LDS Decor

LDS Décor, a an online store that sells beautiful temple pictures. Recently, they approached me to do post on them , and that was very easy for me to do because I found that I already had one of their pictures hanging up on a wall of my house.  The combination of unique temple images, and their beautiful frames, creates an absolutely beautiful picture!  These frames are so georgeous they have been featured in movies, the White house, and hotels.  Go to  www.ldsdecor.com and you’ll be able to view all their temple images.  
LDS Décor sent me an example of their work and I was a bit afraid of the condition it would be in when it arrived.  I should not have worried because I could see how carefully LDSdecor package their pictures, to ensure that they arrive at their destination intact, without blemish and ready to hang up on the wall. It was as snug as a bug in a rug, if you get what I mean! They offer free s hipping in the USA and Canada but will ship all around the world as well, though you pay shipping.  There is also a 30 day, no questions asked guarantee on their products. 
LDS Décor is a new branch of a family owned company that has been manufacturing picture frames and other décor items since the 1980’s.  Their products can be found in homes throughout the world, as well as in galleries, museums, hotels, churches and also have been featured in magazines, movies, and television programs.  Their frames are all done by hand, except for the initial cutting, and are sanded, painted, leafed and decaled, creating a beautiful accent to already lovely temple art.

GIVEAWAY:  They are doing a giveaway right now and the winners are getting a temple necklace with the temple of your choice.  You just have to go to their facebook page and "Like" them, and leave a comment on their wall of what your favorite temple is.  Simple as that!

July 2012 Visiting teaching Message handout


This month's message is about Loving one another and becoming disciples of Christ.  I created this printable to be as a stand alone handout for you or your sisters or both, and if you want, you can frame it. (Keep the costs down, and go to a $1 store and find an 81/2 x 11 frame and put this in it)  I shared on my http://visitingteachingtips.blogspot.com my thoughts about this months message, and if you will go read it, you will see and understand more about this message. 

I picked the last verse of some poetry written by Edgar A. Guest, as it describes what I feel is the message of providing  humble service and the things we do don't need to be elaborate, expensive,  but we can show our love and friendship through "simple things", and become disciples of Christ in the process.

Feel free to copy this for yourself and the sisters you visit teach.  Enjoy, Katie G

You know what they say about old friends and antiques? They grow more valuable with time.

Glad that you dropped by my blog!

This blog and it's contents go hand in hand with my Visiting Teaching Tips and handouts blog found at http://visitingteachingtips.blogspot.com/ If you by accident get to this blog first, make sure to go back to the other one and see all that there is for you there. This is sort of my overflow or stroage blog because I can't keep everything there, so I add my creations to this storage unit and that is my Visiting Teaching Surprise for you. Sometimes however, I do put in things that I think you would enjoy even if they aren't specifically related to Visiting Teaching, but my vision in life is that if I take all the time to make things, I may as well share them and get more use out of them. Sorta like hand me downs but brand new "Down loads". I hope you enjoy these freebies. Drop me a note to say hello in the comments under the downloads posts.
