LDS Super Saturday
At church my assigned job is to be in charge of all the fun activities for the women in Relief Society. We do mini groups throughout the month: cooking groups, exercise groups, playdate groups, things like that. Then every other month we have a BIG activity at night with a theme. So far I have done a “Getting to Know You” social, “Food Storage Night” and “Celebrating Spring” where we did classes on gardening, cooking with your summer vegetables and nutrition.
THEN every year some branches of the Church do what is called…or in my case USED to be called… LDS Super Saturday. Usually it is done right before the holidays and lots of the women use it to make gifts or decor for the upcoming holidays. Most of the time, it is held on a Saturday and is 3-4 hours of CRAFTS!
So this is what I have been very busy working on for weeks. Luckily I have a committee of 10 ladies which makes it nice. AND this is the plan: to try and get good numbers to come out by appealing to everyone.
We made a trendier name that appeals to everyone in the neighborhood, those who are members of the church or not, those who like to come to church or who don’t.
Also, let’s be honest. Not all of us are into crafts…or the same TYPES of crafts. So we are doing five free classes AND projects that I *hope* appeal to mostly everyone. Because you can’t make everyone happy…especially that ONE lady in the hallways at church 
I wanted to invite everyone in the neighborhood. All the samples are on display every Sunday in the church building, but hey, some of us are allergic to church buildings. So I helped put together this brochure that is being delivered this week to the entire neighborhood.
SO I wanted to show you all, just in case you ever are in charge of anything like this:
The cover looks the exact same as that poster image earlier in this post. It also has these three pages along with it:
Also all these graphics were made by my lovely 9 month pregnant friend Quinn Curtis of Lime Light Food Photography. Of course, I used white out on some things since I’m posting this online.
AND a lot of the projects are done by my neighbor, the owner of Poppy Seed Projects.
Have you ever done anything like this? Any tips for me?

What a fun activity! The brochure is beautifully done. Kudos to Quinn. And Kudos to YOU for putting together such a great event!
Holy crap, girl! I’ve never seen a brochure for Super Saturday. That’s above and beyond! Looks great and I love the overall look. Quinn does an awesome job as do you!
Well, this looks and sounds fantastico!! Have extra helpers – some people order too much and needed help. We had to schedule a makeup/finish up day a couple of weeks later for some ladies to get their projects done. I am coming!!
Well I don’t live in Utah, so I can’t attend. But I really want to now how to make the magnet picture board and where I could buy the materials for it. Could I just go to Michaels or a place like that to get the materials?

Go to that link at the bottom of the post, that one is by poppyseed projects and they ship.
Holy cow! Your super saturday is the superestest I have ever seen.
Wow, I wish I was in your ward! We only have enrichment every 3 months and we’ve never done a craft (not that, that is the point of enrichment, but everyone once in a while…even once a year would be fun). Looks like you’ve been hard at work, but I bet it will be a really fun night.
I want to come!! I have the same calling but I was told no crafts because people don’t like to take home junk, NICE!!! So the only crafting they say we can do is quilting, BLAH!! Looks like you have been working hard, I hope it turns out great.
Looks like a wonderful day. Wish I could be there. I know how much work this is. I know the ladies will love it. You go girl
This looks like the most amazing event!!! I have never seen a super Saturday with so much to offer!! I hope you blog about how it goes as well! I love the Pizza Pan Craft!
Looks like a great time! You are such an amazing enrichment leader! Great projects and Quinn’s design is oh so cute!
how can i get in touch with the bead fairy to have her come to our super saturday?
I really want to know how to make the magnetic puzzles. That is a great idea! I looked at the links below but none of them have to do with the puzzles. Please give me the info!
I would also really like to know how to make the magnetic puzzles… Would you be willing to share? What a GREAT idea! Thanks
[...] it *ahem* most of the time. Hee hee, no really. I do, I do. I am in the midst of planning another Super Saturday so right now is not a good time to ask me if I like my calling. Ask me in a couple of months and [...]
