And then in the morning you’d stub your toe and while you were [...]
Here is a tutorial for making your own YW Theme banners that your girls can hang in their room at home. Very easy to do and counts for Personal Progress! My Young Women enjoyed this activity very much, and even posed for photos! They are good sports.

We’re also looking for a good design for “be thou an example of believers” for youth conference.” So, I had [...]

What you need: a large piece of black foam core (the big black stiff boards you can get at any craft store) pink ribbon to match the theme letters spray adhesive (super 77 [...]
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.
