A few of you might have noticed the link at the bottom of this blog for Worldwide Breast Cancer. This is a design project I’ve been working on for several years to improve the way information about breast cancer is presented (it’s part of my PhD). Since Breast Cancer Awareness Month is coming up, I thought I’d share a poster from my collection (visit http://lemonland.imagekind.com/breastcancer to see more): I’m also [...]
After many requests to make the YW Values and Theme available as posters—in addition to the fabric ones on my Etsy shop—I’ve made them available through Imagekind. You can order posters from size 6 x 10″ up to 36 x 60″. These work out to be a little more than the fabric prints, but offer more flexibility in size. Here’s where you can find them: http://mormonmodern.imagekind.com/yw and as always, the [...]
I learned a great lesson a few weeks ago: Have one strong message that takes most of the lesson and they’ll remember it. This was discovered during the lesson on scripture study. I gave them the handout and quizzed them on each step. I’d point to someone and shout out “step #4!” and she’d say “ponder!”. The girls enjoyed the game and can you believe the next week they still [...]
So last week I did a little experiment to see what percentage of people that downloaded the Book of Mormon Reading Chart would leave a comment. 16% was the result! 84% of you were ghosts downloading the chart last week. Spooky! So don’t be shy, say hello! Share your favorite activity, how many young women you have, where you’re at, or how long you’ve been in Young Womens. It’s good [...]
For Valentine’s this year, I used the YW General Presidency message for the YW printed on pink and red paper (lesson #5). But why limit warm fuzzy messages for just February? Download the message here. If you download it, leave a comment. How long have you been in Young Womens?
In January I posted some opening exercises cards for Young Womens to match the YW Theme banner and scripture I designed. I had a few comments from some readers to switch the order of the opening exercises cards. Well here it is! Thanks for the suggestion Melissa! Original: conducting > announcements > hymn > prayer > theme > scripture > lesson Alternative: conducting > hymn > prayer > theme > [...]
Thanks to a lovely suggestion from a reader, I’ve designed a Book of Mormon reading chart. This isn’t your traditional chart, it’s a massive flower with each pedal representing a chapter in the Book of Mormon. Yep, that image above is what the finished chart looks like! Fun huh? Same rules apply as always for using this: 1) leave a comment saying where you’re from! 2) use it and respect [...]
Here is a handout that I gave to my girls last week on scripture study. I also printed out the value bookmarks for the new girls that arrived after New Beginnings (I gave out the bookmarks at New Beginnings, also available in Spanish). Hope it adds that extra bit of oomph to your already wonderful lesson. There’s a preview above, but be sure to click on the pdf link below [...]
In an effort to make postings on this blog more regular, I’m introducing Mormon Modern Mondays. Every Monday I will (try to) post something new. So if you haven’t already, add this blog to your rss reader, because there’s a whole lot of goodness headed your way! This week I’d like to know what lesson # you are on for YW. I’m wanting to post the lesson handouts I make [...]
Over the last few years I’ve been working on turning Heber J. Grant’s beautiful handwriting into a font. Here is a preview.
