March Visiting Teaching Message

The Visiting Teaching Message this month is

Daughters in My Kingdom.

"We are daughters of our Father in Heaven.

He knows us, loves us, and has a plan for us.

Part of that plan includes coming to earth to learn to choose good over evil.

When we choose to keep God's commandments, we honor Him and acknowledge our identity as daughters of God."

I thought it would be fun this month to celebrate our royal heritage with a crown.

I found the crown template at this site, and included the Visiting Teaching message on the back.

To make your own "Daughters in My Kingdom" crown, you will need an 8 1/2x11 sheet of heavy paper like cardstock.  I cut down a 12x12 sheet.  I looked for paper with a little sparkle, because it felt more princessey.  {I used the paper "Lost and Found" by Jen Allyson from Hobby Lobby} Also, if you choose a double-sided sheet, make sure that it is plain enough {and light enough} on the back so that when you print the message, it shows up.

Print the Message, then cut and attach the strip of paper under the crown with staples or tape or brads for the back.

If you are feeling a little more crafty, you can print this tag and stick it to the front.

...and if you are feeling really crafty, you can add a few jewels...

...but if you are feeling really, REALLY crafty, you can go nuts and add ribbon, lace, little twirly things or whatever.

{If you want to use ribbon to fit the crown, use a hole punch to punch a hole in each end {where the black dots are on the back}, then glue the middle of the ribbon to the front and push the ends through the holes and pull the ribbons till tight}

Happy Visiting Teaching!
