Every month I put together a little Personal Progress Motivator for our Young Women. Now, I don't know that these little motivators send them running home to work on their Personal Progress, but they sure are fun and they seem to enjoy them. I love making them and they love receiving them. It's like a Win-Win set-up we've got going here.
I try to make it cheesy and funny, but give them something they enjoy. Ramen noodles, potato chips and Swedish Fish seemed to be the favorites.
The all-time favorite? Flair Pens! Flair Pens are the way to a Young Woman's (or not-so young woman's) heart. They loved their Flair Pens and were so excited when there was enough left to send the basket around twice for a second pen.
This week's treat was simply a Halloween treat, but it was prepared with love!
I stuffed all my little candies into my basket and was thinking that I sure do need to get a bigger basket. It occurred to me that I received this basket as a wedding gift from my Mom's very best friend, Evelyn. These projects would have been right up her alley. She loved a good project and spent so much time meticulously trimming and cutting to make everything perfect.
I am planning and preparing our Young Women in Excellence and I am in the home stretch. I am down to the decorating part. I sure could use Evelyn's expertise right about now! I feel like I could have given her my theme and she would have had a million ideas to help me tie it all together.
My mom and Evelyn were quite the pair. They turned class parties into solid gold-- long before Pinterest.
I wish my kids could have known the greatness of this duo-- Calhoun and Forthman! I think they were a force to be reckoned with.
