Tagged...

I have been tagged by my friend Jenny.

Rules....post the sixth picture from the sixth folder in your picture files. Tell the story behind it.

So here it is...

These are my Young Women. I work with them at church. I am one of their leaders. We have a program called Personal Progress which is similar to the Boy Scout program. They work on goals that help them develop life skills and strengthen their relationship with God. After they complete all of the requirements they receive their Young Womanhood Medallion that is equivalent to an Eagle Scout.

We have a special night dedicated to them and some of the things they have accomplished over the year. This year I had the bright idea of teaching the girls how to sew. So I found a relatively easy pattern and we helped the girls make these darling skirts. It was a lot of work but well worth it. Aren't they so cute!

Now I'm supposed to tag six more people...so I tag Amy Samps, my Tia Ana, my east coast buddy Liz, Meghann, Leah F, and my partner in adoption drama Erin.
