Value Colors

For our Laurel Class activity this week we made Crayon Art. The girls all did so well and they turned out soooo cute. We thought it would be a fun thing for the girls to display at Evening of Excellence. Michaels has a 10-pack (8x10 canvases) for $19.99.  I used a 50% off coupon making them $1.00 Each. Because it is back to school time most stores have crayons on sale! We found ours at Walmart 

they were $0.50 for a 24 pack. Total cost $1.50

Such a cute craft to showcase the YW value colors!

1- layout pattern of crayons

2- Hot glue gun crayons to canvas

3- We placed our canvas in a cardboard box in case the crayon splattered. Put it upright with a slight angle so the wax can melt down.

4- With hair dryer on HOT and LOW setting hold about 4'' away from crayons keeping hairdryer in motion across small section of crayons. 

5- Crayons start to melt. Melt to desired pattern or look.

 You can find a million tutorials on youtube! It was a quick, easy, and fun activity. 

Youth Fireside {AL FOX}

Back in May we were blessed with the opportunity to hear from Sister Al Fox. In April she was Featured in LDS Living Magazine (click to read full article)  . She came and spoke to our youth for a fireside. Her Message was so beautiful and sincere. She is an amazing example of courage and conviction. She talked about not giving up and to always TRY!!
From an article in the Deseret News (click to read full article)
"I had to make a decision. And it's a decision I have to make every day. One you have to make every day. Several times a day. And what that is, to choose to get mad. Choose to get offended. Bothered. Confused. Or ... not.

The decision to keep going. The decision to be happy and follow the Spirit and counsel given ... or not. Choose to have faith. Choose to trust. Or not. What it came down to, and what it always will come down to, is choose God. Or not."

You can read more about her and her story HERE  She also has several youtube videos HERE that are Amazing!!

Girls Camp 2013

Sorry for the lack of posts. My Computer kinda went kapoot. But I have the new one up and running (: We had girls camp last month. It was such a fun week. it's a great excuse to kind of "unplug" from the world. It was Stake camp this year and the theme was Rise-up I'll be what he wants me to be. We were excited because it went so well with our wards 2013 theme Adventure awaits. Each ward was a different Value & Color. We were Faith-White. The stake all had the same hoodies but we decided our ward wanted t-shirts as well. They turned out really cute!
This was the Back. I like to design shirts that I feel the girls can wear again without it screaming GIRLS CAMP!!

For one of our crafts we had the girls paint their own Hot Dog sticks. They loved it! 

We also made several different headbands to make our camp hair cute! They all turned out so cute. I forgot to take pictures of the head bands at camp but luckily I had a cute lil model at home! I found a tutorial at CraftinMechanic

We also had the girls decorate pillowcases with sharpies. It went with our PJ devotional one night. 

Come Follow Me (MAY) How can I strengthen my testimony?

(I am attaching a cute little anchor bracelet to this handout. I will post a picture when I have the bracelet complete).

A digital Fast

I am challenging my YW and all the leaders this month to have one day a week that they have a digital fast. To go along with our "UP" themed year. I am calling it Turn it Down so you can Listen Up.  We'll see how it goes(:

Conference Polish

I like to take a little "treat" to my YW over Conference weekend. Just so they know that I am still thinking about them (:

I found the nail polish at Target for $0.84, Cheaper than the dollar store and way cuter color selection!

 For those that used our Adventure awaits theme...

 Here is a slightly different handout without the UP theme

{Come follow Me} March Lesson: Faith in Jesus Christ

You could attach this to a Powerbar or a bottle of Crush Soda

Popcorn Bar

 We had our YW girls Camp Kick off last night. It is a night we introduce the Stake camp theme, and our ward value & Color. This year we are Faith (WHITE). I've been wanting to do a popcorn bar ever since I saw one HERE The white popcorn would be perfect for our ward and popcorn is so cheap! Even better! The girls LOVED making their own little bags of popcorn. It was so fun, alittle messy but FUN!

I found all the seasonings at Walmart by the popcorn. Each little 3oz bottle of seasoning filled 2 salt shakers. I found the salt shakers at the dollar store and it came in a 2 pack for $1. The seasonings I bought were Ranch, Butter, White Cheddar, Garlic Parmesan, and Kettle Corn. I also mixed up some cinnamon sugar.
For mix-ins I just bought random things that I had a coupon for or were on sale. Sweet tart jelly beans, m&m's, oreos, honey roasted peanuts, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, mike & Ikes, etc...

A&K wedding Details

Jane and I just finished decorating for a wedding reception. It turned out beautiful!

 This was outside where the guests came in. I love the little reception crossroad sign

 Cute little Candy bar.

 This was my favorite thing about this reception. The cake stand. To say I was obsessed would be an understatement. I love how it turned out. They had 7 cakes and every 1/2 hour they would cut another cake to serve.

 This was in the lobby where the line was

 Isn't this the cutest little sign in table?

 The bride and groom love books. We tried to incorporate them into the wedding decor. I love how this little stack of books turned out.

 Jane whipped up this amazing chalkboard for their menu. Too cute

 Love the vintage feel of the babies breath. such a light delicate flower perfect in the baskets.

 This was the gift table. The suitcase is where guests could put their cards.

 another cute grouping

I thought the fireplace and mantle turned out so romantic.
