Etched

Tomorrow I'm in charge of a Relief Society meeting where the focus will be eating food, talking with friends, and making a craft. We do these once a month during the day. I've always participated (I am exceptionally good at eating and talking), and usually conducted, but never been in charge of the project.

Until now.

We're etching names and initials into the bottoms of our glass baking dishes. This seemed like an awesome idea when I thought someone else would be leading it. Now that I'm the one giving instructions, I'm kind of freaked out.

I did a trial run this afternoon. It turned out okay, but I think I can do better.

I thought our first initials would look cool lined up on the wall. I think being centered on the glass would class it up considerably.

Most online tutorials say to use vinyl for your stencil. I would love to do that, but it's simply not an option. So instead we're going to cut our own stencils into contact paper and use that. I'm pretty nervous about how the whole thing's going to go down.

I'm off to go try on an actual baking dish.

Wish me luck!
