2010 Mutual Crafts

In my spare time (I'm laughing) I have been working on projects for next years mutual theme...


“Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.”

Joshua 1:9

I have come up with 5 different projects. I know...out of control. I started with two and it just spiraled from there. Three of the projects stick to the theme and two are a little different. Is different a good word? Maybe I should describe them as special. I picked a word I thought would be a good focus for the year. Courage. Right away I liked this word and thought of it's importance for today's youth. Slight problem. I really wanted to include my fav part of the theme "for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." No clue as how this was going to happen. That's a whole lot of words to cut out! If you know me you would know when you say a word I can sing a song with that word. As I focused on Courage I started to sing "Courage, for the Lord is on our side". For those who don't know that verse is from the song "Let Us All Press on". Perfect! A project is born....

I will post a project a day for the next 4 days. Please give me your opinion of likes and dislikes. It's good to hear feedback! I will post a pattern to this project today or tomorrow..now back to cutting out nativity sets :)
