Super cute and simple craft for the YW to do. They can make these for their own homes or as a service to deliver to ladies in the ward or even as a fund raiser! This is really only cost effective if you get the canning bands donated or find a super deal on them at a thrift store, etc.

I found this idea HERE. To make these pumpkins, you simply paint the canning bands, string them together and add cinnamon sticks in the middle.

*You can get 3lb of cinnamon sticks on Amazon relatively inexpensively. Click HERE to see/purchase.

*Here's a GREAT color of spray paint from Amazon as well. You can do quite a few pumpkins with one can!

I LOVE this idea for adding lace to those cap-sleeved tees to wear under all of the sleeveless dresses/tops. Thanks, Cherie! Fantastic! What ideas do you have to help YW (and leaders!) be more modest? Share in the comments!

Amazon has quite a bit of lace.

There are now official Facebook pages for the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. The pages are maintained on their behalf by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Please share these with your youth!

Some of them can be a little tricky to find, so here are the links:

President Thomas S. Monson
President Henry B. Eyring
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Elder Russell M. Nelson
Elder Dallin H. Oaks
Elder M. Russell Ballard

I found this cute idea and just had to share!

These would be so cute to give the YW before they start school this fall.

In re-reading the YW Camp Guide, I noticed that it says this about selecting a theme:







A theme provides a focus for camp. A theme may be:

• A scripture
• A statement from a prophet
• A hymn
• The Young Women theme or the current Mutual theme

Even though I think it's important to have FUN at camp, I am committed to have a spiritual theme. We'll be using the current mutual theme, "Arise and Shine Forth." I believe this theme can be both fun and spiritual!

I also want to have activities to celebrate Young Women Camp's 100th birthday! 

What are you using for your theme? What are your ideas for celebrating the 100th birthday of camp? Here's a list of ideas from lds.org!
