Atlanta Temple Celebration!

The Time has come! President Thomas S. Monson will be coming to Georgia next month to re-dedicate our beautiful Atlanta Temple.


This is what it used to look like, after 28 years of service they closed it down for some time, and renovated the temple. It looks quite a bit different now, but I don't have a picture of it yet! We are so excited to have it open again.

As part of this exciting time President Monson contacted Atlanta and personally requested a Special Youth Cultural Celebration to be held the evening before the dedication.  Not all dedications are given the opportunity to perform for the prophet. We feel so blessed and are really excited!

I, Natalie, was then asked to help make the COSTUMES for our youth to participate in their dance portions of the celebration! Whoa, it is a large undertaking considering there are 41 youth, but I am so excited to be apart of this historic event. I feel so grateful to be given an opportunity to indirectly serve the prophet of the Lord.


So for the next two months I will be making Salsa skirts and Revolutionary War Solider costumes. Wish me luck, and if anyone in the Chattanooga area wants to help sew, you are welcome to help!

Update on shoes

For those who asked the shoes are available at

http://joyfolie.com/

Well, they aren't actually available...but you can look at the shoes here and feel totally deprived at what you can't have! (No I'm not upset or anything!)

Oh, the things that make our mouths water....

So, I LOVE LOVE LOVE these little girl boots.
They are so cute! scarlet fabric, slip-ons with ribbon ties in the back.
The only problem is you can't buy them! They are handmade and the lady sales out in seconds of posting her products each week.
Oh how my heart aches. One day Lorelei you will have super cute boots, one day, when you can walk!



Sitting here, just totally jealous of all the little girls walking around in these boots....
