This month our Relief Society Activity was a book exchange and guest speaker. Jaime made this adorable invite for it. I love it so much.
I gathered some things from Party City, Target, and World Market.. how cute are those wooden stick pencils?! And the little owls and toadstools?!
I spent a lot of time wrapping books with the wrapping paper for height on the tables.
Jaime made some adorable food labels and quotes for me.
For the food/snack table, we had books set up with treats that matched the books somehow - for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we had chocolates,
for the Very Hungry Caterpillar, we had gummy worms,
for Diary of a Wimpy Kid, we had cheese,
for Harry Potter, we had chocolate wands, and for Popcorn Popping, we had popcorn.
When the women came in, we had this table set up outside the room. They wrote their names on the paper and put it in the bucket for a drawing.
We gave away these adorable book bags my friend made for us.
We asked everyone who came to bring a book to donate. We gave them to a Refugee Relief Organization.
We set up lemon water here.
The table in the front of the room. The flowers are from Trader Joe's.
I used purple wrapping paper for the table runner.
After the speaker, we did a book exchange. Each sister brought a wrapped gift, we sat in a circle, and we read a funny story with the words "left" and "right" in it. Each time "left" was said they passed their book to the left and then to the right when "right" was said. Then we all opened our new used books. It was great fun!
