need to do was the potatoes flakes and the powdered milk. Someone else was already doing powdered milk so I got stated on the potato flakes. I went and grabbed some labels and then put the date on them and then placed them on the canned. It said that one box of potato flakes would do about 12 cans. So I proceeded to fill the cans with product. After I got about 4 to 5 cans filled I need to seal them. Every product but sugar needs the oxygen absorbers. So I placed the oxygen absorbers in each of the cans and put a lit on them. Now for the sealing. All you have to do is put the can in the machine pull the lever and make sure everything is lined up in it spins the can and seals it.

Crystal at everydayfoodstorage.net has a video that explains how to do it to. You can find it here.

So after you are done canning all of you product you go out to the front, tell them what you have canned. They will then ring it up, you pay and then you leave. Easy peasy. If you need help there are people there to help you. The stake cannery person from our stake was there and she helped me a lot. Her and her husband have had this calling for 5 years and they are there every month to can and help people can.

So now that you have your food storage what do you do with it. Well Crystal at everydayfoodstorage.net has a lot of recipes and ideas to help you. So go check out here site and happy canning.

Interchangeable Watch Bands

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa W) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:53:00 +0000

We will be making interchangeable watch bands November 12th for RS. We need to know how many bands, what colors and what size beads you want.

1. Please brose through the watch face pages and choose a watch face. Cost will be $6.00 per face. You will need to indicate the watch model(top left hand corner of each page), the color wanted and Qty. (Please note that two of the watch face styles have more then one size available so look at the size which should be at the top of the page.)

2. Look at the sample picture of watch bands, indicate whether you want CHUNKY beads or MEDUIUM beads and then what color(s) you would like the band to be. (ie. Brown/neutrals, black and white, bright-multi, etc.) You may choose whatever colors you want. Unless you indicate otherwise, the accent bead will be in silver. We hope to buy the beads in bulk to save on cost but we don’t want to order until we know what colors and size you’d like. You are welcome to make multiple bands, just indicate in the order sheet. we hope to keep the cost of each band around $15.00. It will depend on the beads we buy.

In order to get the beads and watch faces ordered we will need to have the money to Wanda Coper no later than October 25.
