Happy Birthday, Relief Society!

A lady in our stake who had seen the Women's Conference posters asked me to make a poster for their ward's Relief Society birthday dinner. (Well actually, my mom volunteered me! Haha, this happens when your mom knows everyone in town.) I finally stumbled on the idea of arranging the text in the shape of a cake, and it came together pretty quickly after that. Originally black & white, I like it much better in color.

(What is Relief Society? The organization for adult women in the LDS church for the past 168 years. We meet for an hour on Sundays for spiritual lessons and have occasional meetings during the week. Sometimes parties.)

UPDATE: With spring RS dinners rolling around again, and Pinterest traffic sending a few people to this long-neglected blog, I thought I ought to offer a blank version that you can fill in with your own info, so here you go!

Small & Simple Things

 I have this cousin, Kindle, and she's pretty amazing. When I started this blog, I said something about not wanting me to do your hair -- well, she is the one you want to do your hair. And makeup. And redecorate your house. And then her husband Ben can draw up your dream home blueprints while you're at it. They're so great, I love them to death, and I just finished up work on their blog header. 

Just a bit of backstory -- we went with a caning pattern because she reupholstered a couch with a similar pattern, only in black (you can see it in this post) and she thought that would be a neat element to include. A small detail, but it gives the header more meaning. I love little things like that. I had a lot of fun putting this one together -- thanks, Kindle!
