YW In Excellence

For one of my value projects I put on this year's YW in Excellence.  I has so much fun planning and preparing for it!! 
Our theme was "Our YW Values Help Prepare us for the Temple" About a month ago, we had a mutual activity where the girls chose women in our ward who represented the different values.  Last week we took them a goodie plate and told them why we chose them.  We have some pretty amazing women in our ward. 
For the program, we asked a few of them to speak on the different values. 
For dessert we had Cheesecake with different toppings which were all the Young Women Value Colors:

Faith {white} = Whipped Cream
Divine Nature {blue} = Blueberries
Individual Worth {red} = Cherries
Knowledge {green} = Green Sprinkles (I had to get a bit creative!)
Choice and Accountability {orange} = Mandarin Oranges
Good Works {yellow} = Lemon Pudding
Integrity {purple} = Blackberries
Virtue  {gold} = Apples

Plus we had Wedding Slush...mmmm!  Its always a hit!
For the handout I made these temple blocks...I found the idea on this blog.  They turned out pretty cute and were perfect for our theme!
Now just a few shots of our adorable Young Women! :)


I have the best calling! :)

Katie, what a nice evening of excellence. The blocks are perfect & cost efficient. I like the part of having them chose a woman in the ward and then inviting some to speak. Cheesecake idea also GOOD! You are amazing!
