Making My Life Easier

Every Sunday for Young Women's we have used this little beauty for our announcements. Tacking it to the top of the chalk board for this 5'2" girl has not been so easy!

So, Andy and I came up with this solution: a Magnet Board. It is a piece of metal Andy cut and painted white for me. Then, I used my handy little CriCut to cut out vinyl lettering for the headings. Then, I printed each girl's and leader's name on the cute pink paper and attached it to magnetic backing. Then, I mod-podged the whole thing so that when the girls handle the magnets each Sunday, they won't get worn out so easily. I also printed enough numbers (0-9) for the hymns we sing.

We store names and numbers on the back when they're not in use.

I just lean it on the bottom edge of the chalk board and it makes my life so much easier!

You and Andy make a good team. It turned out great! I bet every one of those YW is requesting an activity that consists of design lessons from Nicole.

That's a great idea. It looks so much better than the one we used to use.
Hope you are all doing well in YW!
