'Sweet is the Work of Personal Progress' YWIE 2014

This past Sunday was my ward's Young Women in Excellence.

(this is a program in my church for young women ages 12-18 to celebrate 

what they've accomplished in the Personal Progress program throughout the year).  

Our theme was

"Sweet is the Work of Personal Progress"

(based off THIS IDEA).

I wanted to incorporate the Young Women Value colors as much as possible,

but couldn't find any digital papers that had all 8 together.

So I used one that had most of them to make my own invitations and printables.

Here's our invitation

(with our ward name crossed out for privacy)

And I made this printable to put in a frame for display.

(Print your own without the watermark HERE).

Here it is framed that night.

We purchased this YW Value Kiss Stickers printable for our take-away treat for the girls,
and printed off the poster in wallet size for the tags.

The girls wrote their names on these to put by their table displays.

(Print one without watermark HERE).

And this one was made to use for our programs.

One of our Beehives made cupcakes for our refreshments...

...and we also had candy in the YW value colors.

Everything turned out wonderful, 

and the girls really wowed us with their presentations!

2013 Young Women in Excellence {Stand in Holy Places}

I've been busy the last couple of weeks planning and preparing

 for our Young Women in Excellence 

(this is a program in my church for young women ages 12-18 to celebrate 

what they've accomplished in the Personal Progress program throughout the year).  

Our theme was "Stand in Holy Places". 

 Here's a rundown of few of the things we did.

I bought THIS IMAGE of a high heel shoe made from the 8 Young Women Values.  

We used it for our invitations, in our programs, and made cupcake toppers with it.  

Here's our invitations (I loved THIS INVITATION so much that I patterned ours after it!).

I didn't get any pictures of our cupcakes with the toppers (darn!), 

but here's a few other pictures from that night.

'Stand Ye in Holy Places' printable can be found HERE.

 Value printables can be found HERE.

Our gift to the girls was these cute paper high heels filled with Hershey's Kisses.  

They were a hit!! (and a LOT of work!)  

We also gave them each a temple recommend holder 

that says "Stand Ye in Holy Places"

A close up of the cute shoes...

The printable pattern for these shoes can be found HERE.

We've got a wonderful group of girls in our ward!  

It was fun to be able to have a night to celebrate them 

and all the wonderful things they are doing!
