I'm currently the volunteer Primary President, in charge of our church's children's organization - Sunday School instruction for young children ages 3-12. It can be challenging to coordinate the different teachers, classes, lessons, songs, and activities, but it is always rewarding!
Since this is the new year, the three-turning-four-year-old "Sunbeams" class is full of new and excited young ones who just graduated from the nursery (which is for the 18 months - 3 year old children). I made these shape cards, with a unique design for each youth, and wrote a welcome message for each child.
So no, I'm not going crazy. In this instance, talking to "Sunbeams" is perfectly normal!
The sunshine comes from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. I modified them in the Gypsy.
Peachy Keen Stamps finish these off perfectly! And I'm also entering this in their
Anything Goes challenge.
These cards fit perfectly inside of Emma's
3x3 Fancy Envelope Die. I love that thing, it is perfect for all my 3x3 notecards.
Incidentally, the class name of "Sunbeam" comes from both St. Matthew 5:16
("Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.") and their class song (lyrics below). What better group to represent these values than
3-and-4-year-olds?!

1. Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,
To shine for him each day;
In every way try to please him,
At home, at school, at play.
Chorus
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
A sunbeam, a sunbeam,
I'll be a sunbeam for him.
2. Jesus wants me to be loving
And kind to all I see,
Showing how pleasant and happy
His little one can be.
Repeat Chorus
