Here is Jodee Burnham's cookie recipe from last Tuesday.
1 box of your favorite flavor cake mix
2 eggs
1 cube butter or margarine melted
1 cup of vanilla chips or whatever you like in cookies
Mix the first 3 ingredients.
Add chips. Bake @ 350 for 12 minutes.
Jodee says fifteen minutes top to bottom. I love time savers! Thanks, Jodee!

Long Time No Blog
Wow! I can't believe it has been so long since I updated our information. Sorry!
Summer has come and gone along with all that it brings. Fall brings a little more schedule and order to my life and maybe your's, too.
Thank you for supporting our activity with the Spanish branch. I felt a special spirit there. I hope you did, too. We hope to form lasting friendships with these sisters.I had a special blessing that came from this activity. The next night, Wednesday, I was subbing at the temple. I was trying to do a certain job in Spanish for the first time. Lo and behold, the very first person who came to me was Sister Juarez from the Spanish branch. She gave me a big hug and was very encouraging to me as I stumbled through with the Spanish. Almost every person who needed Spanish that night had been in our ward the night before. It was awesome.
This coming Saturday the annual Relief Society Broadcast will be available to us at the stake center, starting at 6:00. We should be in our seats a little early. There will be light refreshments after. We are setting up a display for this about some of our extra meetings. If any of you took pictures last Tuesday, I could sure use them! Please let me know if you have some. I forgot my camera.
"I NEVER MEANT TO BE A WITCH...CONFESSIONS OF AN UNBALANCED WOMAN" will be the topic for our extra meeting to be held on October 12th. We will be learning about depression, compulsion, and obsessive behaviors. If you have these problems or know someone who does, this meeting will provide some insight and help. 7:00 in the Relief Society Room
A children's class will be provided.
Quilt Group will be this Tuesday (21st) at Dixie's house at 7:00. This is a fun group of sisters and all are invited. Sisters, I would like to borrow lots of quilts for our display on Saturday, if possible.
Apron Class
Thursday, the 23rd we will be meeting at the church at 6:30 to make aprons. This is a cute project and can be made out of "boy" fabric as well as for little girls.
You need to bring general sewing supplies, including:
Sewing machine
extention chord
scissors
marking pencil
pins
Large ruler, if you have one
rotary cutter & cutting mat, if you have them available.
The following fabric amounts are needed, depending on what size you are making:
children's small * 1/2 yard of each of two contrasting prints. (or one yard if you want it all the same.)
12" of 1/2" elastic
children's medium * 1/2 yard of one fabric
5/8 yard of contrasting fabric
14" of 1/2" elastic
Children's large * 5/8 yard of one fabric
1 yard of contrasting fabric
15" of 1/2" elastic
Thread to match
Optional: 2 buttons
For the adult size you need:
1 1/6 yard if the fabric is not directional.
1 yard contrasting fabric
24" 1/2" elastic
thread to match
optional * 2 buttons
If anyone wants to buy the pattern, it is available at the Quilt Barn and the Gathering Place.I am sure you can find it online as well. We will have measurements there for you to cut your fabric pieces, but will not have patterns themselves. It is illegal to copy these. We will go through the process step by step. There will be several of us helping, so hopefully you can move at your own pace and finish your apron. You will not have time to make more that one Thursday night.
On the 28th of October we will be making childrens' basic pajamas.McCall, Butterick, Simplicity have their patterns on sale at the Twin Fabric stores often for 99 cents. I bought some last week for 89 cents. Please do not go pay a lot for your pajama patterns.I will post a picture of the kind we are teaching on this night. Also, Walmart has some patterns on a rack that are economy patterns. I will put more information here on this blog as we get closer.
Sisters, you are wonderful women. You do so much to help your families, one another, and the other people in your lives.Have a good week & hope to see you Tuesday, Thursday, if possible & desired, & for sure on Saturday!

I put a link to the Word of Wisdom Diet Blog on the right side of this blog near the link to lds.org.
Word of Wisdom Diet Blog
Thanks Jami & Scott for the inspiring words in sacrament meeting yesterday! I needed it. I am in the worst shape of my life & have been trying to get motivated. I appreciated the humor. It truly spurred me on. I've been working on getting in shape for a while, but it seems like drudgery & I slip & fall. I am sure I will slip again, but yesterday I felt that the key to success is to make it fun.Another key is always to get back up and start again.
So, I made myself go on a walk for a full hour this morning. Unfortunately, I waited until it was too hot for me. (I don't do heat.) So I am sitting here sweating profusely. It's my own fault. Tomorrow I will go earlier. While I was walking, in preparation for the lesson on Sunday, I was listening to the Miracle of Forgiveness on my ipod. I love President Kimball. He always tells it like it is. (I think he probably still does in heaven, so I am stating this in present tense.) ANYWAY, in listening to him I got what I think is a great idea. (You can tell how well I was concentrating.) I am going to start a Word of Wisdom Diet Blog. Any sister who would like to participate may do so. The purpose will be to inspire, share ideas, funny stories,& proud moments with each other. There will be no pressure, only encouragement. I am sending an email on CC's and will explain the rules. If you know someone who would like to participate but is not on the internet, we can somehow figure out a way to share with them. This has to be private for it to work for all of us, so only those who email me and agree to keep it private will have the password to log on to the blog. There is to be NOOOOO sharing the site with husbands, etc. We will respect each other's feelings and privacy. There will not be sharing of weight unless you do it on your own. Anyway, if you want to join in the fun, email me. Again, this blog will not in anyway represent the church or the ward. It is sponsored by me.

Aprons
We will be making the children's aprons in September. Watch for a sign-up sheet. Marcy bought the same pattern in an adult size. We will do them at the same time if there is interest. Watch for the sign-up sheet for that, too. Even if you have already signed-up it doesn't hurt to put your name down twice to make sure you get a call.
Quilt Group
Quilt group will be meeting on Tuesday, July 20th at 7:00 pm. I am thinking that it is at Dixie's house. I'll post an update if that is not correct. We have a great group. I finally have mine cut out and am going to have a block done, do or die!
This a fun group. You don't get yelled at if you haven't done anything. If you did, I'd be in trouble.
