I even have two projects done already! (I'm gonna focus on the projects in this post) For the Faith project, I read all of D&C, focusing on faith scriptures. And I also finished the Virtue project, reading the Book of Mormon. Both projects increased my testimony that this church is awesome and true :)
And, because I'm apparently not good at doing things in order, I haven't done any Faith or Virtue experiences.... Oh yeah, but I'm talking about the projects :)
My projects in progress include: (feel free to borrow ideas!)
Divine Nature- a prom dress. Actually, the dress is finished, I just have to write about it now.

| It looks better in real life. But you get the idea :) |
Individual Worth- a quote-of-the-day calendar. I have a quote for every day through July 28. If you have any good quotes that I probably haven't seen already (trust me, I've seen lots), then please let me know!
 |
| Yes, I do quote my fellow bloggers in this project :) |
Knowledge- first I memorized the YW theme in English. Now I'm working on memorizing it in French (cuz I'm taking French at school). And then I had planned to make something using the theme (in French) to hang on my wall, but then one of my leaders suggested I make a printable. So I made like ten printables. I shall share some of them with you in a future post :) I promise some are in English!
Choice & Accountability- I'm cleaning my room. Hardcore cleaning my room. It's a disaster. I've always been the stereotypical teen-with-the-messy-room. And also, I was the child-with-the-messy-room. So I figure it's time to fix that :)
Good Works- I'm making jewelry-making kits to send to Ecuador. A lady from my ward has visited there a few times, she's helping me figure out what age range will be using the kits (do I use plastic beads or snazzy glass beads?) and how to get them to Ecuador. Also, I want to send a note with them. Any advice on what to say? :)

| Lots and lots of beads! |
Integrity- my awesome neighbor is gonna help me make a bunch of maxi skirts! Also, my family has had this super gross dress in our "dress-up clothes" for years. It's like three sizes too big for me. Did I mention how much I don't like it? BUT we found a tutorial online for how to convert a dress into a maxi skirt! I think it'll look much better as a skirt :) and I'm probably gonna make skirts for my sisters for Easter. It shall be awesome :) and one for myself, of course! And maybe a shrug or two, to wear over not-so-modest shirts :)

I love your ideas! For my individual worth project, I had a girl in my grade who had cancer. So I got the whole school in on it and we made her a book that I got professionally bound full of notes telling her how much she means to us. It was amazing.
ReplyDeletePersonal progress sure is great because it gives us the motivation to do all those projects we've thought up but that occupy the back burner ;)
That's an awesome project! :D go you!
DeleteHaha, I know right? I've wanted to do more sewing for *so long* but I never get around to it. Now I have a reason to sew AND a due date for it :)

These are such great ideas! I really admire how much thought and effort you are putting into your projects! I can't wait to see maxi skirt pics!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

P.S. I honestly got a little teary eyed when I saw you quoted me in your quote book. That absolutely made my day. <3 Thank you!
You're in there more than once, dearie :) and I know WhitneySue is, too, and there's probably more but there's just so many quotes I can't remember them all :)
