So, here's a fun little craft I did after church today for the awesome ladies Jessica and I visit teach. I mixed a few ideas I found on Martha and Lorie's blog. Lorie, btw, has the most informative fun blog, with easy craft and recipe ideas.... I highly recommend it. http://bedifferentactnormal.blogspot.com/
Using the Chinese takeout template found on Lorie's blog, I made three little containers with red ribbon handles and a Chinese zodiac
symbol on the front that was downloaded from the Internet. Easy.
Next, using the "felt fortune cookie" pattern found on Martha's blog, I made fabric fortune cookies. Unfortunately, I didn't have felt, so I used some cute Chinese patterned fabric, and double sided fusible webbing. It worked just fine. Each fabric fortune cookie was stuffed with a quote from the January VT message and a yummy chocolate Ferraro Rocher and voila! Perfect for tomorrow.
Isn't Scott a fabulous hand model?

Can you be MY visiting teacher? WOW! What an effort. I am proud of you.
If you were in our ward, you would have to make at least 6 of these for everyone on your list. :)
Those are darling! What a great idea. Thanks :)
You are so crafty - and motivated. I wish you lived here so then I could come over and do those things with you. Instead, I just stop at the store and buy things on my way to visiting teaching.
Those turned out way cute! Good job!
TOO CUTE!
I'll say it again, I wish you were my VT! So cute and creative!
Sometimes you leave me speechless. Seriously. You are amazing. I know that you think this was relatively simple, but I wouldn't know where to start even with your great and no fail directions. The VT quote inside the felt cookie, such a great idea. I hope your ladies love it!
You amaze me again, and again..
will you be my friend.
check the box yes or no.
Can I request you as my VT? Is that inappropriate? Very fun and cute!

Hey, and did you notice that I was taking Sam to Tae Kwon Do - that's Korean. It's the one activity we do in homage to you - it has NOTHING to do with the fact that it's right in our neighbourhood.
You're right. Scott IS a fabulous hand model!
