The Stake asked me to decorate for their Standards night this year. The theme was 'Testimonies & Tiaras.' They needed the gym decorated and they specifically said they wanted the 'Wow Factor.' This assignment scared me to death because I have never been in charge of decorating anything big. I have assisted, but never been in charge. I formed a committee which included the same ladies I did the Vegas party with, Becca, Cami and Kendall. We have so much fun together and we work well together. I also got a lot of help from other friends and family. Thank goodness for friends and family! This project was very time consuming but so much fun. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to decorate with pink and tutus!!
I didn't do the food, but it was so pretty I had to take pictures!! I loved these lips Straws too.
The program was AWESOME! This event was about missionary work. They talked about how preparing for a Mission and preparing for a pageant has some 'Strinking' similarities. They had video clips from a pageant coach giving advice for pageants. Each of the Sister Missionaries walked down the runway to music. They each had a sash with the state they are from. They had to answer questions, just like girls do in pageants. There were so many cute things they did to tie in the pageant theme. It was so much fun!! When all was said and done I was glad that I was given the opportunity to be a part of such an incredible event!
Cami made all of these black frames. We framed a picture and a quote from each of the Sister Missionaries serving from our Stake. There were 16!
Me and my Committee, minus Cami Dean. During the program Heidi Parker had us come up. She thanked us for our hard work and 'crowned' us!
