We invited all of the sisters in from Primary and Young Women, so we wanted to hand out something

extra special.  We made muffins, and then put these bookmarks in to decorate the muffins.  We decided on no frosting- so the bookmarks could be saved easily.

We then decorated a rolling cart from the kitchen with a cute tablecloth, and arranged the muffins on 3 tier muffin stands with little chocolates also.  

Tip:  Bake muffins in non-stick pan, and place in the liner after they have been baked.

Technology Fireside Links

Tonight's fireside was on how to start using the Personal Video Conferencing for certain meetings, so as we can be with our families more, and have more time to actually live and share the gospel.  Time spent traveling long distances to attend a meeting can be reduced.

List of all videos available:
http://tech.lds.org/wiki/Instructional_screencasts

These are two of the videos they shared during the fireside:

Training Video 1

Training Video 2

We were also given the following list of different technology ways to learn and live the gospel.  A few of these were new me, so I thought I'd share the list.  Enjoy!  - Candi
