This is an exerpt from a message I sent out to our Primary subscribers after our recent Villager Newsletter.
2008 STICKERS! I just added beautiful new stickers to the store with the 2008 theme by Elsa Remund - I also added Super Singer Stickers with Melissa Carter’s cute designs which are on the third page of stickers.
Since the newsletter, I got some messages indicating there were missing files or corrupt files in the new material I have recently added to the Primary Knowledgebase and Music subscriptions.
I am so grateful when someone points this out to me, because I may never know otherwise. I saw that in every case, many people had tried to access these files unsuccessfully before someone finally pointed it out to me. I know it is an extra chore to send me a note, but if you find a mistake or problem, it would be so helpful if you would let me know. Kindly, I do appreciate a gentle notification. So thanks to those of you who let me know of the problems.
There was a missing lesson supplement attachment, and a missing substitute thank-you postcard attachment, both have been fixed. There was a corrupt pdf file that wouldn’t display - the 2008 Music Planner (for full Primary and Music subscribers) which I needed to replace. I am sure I have missed some other things, so let me know if you happen to notice anything.
Also, someone made a request I thought would benefit a lot of people, so I added it - in my 2008 Page-at-a-glance Outline, I make suggestions for songs for September-December, I’ve always done that, since the sharing time guide doesn’t list specific songs. But some people might want to choose their own songs for those months, so I added an alternate version with those months blank in both the Primary KB and the Music page.
I also wanted to point out that I have added some new resources or updated resources for lessons for 2008. There are lists of all the songs associated with the lessons - and for the Primary 4 (Book of Mormon) manual, I have added links to the song words at lds.org. There is a Book of Mormon reading program and some other helps added to the 2008 Lesson Helps for each manual you should check out.
I really appreciated an alternate December Sharing Time Idea sent in that I have added to the KB article I had already written. Your ideas are so valuable, and when you share, it benefits a lot of other people, so never hesitate to send in new material you have prepared, or ideas that have worked for you.
Thanks to everyone who sent in photos for the 2008 Monthly Primary Theme Posters. I was overwhelmed by the response to my request - so many sweet pictures! Since we cannot use all of them for the posters, I want to make a video or presentation with some of them - I will keep you informed about how that is going.
I had a lot of fun creating the 2008 Motivational Chart idea for the Music page. I have repeatedly looked for cute artwork of children in international costumes over the years, and I would always find one here and one there. So I bit the bullet and created a set of international paper dolls for this idea. At first I just had the different color cut outs, and then I did the clothes to go on them, but they looked funny without hair and faces - so I went back and added the hair and faces to the dolls, but now they looked like naked children, so I had to add a little jumper to each one. It was all a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy using this chart.
I was hunting the internet for a fun new idea for a 2008 music choose and review. I can’t even remember how I stumbled on it, but I saw a cootie catcher on some family website - and a rush of childhood memories came to me. I had to follow the instructions to make one after all these years, and I made marks on the paper so when I unfolded it, I could see where the various parts should go - then I designed a colorful SONG CATCHER in Adobe Photoshop, and it is just a lot of fun. There is one with all the 2008 CSMP songs and a blank one you can write your own songs on. And it will also work for a sharing time or lesson game if you want.
I want to make a special thank you to Amber Mock. She has been doing the lesson supplements for the CTR B manual for the past several months. She has earned free Download Depot art collections for helping this way - I just know her work is great and much appreciated by me and those who use the supplements.
Sorry this is so long. Thanks so much for your patronage.
God bless,
Debra
