Normally, I don’t do Giveaways. But this week is an exception, and it’s a different kind of Giveaway. I’m calling it a Give-and-get. The normal Giveaway turns out like this: 1) Someone pays for something to be given away in the hopes that word will spread and people will use their product or service. 2) Everyone comments saying how great it is, how they can’t live without product/service and want [...]
Here is a tutorial on how to have your fabric banner ready-to-hang in 30 minutes (1 hour with the glue drying), without a sewing machine and for under $5. Great for a YW activity with the small personal banners. This is the method I used for my own theme shown here: Supplies for large banner (supplies are a little smaller for the small banners): 2 wooden dowels (8mm or 1/4 [...]
Last night after having to postpone the original night, we had New Beginnings. I thought I’d share the print I made for my YW that focuses on the YW General Presidency challenge to everyday Pray, Read and Smile. And now you can share it with your YW too!

For those of you who have been patiently waiting as I have for the YW General Presidency to announce the details for Virtue, you were as excited as I was this weekend to hear the official news!
So right away I went to work on the Virtue banner and have ordered a proof yard of fabric to ensure that everything is as it should be before I put the large order through and send it off to you.
In short, the 8 young womens value banners will be sent out mid March!

Have a banner that you’d like to show off? Leave a link in the comments below and share! This is one from Teresa: “Here’s what our MiaMaid advisor did to finish our banners! I think they’re so cute!”
When the fabric came back from the printers I realised that the themes were printed very close together which meant a little extra creativity was needed to hem the edges. But it’s a simple and easy fix so here’s how you do it: zig-zag the edges first, this helps prevent the fraying and makes it so you only need a small edge to turn under Iron the edge when you [...]
I really wasn’t sure what to call this freebie, but it’s a paper triangle that you put over a little electric tea candle, to make the paper glow. Emphasis on “electric” candle here. There is one for each value, Divine Nature is pictured above. We are using this for New Beginnings. Each girl carries her candle to the front of the room, talks about her value and then puts the [...]
