This year I’m offering the scripture theme as a free download. The scripture theme matches the fabric Young Womens large theme and Young Womens Value Banners in my Etsy shop. You can also purchase them as posters here. As always leave a comment saying where you’re from as a thank you! While I’m offering it for free, the copyright still remains with me, so please enjoy but don’t copy or [...]
I just did a few posters for the stake and thought I’d make this one a freebie. If you have a Stake Youth Conference coming up, feel free to download and customize the details for your own event. Preview is below, click here for the high resolution version to use. Don’t forget to leave a comment if you download it and say what you’d like to see next on my [...]
I recently got an email from a lovely YW leader asking if she could send me photos of the banners her girls made. Yes of course! And these are absolutely darling, the little flowers add such a nice touch. Here are photos from their activity, so I thought I’d share with the rest of you: As a side note, one of my Young Women told me that this summer when [...]
I cannot praise the Church enough for getting their youth programs online. The new youth.lds.org is full of great information that the youth and we leaders can download, print and share, based around this year’s theme of Be Strong. If you haven’t seen it, forget my blog and have a look. If you’re still here, here’s the highlights to look for: On the homepage is a slideshow of large images. [...]
Still on Christmas break, but had a little time to write. I thought in this post, I’d speak as a designer and give my ‘design review’ of the new YW Personal Progress visuals (not the content). And also to give a shout-out to the designer as I’m sure trying to please a committee of women and general authorities must have required a miracle. Designing by committee is a very tough [...]
No one tells you how hard Young Womens is, especially the part where they release you from your calling. I’ve had a lot of callings over the years, but none that I shed tears over after it was done (shedding tears during, that is another issue). Seriously, did my leaders ever cry when they got released from working with me as a youth? I hope so, if only it means [...]
Hey I’ve just added the 2010 YW Scripture to my etsy shop. It comes free with every YW Theme banner purchase. And it also matches the YW value banners. BTW, the YW Value Banners sold out last year due to YW in Excellence and New Beginnings. If you order your value banners before December 1 you’ll get a free 2010 scripture with it for returning customers to update last year’s [...]
I chose to base the lesson on the supplemental talk given by Susan W. Tanner, “The Sanctity of the Body”. First of all because I thought it fit my girl’s needs better and two, I’m not a trained fitness coach and didn’t want to give the girls a jumprope test to point out who was more fit than the other! I also borrowed from the Doctrines of the Gospel institute [...]
While preparing for the Lesson on Living Righteously Amid Pressures, I came across Elder Cook’s lesson on Living by Faith and Not by Fear. The scripture he shares has always been one of my favorites, so I made it into a bookmark. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Tim. 1:7 Now you too can [...]
For the next two weeks I’m going to be busy writing my PhD design thesis, round II. It’s a 350 page monster and I’m determined to make it tame. Because of that I will be doing lighter posts for a bit! So the thing I wanted to share this week is the impact a sleepover can have on Young Women. We had a sleepover on the same night of the [...]
