Kidation Station

I am working on getting a new blog/website up and going, "Kidation Station". It will have creative activities for kids to copy print and then do: coloring pages, Finish the picture pages, Create a scene (cut outs on a background), Follow the dots ( for about 3 - 5 year olds), Book making Station, Puzzle Pieces (Mostly just squares that you match up the picture parts to), and lots more. Right now I just have a few coloring pictures to do on there, but I have several Finish the Picture activities on paper right now, I just have to get them onto the computer. The others should follow soon. It's a work in progress, but I thought maybe some of you parents would like to use these for your kids.

New Calling

I was given a new calling and it is just perfect for me right now. It is RS Bulletin Board Specialist (and poster- maker) . I get to use my creative ideas and really do some fun things, yet it isn't too demanding for my Chronic Fatigue. I think it will be really fun. The bishop also wants me to do the ward bulletin board. Nobody has done anything with any of them.

The only problem right now is that both my scanner and printer are down for a bit. I have ordered a part for my printer, but until then the Relief Society President is going to let me use hers.

I'm having fun designing them on paper and Publisher right now, don't think I'll have things ready for tomorrow, but hopefully next week.

They are having me do something really cool on the RS board. We'll have a "Needs" and "Want to get rid of" lists, so now that everyone is in a squeeze, we can share instead of spend. I think it is a great idea. We are also putting up skills or talents that people are willing to share.
