YWIE

This past month has flown by as I've been busy with different things for my calling in Young Women's. We just recently had our Evening of Excellence.

Seeing how I'm pretty good about stalking other YW leaders blogs for ideas, I thought I'd be nice and share what we came up with(it is a compilation of a few different ideas).

The theme was "Seeds of Excellence". About a month before the event we gave each of the girls their own terracotta pot with a letter describing how they were to present what they worked on this past year. We asked that they come up with one project or value experience they had completed and decorate their pot to represent that.

At one point during the program they each came up to present their finished pots. They all planted seeds in different YW values and it was evident they were proud of their accomplishments.

I'm all about simplifying! The girls pots were the decorations, I asked other people to speak, and Basha's made these awesome sugar cookies to go milk for refreshments. I think it was a success!
