What Are You Working On Lately?

This candy jar has each young woman’s name on a piece of paper (we include the leaders, too). Each Sunday, the young woman conducting opening exercises draws a name from the jar. The one picked tells us what experience or project she is currently working. Rewarded with a piece of candy! They get the point -- always be working on something. Thanks to our ward YW Presidency for this fabulous idea that helps keeps the YW who have completed the program involved.

Sweet Accomplishment! Candy Bar Poster

Thanks Jeannie R. for this fabulous idea for a candy bar poster! Jeannie's original poster incorporated other fantastic items like:

You are a joy (Almond Joy) to work with in YW.
You blew (bubble gum or bubbles) us away with your hard work and knowledge of the gospel.
You always knew the reason (Riesen) you needed to get things done.
You were always rolling (Rolo or Tootsie Roll) along in your progress.
You were never a dud (Milk Duds).
No one can Snicker (Snickers) at you.
Now Skittle (Skittles) on along helping others out.
Be that great example by showing them the way (Milky Way).
Go forward and shine because you were always mint to be a star (mint, Starburst)

"The Original Quick Release Lollipop Mold!" can be purchased from Sweet Creations at http://www.lollipopmolds.com/. They also have flavoring, sticks, and bags. These molds are so fun and easy to use! Spray the molds with a non-stick cooking spray. Place molds on a sprayed flat surface (marble slab or new, flat cookie sheet work nicely). Place clip over tabs of mold and insert sucker stick between tabs.

Hard Candy Recipe:

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup white corn syrup

1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon flavoring*

food coloring

Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in small saucepan. Cook on medium high to 300 degrees (hard crack). Remove from heat and let cool to 275 degrees then add flavoring and food coloring. Stir until blended. Pour into molds (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray). Allow to cool until candy is set.

Remove clip from mold then remove mold from lollipop.

I have also found flavoring, sticks, and bags at Roberts, Michaels, and WalMart.

*use 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon depending on concentration of flavoring

Personal Progress Rewards

The color of each basket and its contents correspond with the color of a Young Women Value. When a Young Woman completes a Value Experience or Value Project she gets to choose her Value Reward. Rewards include lip gloss, lotion, bubble bath, bath gel, bath fizz, pens, pencils, highlighters, stickers, candy, gum, locker accessories, picture frames, nail polish, nail files, note books, cd covers, magnets, picture clips, etc. When we started this program, we let each Young Woman "catch up" and choose a reward for each item she had complete. Loot bags were needed that first night! Most items were purchased at a dollar store in packages of 2,3,4 or more. Candy and gum are the least expensive -- but lip gloss and bath gel are the most popular! White, yellow, and purple are the most difficult to find -- so keep an eye out for them!
