Here is the June VT handout. I thought with it now being summer that this “Bee” theme would fit perfectly. Because we need to “Bee” better Visiting teachers.

May 2012 Visiting Teaching Handout
Here is the May Visiting Teaching Handout.
The message should come from one of the conference talks of your own choosing. So I decided that since it was the month of May that I would put “May” we let ourselves be Blessed with the talks from Conference. (Get it?!)
I just stuck this card in a cute little potted plant that you can find anywhere right now. But if you want to do something else with flowers, you could do sugar cookie flowers, Oreo Cookie Flowers, fresh cut flowers or paper flowers!
Here is the printable, just right click and go to copy. Open your favorite program like Word or Presentations and right click again and go to paste. Print and cut out.
Happy Visiting this month!
April 2012, VT Message: Love, Watch Over and Strengthen
The message for this month is a great message to teach us all how to be better visiting teachers, but for the message to give your sisters I chose to concentrate on the title, “Love, Watch Over and Strengthen”. It is a great message for anyone and this title exemplifies what we should be doing in the church!
I included the 9 different steps to help us be better sisters on the flower petals.
To print, right click on the image and go to copy. Open your favorite program like Word or Presentations. Right click again and go to paste. You can re-size to any size. I printed mine in 4″ x 6″. I like to print on photo paper or glossy card stock paper.
March Visiting Teaching Handout
This month the message is titled “Daughters in My Kingdom” and it has a great message about how we are daughters of our Father in Heaven. He knows us, loves us, and has a plan for us.
How wonderful the world would be if everyone knew just this one eternal principle! So my handout this month is titled: “Lucky Me – I know:”
February Visiting Teaching-Guardians of the Hearth
The message this month is another great one. I feel like I say that every month but this one is so important to us today. The family is on attack so much by the world that it is sometimes hard to remember how important our role as mothers are. I love the quote by President Hinckley where it says: ” No other work reaches so close to divinity as does the nurturing of the sons and daughters of God.” This is so true yet we forget it so often! We sometimes say that we are just a mom, and yet as a woman that is one of the most divine callings that we can have! I love how Sister Barbara Thompson also states that you do not have to be a mom to nurture others, you have a responsibility to nurture all those in your family and even if you were the only living member of your family, you are still a member of God’s family.
For the handout this month I concentrated on the quote from Pres. Hinckley:
Here is an idea that I did to go with this tag:
Come back tomorrow and I will show you how to make Chocolate Dipped Oreo Flowers!
Jan 2012 VT Message
The message for this month is titled “Watchcare and Ministering through Visitiing Teaching” I love the quote by President Monson about, how small acts of service are all that are required to lift and bless some one else. We do not have to do big, grand things, but it is our small acts that bless others!
So this is the quote that I used for this months handout:
To print, just right click on the image, go to copy, then open your favorite program like word or presentations, right click again and go to paste. Then you can print it the way it is or you can re-size it to whatever size you want,
Because it is winter time here in Utah, (even though we have had very little snow this year!) I decided to tie this message to a snowman cupcake!
I love this idea, that I found on pinterest on how to package a cupcake in a clear 9 oz cup, then put into a clear bag and tie with a ribbon! How cute is that? You could also tie a plastic spoon to the package if you wanted to.
This idea is also a cute thank you idea…Thank you “snow” much!
Come back tomorrow for a super idea on how to frost your cupcakes with no mess! I’m serious! I tried it today and it works like a charm. So stayed tuned…
December VT Handout
I love the message this month on how important EVERY sister is and how we influence so many around us! I think that sometimes we forget how wonderful we are!
This month’s handout is a card to print, you can use it as a refrigerator magnet, a tag to tie on some goodies, (like my fudge) or make it into a card etc.
To print, just right click and go to copy. Then open your favorite program like Word and right click again and go to paste. This is a 4 x 6 card. This has also been formatted to send to your favorite photo processing center and they can print it as a picture. (I send mine to Costco and they are only 16 cents each!)
Happy Visiting this Month!
November Visiting Teaching Conference Bookmark
This month for visiting teaching you will pick a talk from the conference Ensign, so for the handout, I decided to do a bookmark.
You can use it two ways. It has a paper clip at the top so you can clip it to the page you want to save, or if you are cross referencing or studying two different talks, you can take the paper clip off and use it on another page, like this…
I cut a slit in the top of the bookmark to insert the paper clip. Tie a couple of ribbons on the paper clip to make it a little cuter :) I think that ribbon makes everything cuter! Some day I will show you my ribbon stash!
I had Alphagraphics print my bookmarks on a heavy, glossy cardstock and it cost me 69 cents! I have put 4 book marks on one 81/2 x 11 sheet, so there should be enough for you to have one too!
To print, just right click and go to copy, then open your favorite program, like Word, then right click again and go to paste. Or you can send it to your favorite copy center like I did.
Here is the free printable for you to use:
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
We hope your family like ours, continues to have more to be thankful for each year!
Oct. VT Message
I thought that the message this month was so good, that I wanted to incorporate the whole thing into this month’s handout. I came up with this cute library pocket holding 3 tags with the message, “If We Do Not Doubt”. It is tradition in our house to make chocolate, carmel apples to take for a treat in Oct. I will be doing that again this year, but I will post the how-to on the apples later! So just imagine that this is given with an apple tied up with a cute ribbon!
You need to cut out the library pocket, the 3 tags and the front panel. Fold the library pocket and the flaps. Do not worry about the line across the front of the card, it will be covered up with the front panel.
Fold the flaps to the back of the pocket.
And glue or use double sided tape to hold the flaps down.
Next, glue or tape the front panel on.
Punch a hole in the top of the three tags and tie together with some cute ribbon.
And there you have it! Like I said, I will give this with a carmel apple, but you could also just insert a candy bar into the pocket!
Here are the printables for this month. Just right click on your mouse and either copy and paste into your favorite program, or just click print picture. The two printable pages are in 81/2 x 11 format.
Happy Visiting!
Sept VT Handout
Here is a handout for your visiting teaching sisters with a quote from Elder M. Russell Ballard. You can use it as a fridge magnet or as a tag to go along with a goodie. I sent mine to Costco to be printed and they were 13 cents each! They are 4 x 6
