Amy's marvelous watercolor - the boy in the middle grew up to be her husband |
Still, I was able to see the displays and talk to people, and take lots of pictures which worked out great.
We have some wonderful talents among the sisters in our Ward (congregation)!
Ashleigh gave a presentation on photography |
The Force is strong with this one! |
I love this little boy - the light saber is bigger than he is, and the beard just makes this picture even better! |
The young Jedi warriors using their powers for good |
My photos of Ashleigh's photos - that sounds strange! - don't do them justice at all. They were beautiful.

Jessica's children's book illustration |
I had no idea that Jessica painted. Her delightful primitifs were such fun to see. They have actually been published in her brother's children's book.

Amy's watercolor work in progress |
I'm a huge fan of Amy's work (see the first piece of this post). I think she needs to do more! I'm so thrilled to see her working on this new piece (above).
I understand Amy did a presentation on how to work with watercolors before I arrived, which I would have loved to have attended.
Photography |
I did catch a bit of Ashleigh's presentation on photography, though. I love her photos of her boys. I also love these photos of the babies.
We learned the tricks of how to take these kind of pictures without hurting the newborn! |
What a fun evening. The theme of the program was from Timothy: Neglect Not the Gift That Is In Thee. Not a bad thing to remember. Everyone has gifts and talents that enrich our lives and make the world brighter.
Perhaps "Neglect Not the Gift That Is In Thee" is a good idea for a goal this year.
What do you think?
What gifts have you been given by our Heavenly Father? How might the further expression of that gift or gifts make your life happier and more fulfilled?

This was a great evening! I was there for the first 45 minutes and had to leave. Did you know Jessica does cakes too? Amazing sisters in our ward!!!
What a fun activity! It's neat to see everyone's talents.
I really want to learn how to watercolor, that is on my list of 52 things to do in 52 weeks (so this year.) Guess I'd better get on that!
